I could not find it trying google and the search function, perhaps some of you can help me? Chords or Tab would be perfect, but the only lyrics will be googd at all. Thanks, Celi |

20 Nov 04 - 07:31 PM (#1334049) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sweet Avendale From: MartinRyan "Avondale", written by Dominic Behan, using, curiously enough, a beautiful tune, used earlier for "The Orange Maid of SLigo". A search on Avondale shoujd turn it up for you. Regards |

25 Nov 04 - 11:02 AM (#1338823) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sweet Avondale From: Kevin Sheils There is another song on subject of Parnell called the "Blackbird of Sweet Avondale" sung by Geordie Hanna on a Topic CD Celtic Voices, although there he's listed as George whereas I usually see him listed as Geordie. It's based, I beieve on a Jacobite song The Royal Blackbird but with Parnell symbolised as The Blackbird rather than James Stewart |

25 Nov 04 - 03:19 PM (#1339046) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sweet Avondale From: Mark Cohen I believe the words in the DT should be Where tall trees whisper low the tale and Where fame and ancient glory fade This is based on my memory of the Mick Moloney recording, so those may be wrong, and there may be other errors I've missed. Aloha, Mark |

25 Nov 04 - 06:35 PM (#1339196) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sweet Avondale From: MARINER I think you're correct Mark,they are also the words used by Al O'Donnell on his excellent recording of the song. |

03 Oct 24 - 06:13 AM (#4209229) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Avondale (Behan) From: Gabriel Unfortunately, the DT lyrics have multiple errors, if one takes the words sung by the author, Dominic Behan, on the Rebellion LP. The order of the verses also differs, as indeed does the title of the song. On the album it is titled 'Parnell'. The original words as sung by the author are below with the erroneous wording in brackets. The order of verses has also been corrected. Oh have you been to Avondale And (wandered) lingered in (the) her lovely vale (Where) While tall trees whisper(all)low the tale Of Avondale's proud eagle Long years that green and lovely (vale) glade (Has) Had nursed Parnell, (our) her grandest Gael And cursed the land that (has) had betrayed (Fair) Bright Avondale's proud eagle Where (fame) pride and ancient glory (fate) fade Such was the land where he was laid Like Christ was thirty pieces paid For Avondale's proud eagle |

One of my favourite singers from the dim and distant. Saw him in Nottingham and environs and later a couple of times on the Slatterys Capel Street Sunday morning sessions in Dublin. Great musician and vocalist. Avondale |
