Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Lass of Acron? / Lass of Aughrim
Subject: Lass of Aughrim
I was sure I'd asked this before, and got info, but can't retrieve the thread, and "Lass of Aughrim" is not listed in the DT and/or Forum. So if I repeat myself, sorry. I was looking for the little folksong Norah Barnacle sings to James Joyce's guitar in the film "Norah", and found it to be "LofA". That is an Irish version of "Lord Gregory", or (Child) "The Lass of Roch Royal" or (as I call it) "Fair Annie of Loch Ryan". Child prints an Irish copy sent from Michigan, oddly enough, but I can't see any Irish texts or music in Bronson. The TUNE Norah sings is in Bronson, from the old Blaikie Manuscript, but the words are now to be sought. Those who helped before, are you out there?
