Thread Name: Origin: Ash Grove
Subject: Lyr Req: yet another Ash Grove thread
G'day all,

i'm a new member here and hoping someone out there can help me out... i've noticed there've been alot of Ash Grove threads on the many different lyrics to the tune..

there is a set of lyrics i heard several years back.. and they captured me. however..haha.. like most things i don't want to forget i've forgot a good part of them. unfortunately i've been unable to find them anywhere on the web either.

the lyrics start something like

Beneath the old Ash tree i sat in the gloaming
Entranc'd by the ravishing voice of my love
Who came from the meadows where she had been roaming
To wake with the echos that slept in the grove

... then i don't remember the latter half of the first verse

verse two begins...

The year have advanc'd and the years have receded
since that happy moment, beneath the Ash tree

and that's all i can recall

If anyone knows the rest of these lyrics, or where they came from, it would be most appreciated if you could revive my memory.

Many Thanks,
tyler
