28 Jun 05 - 09:14 PM (#1512114) Subject: RE: made up lyrycs From: Q (Frank Staplin) Dan Malone: Lyrics posted in the DT, and at www.florilegium.org, have 'Now her grave lies unident. outside Killarny' in verse 3, line 4. No documentation. Lyrics posted at www.feisanna.com, for the same line, have: 'Now her grave lies on a hillockside Kilarney,' (? hill outside Kilarney). This version, without citation of author or singer, has 'Kitty from Mayo' in the first line. Cannot find any citation of publication or author, or that the lyrics are by Gemma Hasson (did she just sing it?). If guest johnsmith wishes to help, he could provide the documentation for the song. I believe that the tune is among those requested but never posted at Mudcat. |

28 Jun 05 - 09:46 PM (#1512134) Subject: RE: made up lyrycs From: Malcolm Douglas The DT transcription, copied from that SCA site some eight years ago, is pretty poor; though criticism of it is probably most constructively made when sober and in full possession of ones wits. In those days all manner of misheard gibberish was added quite uncritically to the database. More careful and discerning these days, I think, but there's still an awful lot of junk that needs getting rid of if it can't be corrected. Whoever wrote it (and whether Dan or Kitty was the original) it's obviously modern, and almost certainly set to the tune of By the Hush (Paddy's Lamentation); interestingly, that tune was found in Canada, not Ireland; although it seems to have started life as an American minstrel tune, The Happy Land of Canaan, an Irish antecedent isn't impossible; though I don't know of any evidence of one. |

If fucking mistakes creep in from time to fucking time, we fucking apologize. For fuck's sake. |

28 Jun 05 - 10:08 PM (#1512149) Subject: RE: made up lyrycs From: Q (Frank Staplin) Unident'. is the way I usu. write the word. It fits the rhyme scheme too. But that don't make no never-'; we still don't have a doc. vers. (Sorry, Khandu, not poking fun, but c'dn't resist) Not the same song, but it has the feel of "Paddy's Lamentation" as arr. from "The Irish Imigrant" (I'm Sitting on the Stile, Mary) by Paddy Maloney and Mary Black for "Long Journey Home." |

28 Jun 05 - 11:28 PM (#1512178) Subject: RE: made up lyrycs From: Joe Offer When I was a spy listening to phone calls in Berlin, we used "u/i" for "unidentified"; "B-val" (B-value) for stuff we were pretty sure of, "C-Val" for stuff we were not so sure of. "Unident" works for me, but u/i is easier. I like the B-val, C-val stuff for classifying guesses. Transcribing folk songs by ear is often like listening to phone calls and trying to make out what people are saying. -Joe Offer- |

29 Jun 05 - 02:52 AM (#1512224) Subject: RE: made up lyrycs From: Liz the Squeak When I learned abbreviations for taking minutes, rather than shorthand, I was taught to use unident for an unidentified word that I'd misheard or if I was typing up someone elses notes. johnsmith - it is English, it doesn't include the 'F word' and that long key in the middle of the bottom row of your keyboard is the space bar. It inserts a space between letters and words when you press it. Swap your over use of the 'F word' for your under use of the space bar and your postings might merit a better reception. LTS |

29 Jun 05 - 09:56 AM (#1512453) Subject: RE: made up lyrycs From: GUEST,JennyO (Pedant alert) As far as I can see, nobody here on this thread has spelt "Killarney" right yet - except for me ;-) As for "unident", apart from the obvious idea that whoever wrote it couldn't work out what the word was, maybe her grave was unmarked - unidentified? No? Or, maybe she only had one tooth. |
