Barry Taylor | Songs of emigration (44) | RE: Songs of emmigration | 06 Mar 99 |
I have adapted the melody of The Grenadier and the Lady to accommodate the lyrics of a commemorative poem I wrote about one of my ancestors, a young girl, who died on the sea voyage from Ireland to Canada in 1842. It's titled An Emigrant's Daughter. It's another of those suitable for quieter moments. You can hear a midi of it with lyrics here. I hoisted it to the web for the heckuvit a while back, and I was surprised and pleased that several groups and performers around the globe are using it. |
