Subject: RE: HELP! Need lyrics - Irish Christmas Carole From: dubman@ns.sympatico.ca Date: 20 May 99 - 10:07 AM Additional info... I know the song was recorded on a Clancy Brothers Live Christmas Album (20-30 yrs. ago) katlaughing - Thanks for introducing me to the site above. It has lots of info. However, I couldn't find anything on the song I'm looking for. Mary - I hope you can find the lyrics because I don't know where else to look. Thanks. |
Subject: RE: HELP! Need lyrics - Irish Christmas Carole From: SingsIrish Songs Date: 20 May 99 - 02:57 PM It is the Clancy Brother's Christmas CD I have...and as we all know, it is sometimes difficult to make out the words...I'm going to give it a try since it is one I want to learn the words to as well. May take a day or two since I am contending with a 20 month old who demands (in a good way) lots of my attention. Mary |
Subject: Lyr Add: CHRISTMAS IN CARRICK (Seamus McGrath) From: SingsIrish Songs Date: 21 May 99 - 04:08 AM Christmas in Carrick by Seamus McGrath On the road the frost is glistening People stream from midnight mass. Friendly candles glow in windows Strangers greet you as you pass. Home then to the laden table Ham and goose and pints of beer. Whiskey handed 'round in tumblers Christmas comes but once a year.
Puddings made with eggs and treacle,
Women, fussing in the kitchen,
as transcribed from The Clancy Brothers: CHRISTMAS |
Subject: RE: HELP! Need lyrics - Irish Christmas Carole From: SingsIrish Songs Date: 21 May 99 - 04:12 AM that's strange that the entire lyrics came up bold...I was trying for only the title... Anyway, hope that helps, dubman! Sláinte! Mary |
Subject: RE: HELP! Need lyrics - Irish Christmas Carole From: Wolfgang Date: 21 May 99 - 04:38 AM Mary, I had a look in the document source. After the title you typed the end command without the backslash before the b. That's the reason why. Wolfgang |
Subject: RE: HELP! Need lyrics - Irish Christmas Carole From: dubman@ns.sympatico.ca Date: 21 May 99 - 02:53 PM Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Mary, if you want to send me your email address I'll let you know why I wanted the lyrics so badly. My address is dubman@ns.sympatico.ca Cheers! Dianne |
Subject: RE: HELP! Need lyrics - Irish Christmas Carole From: SingsIrish Songs Date: 21 May 99 - 03:35 PM Afterwards I decided I must have missed the backslash...thanks for confirming that Wolfgang...at 1:08 in the morning where I live, I wasn't about to look through the HTML info. LOL Mary |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Christmas in Carrick (Seamus McGrath) From: GUEST Date: 18 Jun 17 - 07:12 AM Hi Is this song written by Seamus McGrath, or is it a traditional Irish Christmas song? And or is it sung by Seamus McGrath? Will really appreciate if someone can provide some information on these questions. Thanks in advance. Jinsong |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Christmas in Carrick (Seamus McGrath) From: GUEST,Martin Ryan Date: 19 Jun 17 - 02:38 AM I have never heard (or read) of it other than in the context of The Clancy Brothers - who always credited it to Seamus McGraht (of whom I know nothing). The words have no trace ot traditonal folk-processing. Regards p.s.Given the Clancy Brothers connection, my instinct is that the "Carrick" referred to is Carrick-on-Suir rather than Carrick-on-Shannon, as some sources seem to think. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Christmas in Carrick (Seamus McGrath) From: GUEST Date: 27 Jun 17 - 10:22 AM WOW.... First I really didn't expect any reply since the post before mine dated back to 99!!! According to what I have found in Discogs, Seamus McGrath is a nephew of the Clancy Brothers. but I am not totally sure it is the same Seamus McGrath as the credit of this song goes to. I also found this: http://clancybrothersandtommymakem.com/cbtm_d27_christmas.htm "Finbar Furey: 5-string Banjo, Uilleann Pipes and Whistle & backing vocals (un-credited) Eddie Furey: Guitar & backing vocals (un-credited)" "Side one closes with the festive party song " Christmas In Carrick" (you can hear the Fureys sing on this one). Its great fun." Well the vocal part in this song really doesn't fit their voices quite well, Seamus McGrath might be the leading singer since the Fureys were credited as "uncredited" backing vocals. Anyway, I still cann't find any supporting facts.. Jinsong |
