Subject: Lyr Req: fare thee well Mary movourneen
Barry Gleeson sang a song at the GoilĂ­n Club in Dublin a couple of weeks ago, he was in great voice and everybody enjoyed the number with which he finished the night. It was an American Civil War song, the Chorus went something like this:

Farethee well Mary movourneen,
it grieves my heart sore from you to part,
Farethee well Mary movourneen,
--------------------sweet bride of my heart.

I have tried the Digitrad and the Forum but nothing showed up, any ideas?
