Subject: SB: The Road Goes Ever On (Tolkien), tune by Mbo From: Joe Offer Date: 01 Nov 10 - 02:40 AM THE ROAD GOES EVER ON Poem J.R.R. Tolkien The road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began Now far ahead the road has gone And I must follow, if I can Pursuing it with eager feet Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet And wither then? I cannot say Wither then--I cannot say Roads go ever on and on Over rock and under tree By caves where never sun has shone By streams that never find the sea Over snow by winter sown And through the merry flowers of June Over grass and over stone And under mountains in the moon Under mountains in the moon. Roads go ever on and on Under cloud and under star Yet feet that wandering have gone Turn at last to home afar Eyes that fire and sword have seen And horror in the halls of stone Look at last on meadows green And trees and hills they long have know Trees and hills they long have know. The road goes ever on and on Out from the door where it began Now far ahead the road has gone Let others follow it who can! Let them a journey new begin But I at last with weary feet Will turn toward the lighten inn My evening rest and sleep to meet Evening rest and sleep to meet. --Mbo Click to play |

MichaelAnthony's Comments: I was listening to some recorded guitar playing I had done when I had visited my brother, heard a melody in there and then the lyrics came and by the evening the song was done! It was one of those experiences where everything falls together kind of magically. It seemed like an old folk tune...a style I don't usually write in...and I searched and found the Mudcat. The rains of April, cold and long |

Tim was shot in '81 by a stranger on his stair, I swore vengeance for their sakes, and for the sake of Bobby Sands And then one night my own dear Wife, she took me by the hand I lay long awake that night, then fell into a dream: " My son, there is no glory seeking vengeance for the past, |

Rich with illogic, and rife with disparity; Thinking so muddled it could lead to perdition, Blatant insanity, crazy but lawful; Demented morals and schemes to enforce them! Mad politicians, with schemes so self-serving! |

Subject: SB: Over the Edge of the World by Kevin McGrath From: Joe Offer Date: 30 Oct 10 - 09:08 PM
McGrath's Comments: Here is a song I wrote a couple of years ago when my wife's mother died. Last week (March 6th 2001)my brother Brian suddenly died over in Ireland, and I found myself remembering it as I walked up to his place, and I sang it in the pub after we buried him on Sunday. It seemed to fit him well. I just sang the first two verses - the last one didn't seem necessary. (Maybe it might work better as a first verse, with the other two to follow.) I find songs can help a lot sometimes. I hope maybe this one might - and I've put it up on my website tonight, with chords, but no notes, Over the Edge of the World Now you've left us behind and you've gone on your way, I'm watching and waiting and trying hard to see Well, I stood at the cross at the far end of town, © Kevin McGrath |

Subject: SB: Off To The Sugarbush Again by Bill Cameron From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Oct 10 - 01:50 AM Off To The Sugarbush Again by Bill Cameron ("Willie-O") & Gary Glover Tune: Limejuice Tub (Australian) Willie-O's Comments: Well, I've written a couple of songs about maple syruping (which I presume is what you mean by "maple harvest"), a subject I have a lot of experience with. Here's one which borrows a tune and most of a verse from the Australian shearing song "Lime Juice Tub." (Kangaroos don't show up much in this part of the world, but Watson's Corners, (which I have spoken of before, see "Gigs from Hell" thread) got some minor fame some years ago when a guy swore up and down he'd seen a 'roo cross the road. Got a lot of attention, but best guess is it was a combination of bad whiskey, bad vision and a deformed calf . . . )
(Chorus:) Here in east Ontario, when the sap is running it's time to go, From the second rock back to Gruesome Gulch, (Chorus) It's home drinkin beer I'd rather be, (Chorus) Although we live beyond our means, Our sugar shack is a relic fine, The pans all leak and they're full of scum |
