Subject: Need Lyrics of Freemantle Bay From: GUEST,The Midget Date: 22 Oct 01 - 06:02 PM I have been at my wits end trying to find the words of this song. A friend of mine heard it played a few years ago and recently tried to get hold of the words but is having no luck. I don't know any of the words of the song but my friend has told me he thinks it was recorded by a group called "BORU". He also told me that the theme of the song is about a fellow from Doolin, Co Clare either emigrating or been transported to Australia. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks, The Midget |
