I would love to know title and lyrics. Hope someone can help. James |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: GUEST,Nynia at Uni. Date: 11 Dec 00 - 10:35 AM Hi James, it's in the DT. Just type in The Rare Ould Times DigiTrad Lyrics Search box and hit go. Sorry my minds a blank just now I can't think how do do the link to it direct. Nynia :-) -) ) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 11 Dec 00 - 10:38 AM It's named "The Rare Ould Times" by Pete St. John, and you will find it in the Rs in the Digitrad. Great song. Sarah |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 11 Dec 00 - 10:40 AM Nynia -- you're FAST! Sarah |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: Noreen Date: 11 Dec 00 - 10:43 AM So I've heard, Sarah- watch him!! Link is here Aren't we a helpful bunch? Noreen |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: Noreen Date: 11 Dec 00 - 10:49 AM Am I right in thinking it should be Peggy Dignan in Verse 3? And was she a raging child of Mary? I'm just learning it too. Noreen |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: GUEST,Saran Date: 11 Dec 00 - 10:51 AM Noreen, Yes, I think it's "Dignan", and she was a "rogue and a child of Mary" in my copy... Sarah |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: GUEST,Nynia at Uni. Date: 11 Dec 00 - 10:53 AM Hi All, I sing rougue and a child of Mary, and yes Peggy Dignan, a few other minor variances here and there. We must have been typing at the same time Sarah. Noreen when am I going to hear you singing again? Nynia :-) -) ) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: GUEST,Nynia at Uni Date: 11 Dec 00 - 10:55 AM Now who's fast Sarah...LOL Oops I'm in the library, better keep it to a snigger Nynia :-) -) ) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: Noreen Date: 11 Dec 00 - 11:02 AM Working hard then Nynia? Travelling past here at the end of term?? Noreen |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: GUEST,Nynia at Uni Date: 11 Dec 00 - 11:11 AM Wish I could come down and meet you all (and Micca) at the weekend, can't really afford it though. See you soon. Nynia :-( -( ( |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: GUEST,james Date: 11 Dec 00 - 11:52 AM Thank you all very much |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 11 Dec 00 - 01:16 PM "Spring up along the quay" I think it should be, in the last verse.
And sometimes she's Peggy Diamond, and I prefer that. It's as Dublin a name as Dignam, and it adds an extra sparkle to the line. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: GUEST,Sarah Date: 11 Dec 00 - 01:25 PM McGrath, Again, that's what my source says -- I imaging "ouay" is a typo, and the capital allowed it to slip through the proofreading. Diamond, eh? I'll try that... Sarah |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: Robo Date: 11 Dec 00 - 03:51 PM What about the 'I remember Dublin' in "Dublin '62" -- lovely tune by Dermot O'Brien? I searched for the lyrics but couldn't locate them. Anyone? Rob-o |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: Big Phil Date: 12 Dec 00 - 04:06 PM Try to find Rare ould Times sung by the Late Great Luke Kelly, it will moisten your eyes........ |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: Den Date: 12 Dec 00 - 05:23 PM I always thought the singer was refering to himself being the rogue. The opposite of being a child of Mary. I heard it as Peggy Ditenan. Den |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: Noreen Date: 13 Dec 00 - 12:32 PM Thanks, Den- that makes far more sense. It's been puzzling me, wondering what he meant. Noreen |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I remember Dublin From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 13 Dec 00 - 11:48 PM Rogue refers to the girl being a scalawag, and a Child of Mary means she was a member of a church group - the Children of Mary. And Pete St. John told me the name was Deignan. All the best. Seamus |
