Turlough Lyr Req: Suitable shanties for female singers (43) RE: Lyr Req: Suitable shanties for female singers 06 Oct 04

Muppitz,

What about Triona Ni Dhomhnaill's "When I was a Fair Maid" a.k.a. "The Fair Maid". Maybe it's not really a shanty but more of a "sea song" (I've been frequently told that there is a significant difference), but still it's a great song. You can find it here in the forum.

Oh, and Cathy Jordan (from Dervish) did an excellent version of the song on Dervish' cd "Harmony Hill".
