Thread Name: Lyr Req: She Moved through the Fair: Gaelic
Subject: RE: She moved through the fair:Gaelic
Paddy Tunney offers a song he says he collected from one Barney McGarvey in Clon killymore, Kilmacrennan in 1960. The words seem to resemble GREEN GROWS THE LAUREL and SHE MOVES THROUGH THE FAIR. I have a friend who sings a version of GREEN GROWS THE LAUREL to a faster version of the tune of SHE MOVES THROUGH THE FAIR. Paddy does not offer a tune to go with Barney's tune, which he calls I ONCE HAD A TRUE LOVE.
I will post some lyrics later.
Slán go fóill.
