Subject: RE: LYR REQ: Excursion around the Bay From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca Date: 12 Sep 98 - 07:38 PM Great Big Sea sings it. I don't think the lyrics are that hard to make out but I haven't my CD at hand. It isn't in the two books of Newfoundland songs that I have. |

EXCURSION AROUND THE BAY
Well it was on this Monday morning and the day being calm and fine
Oh Me Oh My I heard m' old one cry
We had full three hundred souls on board oh what a splendid sight
My wife she got no better she turned a sickly green
My wife she got no better my wife m' darling dear
She died below the Brandy's as we where coming back
So there ya have it.. wear it in good heath or whatever... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Excursion around the Bay From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Jan 10 - 02:31 AM It's hard for me to believe that this is traditional. Anybody have source and background information for this song, and are the lyrics correct? -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Excursion around the Bay From: Terry McDonald Date: 02 Jan 10 - 04:43 AM I wouldn't have regarded it as 'trad' either, but it's listed as such on Great Big Sea's first album. However, the notes to the song add 'tradition attributes this song to Johnny Burke, a turn-of-the-century St John's songwriter.' |
