Subject: RE: Lyr Req: We're No Awa' tae Bide Awa'
As my post to the thread on Carmicheal Mill has been deleted
overnight, I checked your archives & came up with this thread.
"We"re No Awa tae Bide Awa" was a new song published in sheet
music form & on a 78rpm. record in 1946.
The composer acknowledges his debt to the old traditional song
CARNWATH MILL & uses the same tune as the old song in this
completely new production
CARNWATH MILL
{chorus trad.}
and its fare ye weel tae Carnwath Mull
and its fare ye weel ma dearie
o its fare ye weel tae Carnwath Mull
for its there that a lost ma dearie.
There are seven verses to the traditional song & the chorus is
sung after each verse
As with all traditional songs there may be more than the seven verses that I have
Joe.
