Subject: Mudcat Song Book gone From: katlaughing Date: 13 Jan 10 - 04:23 PM Anyone have a complete copy of Aine's Mudcat Songbook? It is no longer online, though some of it can be found at the Way Back site. I'll call or email Aine and see if she has files she could send so it can be archived. I'd hate to see that lost. kat

Subject: RE: Aine's Mudcat Songbook gone? From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Jan 10 - 05:01 PM Looks like the last copy of the Songbook at archive.org was February 9, 2008 I think I'll change this into a PermaThread to hold the songbook. Please don't submit songs to this thread - at least, not for now. I haven't figured out an easy way to fix the index, so it won't work right until I have time to think about it. Kat will take care of contacting Aine. Thanks. -Joe- This is an edited Mudcat PermaThread©, intended to duplicate the offsite Mudcat Songbook. Feel free to post to this thread, but be aware that all posts are subject to editing or deletion. In fact, probably most or all messages will be deleted until the entire songbook has been posted. This thread will be moderated by Mousethief. -Joe Offer, Forum Moderator And yes, I know that this needs fixing. The links won't work until Mousethief completes this project.The Mudcat Songbook

2. Our regiment was Highland-born and there we should have stayed. 3. We're told we'll just be strolling down to parade before the King. 4. In a tavern on the Great North Road we met some lowland Scots. 5. The King he never saw us but just ordered us to war. 6. We met on Finchley Common on the seventeenth night of May 7. Now Shaw was not some Highland laird of gentlemanly birth; 8. Though sick he was and wearing still the Regiment's green plaid, 9. They'd singled out two corporals and a piper for to die 10. Three knelt upon the ground within the Tower chapel yard 11. Some went tae Gibraltar and some the Leeward Isles, c. Bill Cameron, 1984 |

Bradypus' Comments: I've probably used the same pun too often in this - but I enjoyed having a challenge again. The tune is 'Mountain Dew', and the last four lines are lifted almost directly from one of the versions in Digitrad - but you've got to end a song somehow. |
Subject: SB:A Prayer For The Madness Of Leap Year by Praise From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Jan 10 - 07:08 PM
The horrible acts of humanity's weakness I lay at your feet, for your cleansing. "Geezis", some cry out, do they know your Name, do they know you had come to redeem us? Others shout out their mourning and grief, and despite knowing most are not listening. Once again people are asking why You would allow such an evil to happen. Women, your sons stand beside a boy who had no one to love or to raise him. Lord, I pray that you give us Your strength, for so often, we choose what is evil. Stand beside us and lend us Your wisdom, and bind us in Your understanding. People, all over, again, are shocked-- not surprised-- and saddened, and this time, for Kayla. |

Subject: SB: An Bhean Chaointe by Áine From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Jan 10 - 08:05 PM An Bhean Chaointe by Áine (Tune: An Bhean Udaí Thall) Áine's Comments: This song is based on the famous legend of 'La Llorona'. Ná gabh chun na habhann, a stór, Ná gabh ansin riamh i d'aonar; Beidh tú toghaite ag an Bhean Chaointe, Ag an bhruach 'sí fliuch is fíanta. Ag caí ag an grian dhubhach, Le gealaigh dorcha 'bhí sí faighte; Marbh neamhbheo na leanbháin, San uisce glasfhuar báite. Le leannán leapa í tréigthe, Le fuath is eagla í lionta; Le háill ard iad caite, Gan slánaitheoir ina dtrocha. Ó mhaidin go faoithin á luchtaíodh, Lena tsianta cráite is maisc, Ar bharr na sruthanna á rugadh, A cuimhne go deo gan reast'. Gealtach le ciontacht is pian, Tuirseach den saol gan suan, I ndallsíon léim sí san abhainn, 'S cailleadh í fán uisce dubh. Lá is oíche taiscéalann sí páistí 'Sí ag fuaidreamh, fuar is caillte, I ndorcha i' sorcha caoineann sí, Anam damanta is riamh riaghta. Ná gabh chun na habhann, a stór, Ná gabh ansin riamh i d'aonar; Beidh tú toghaite ag an Bhean Chaointe, Ag an bhruach 'sí fliuch is fíanta. Áine Cooke (1999) |
Subject: SB: An Emigrant's Daughter by Barry Taylor From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Jan 10 - 08:06 PM An Emigrant's Daughter by Barry Taylor (Tune: The Grenadier and the Lady) Click here for a midi of the tune Barry's Comments: This ballad tells the true story of the voyage of my Irish ancestors from County Tyrone to Canada in 1842. Oh please ne'er forget me though waves now lie o'er me I was once young and pretty and my spirit ran free But destiny tore me from country and loved ones And from the new land I was never to see. A poor emigrant's daughter too frightened to know I was leaving forever the land of my soul Amid struggle and fear my parents did pray To place courage to leave o'er the longing to stay. They spoke of a new land far away 'cross the sea And of peace and good fortune for my brothers and me So we parted from townland with much weeping and pain 'Kissed the loved ones and the friends we would ne'er see again. The vessel was crowded with disquieted folk The escape from past hardship sustaining their hope But as the last glimpse of Ireland faded into the mist Each one fought back tears and felt strangely alone. The seas roared in anger, making desperate our plight And a fever came o'er me that worsened next night Then delirium possessed me and clouded my mind And I, for a moment, saw that land left behind. I could hear in the distance my dear mother's wailing And the prayers of three brothers that I'd see no more And I felt father's tears as he begged for forgiveness For seeking a new life on the still distant shore. Oh please ne'er forget me though waves now lie o'er me I was once young and pretty and my spirit ran free But destiny tore me from country and loved ones And from the new land I was never to see.

Subject: SB: Ar Bhóthar i gCósovó by Áine From: Joe Offer Date: 14 Jan 10 - 03:06 AM Ar Bhóthar i gCósovó by Áine Áine's Comments: I wrote this song after hearing a story on the radio about a Kosovar woman whose infant died while the family was being expelled from their village and pushed to the country's borders during the war in Kosovo. The mother had to bury the baby in the snow on the roadside because she was not allowed to stop long enough to dig a grave. Slán leat, slán agat a stór Caithfidh mise le gabháil ar aghaidh Tusa i do choladh go deo Mise mo dheacaireacht óró Slán leat, slán agat a chroí Béarfaidh mise daghaidh mar bheo Tusa i do leachtán chomh fuar S mé ar mo chosán chomh corrach Slán leat, slán agat manamsa Bíodh fhios agat go mbeidh do scéal I mo lámh s mo bhéal go dtí An domhan ar fad bí daithne Slán leat, slán agat a leanbhán Coladh sámh is suaimhneach a h-óbó Ná bí buartha mar bheidh mé Ar ais uair inteacht a h-óró Áine Cooke (1998) |

When they say "back to basics", we don't doubt it In so called 'primitive' cultures, they're taught what they need When mass education started, it was for liberty You have one level of attainment, and you devise a test Take a system that's built on failure, mix with our 'class system' as well We must be doing something wrong, have we money to burn? Our children are in chains, chains called education We have stored a lot of knowledge, about our society I don't have all the answers, the children, they may have a few ©Roger Gall. |
