26 Apr 97 - 02:39 PM (#4341) Subject: lyrics wanted: Mist Covered Mountains From: citrogirl I am looking for the english words to a gaelic song called, 'Mist Covered Mountains' or the gaelic words written out phoenetically. It is a hauntingly beautiful song which I heard sung by a Canadian group called, The Rankin Family off of there first recording. Their version was also used for the movie, 'Margaret's Museum'. The chords and music would be wonderful to have too, but, not as important as the lyrics. I am truly obsessed with this tune and would greatly appreciate any help. |

There shall I visit the place of my birth And they'll give me a welcome, the warmest on earth All so loving and kind full of music and mirth, In the sweet sounding language of home. There shall I gaze on the mountains again, On the fields and the woods and the burns and the glens, Away 'mong the corries beyond human ken In the haunts of the deer I will roam. Hail to the mountains with summits of blue, To the glens with their meadows of sunshine and dew To the women and men ever constant and true, Ever ready to welcome one home. Hope this was what you were looking for. Alison |

It's by Mark Sugars. http://ingeb.org/songs/mistcovd.html From the information there, the song was apparently written in the autumn of 1856. The tune is "Johnny Stays Long At the Fair".

17 Feb 01 - 09:03 AM (#400093) Subject: RE: lyrics wanted: Mist Covered Mountains From: Malcolm Douglas The tunes are fundamentally the same, though they have grown apart with the years. According to The Fiddler's Companion, Oh Dear What Can the Matter Be (a.k.a. Johnny's So Long at the Fair) was first published in the British Lyre for 1792, and "was sung as a famous duet between Samuel Harrison and his wife, the soprano Miss Cantelo, at Harrison's Concerts, periodic events which he began in 1776". It became, as a consequence, widely-known, and turns up in England, Scotland and Ireland in various forms, and, as was mentioned above, the Scottish variant under discussion was used by Junior Crehan as the basis for his jig Misty Mountain.

17 Feb 01 - 11:07 AM (#400145) Subject: RE: lyrics wanted: Mist Covered Mountains From: Metchosin Peter, Knopfler was born in Glasgow, so I would imagine the song might have some significance for him. Also in the movie Local Hero, for which Knopfler did the soundtrack, there is a ceilidh band which plays the tune. I have this song performed by Jimmy Shand, on an old 78, and even without the words, Shand's performance brings a lump to my throat. Very interesting, I would have never associated it with Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be had it not been pointed out, thanks for the information Malcolm. |

24 Jul 02 - 09:58 AM (#753679) Subject: RE: lyrics wanted: Mist Covered Mountains From: GUEST,Philippa It would seem that Iain/John Cameron wrote the words in Gaelic originally. The link George Seto recommends gives Gaelic words for Chi Mi Na Morbheanna, and the Gaelic lyrics are also found on another Mudcat thread. According to Barry Taylor (see correct link posted by Malcolm Douglas), Cameron set his lyrics to "Duil ri Baile Chaolais fhaicinn (Hoping to see Ballachulish). The original tune was based on Johnny stays long at the Fair." If anyone has words to the Baile Chaolais song, I'd quite like to see them, especially since I have some acquaintances from Ballachulish. |

Chì Mi Na Mór-bheanna was not set to the Dùil Ri Baile-Chaolais Fhaicinn (aka Hoping I Would be Seeing Ballachulish). The original title is Dùil Ri Baile-Chaolais Fhaicinn. The notes in An t-Oranaiche says that Iain Cameron had writen the song on the first day of fall in 1856, using the air of Johnny Stays Long At The Fair.

14 Sep 03 - 07:32 AM (#1018544) Subject: RE: lyrics wanted: Mist Covered Mountains From: Jim McLean For years now the melody for Mist Covered Mountains as posted in these threads and elsewhere has not been the correct melody for Chi Mi na Morbheanna or The Mist Covered Mountains and it's no wonder that many people have found it difficult to sing the words to it. The melody posted is the one I use for Smile in your Sleep (Hush, hush don't cry in your sleep. After a great deal of help from George Seto I managed to get Frank at www.ingeb.org/songs/chiminam.midi to put up the correct tune. NOW you can sing the Gaelic/English words to it and they will scan. The main difference is in the first two lines of the verse but there are small changes elsewhere. I sound the last note of verse and chorus so that the word 'baby' can be sung as two syllables -- a small change but a pointer as to which version of the melody is being used. |

However, I wonder if there is any documentation or evidence to relate them historically (as opposed to musically)? It is suggested in one post above that the melody of MCM is based on that of ODWCTMB - is there evidence of that provenance? And, for that matter, when we talk about "the" melody of MCM, are we in agreement as to what melody we are talking about, i.e., is there more than one? The only one I know is that recorded by Ryan's Fancy - and John Allen Cameron? - is there another melody? |

"Hoping to see Ballachulish" Chorus: O I see, I see the big mountains; O I see, I see the peaked mountains; O I see, I see the corries --- I see the mist-covered peaks. 1 I will soon see the place where I was born, I will be greeted in a language I understand; I will receive hospitality and love there when I arrive, That I would not trade for tons of gold. 2 I see the sun in the grey of the heavens, I see in the west her grey dusk when she sets; It is not the same as usual in this town, The smoke hides its glory. 3 There I shall get music from the birds of the Homeland, Although it is past the time of the cuckoo, There are mavis there whose voices I prefer, To pipes, or a fiddle as music. 4 I can get herring and fishing nets there, I can get trout and salmon by asking; If I were to get my desire it's there I would stay, That's where I would live the longest. 5 I see there woods, I see there groves, I see there fair and fertile fields, I see the deer on the floor of the corries, Hidden in a shroud of mist. 6 High mountains and beautiful slopes, The people there always with fair customs, Light is my step leaping to see them, And I will stay for a while willingly. 7 I will leave tumult, commotion, and clatter, To see the land where the whisper can be heard, I will leave the closed, dirty courts, To view the glens of cattle. 8 Welcome to the blue hills, knolls, hillocks, Welcome to the great, rugged peaks, Welcome to the woods, welcome to all, Oh! It's happy to be living near them. . |

It originally appears on my first CD, Henry Martin: On the Salt Sea, as the first verse of the song. Please feel free to use! (But also please credit additional lyrics by Christopher Leidenfrost if recording). Long have I sailed on the wide open sea, Working the water to bring home my fee, But the winds are a’changin’ and soon shall I see The mist-covered mountains of home. Cheers! |
