Thread Name: ADD: The Ferns Exile (Mick Galvin??)
Subject: Origins: Who wrote 'The Ferns Exile'?
Hi,
A friend of mine is recording 'The Ferns Exile', and was told it was composed by Mick Galvin (from Kerry?)?
Is this true?
First line is:
'Bitter autumn breezes blow along the pier at port San Louis'
Chorus is:
'Put your feeble hand in mine, let me take you back in time, To the spring of '98 when freedom called, When as a youth with firey pride along with Kelly and McBride, You marched to Tubberneering side by side.'
