GUEST,Jemima Lyr Req: Erin's Green Shore / Eileen McMahon (2) Erins Green Shore 12 Jun 01

Hi,
I'm looking for Erin's Green Shore as played on Dervish's 'At the End of the Day' album. I have found a few versions but they aren't the one I'm looking for and I can't make out what the singer is saying sometimes.
I know that the first few verses go as follows:

Last night as I lay on my pillow,
A vision appeared in mt view,
of a ship sailing over the ocean,
and the breeze sweetly scented with bloom (Not sure of that line)

On the deck stood a lovely young maiden,
With features I ne'er saw before,
And she sighed for the wrongs of her country,
As she sailed from Erin's green shore


I'm also looking for any folk players who play at a regular haunt in the Plymouth area who need a bodhran player. (No jokes please unless the urge is really irresistible (: )

Slainte,
Jemima
