Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Please help ... From: Joe Offer Date: 19 Dec 00 - 02:59 AM Great maps, MudGuard. You inspired me to go looking for the lighthouses of Ireland (click) - I found lots of great pictures. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Please help ... From: MudGuard Date: 18 Dec 00 - 07:11 AM Hi Joe, not a rhyme but at least a map of the provinces and the counties within each province (click on the map to see detailed maps of each province. MudGuard |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Please help ... From: Haruo Date: 18 Dec 00 - 03:10 AM Do you know a mnemonic for the 32 counties? (Something perhaps along the lines of Tom Lehrer's Elements?) We have 39 counties here in Washington (the other Washington, that is), but I have no idea how I would teach someone who wasn't good at just rote memorization of lists the names of 'em all. Much less where they are on the map (I'm not sure I know them all myself). Liland PS Of course like most of the US although we have counties we've never had counts. (Or Earls.) |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Please help ... From: Joe Offer Date: 18 Dec 00 - 01:45 AM Yup, Amergin, I'm looking dumber and dumber. Four PROVINCES of Ireland, which is just what the Digital Tradition said, if I had looked. What are the names of the four provinces? Is Ulster one of them? I was aware of counties, not provinces. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Please help ... From: Amergin Date: 18 Dec 00 - 01:39 AM No, they are not the four counties, they are the four provinces. |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Please help ... From: Joe Offer Date: 18 Dec 00 - 01:37 AM Hmmmm. I'm sure you've found the one, Amergin -and it's not the four Green Fields (click) that the Clancys sing, is it? What are the four green fields -four counties in Ireland, right? -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Please help ... From: Haruo Date: 18 Dec 00 - 01:36 AM What's this part about giving away our ladies to stop overseas tyranny? Sounds like a queer kind of honour to me. Liland |
Subject: Lyr Add: HOME FIRES (Ron Kavana) From: Amergin Date: 18 Dec 00 - 01:31 AM Sorry, Joe, but I found the lyrics he was looking for....though I didn't find a tune for it.
Home Fires
We had four green fields,
Chorus: And we'll keep the home fires burning,
The Guilford Four, the Six from Birmingham,
(CHORUS)
Divide and rule has ever been your game,

Subject: Lyr Add: KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING From: MMario Date: 28 Nov 00 - 10:33 AM from John_in_Brisbane: KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING (Words, Lena Guilbert Ford. Music, Ivor Novello. 1915) They were summoned from the hill-side; They were called in from the glen, And the Country found them ready At the stirring call for men. Let no tears add to their hardship, As the soldiers pass along, And although your heart is breaking, Make it sing this cheery song. CHORUS: Keep the Home-fires burning, While your hearts are yearning Though your lads are far away They dream of Home; There's a silver lining Through the dark clouds shining. Turn the dark cloud inside out, Till the boys come Home. Overseas there came a pleading, "Help a Nation in distress!" And we gave our glorious laddies, Honour bade us do no less. For no gallant Son of freedom To a tyrants yoke should bend, And a noble heart must answer To the sacred call of "Friend." chorus x 2 NWC to DickG. Midi sent to Alan |
