Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 06 Oct 21 - 12:55 PM During last night's Zoom session of one of our local folk clubs, we were reminded that the Eyemouth tragedy took place during October. The singer had written her own song, of which I do not have the lyrics, but here is the late John Watt's song (copied from the DT) EYEMOUTH TRAGEDY (John Watt) By the dire rocks o' Urquhart, though deadly were the signs Out sailed the Eyemouth 'fyvies' with a thousand baited lines. Though a glasslike sea and a cloudless sky made the elders bid them stay But these are the times the brave men die, but the 'halflins" (?) held the sway. Three leagues from the shore the lines were cast while the wind it held its breath And the sails hung limp from every mast and the sea was still as death For death was the bride that came that day, cut the ribbons from the creels 'Twas a raging wave hit Eyemouth town and took her bonny chiels.
There's many a bride has lost her groom as the death-toll quickly grew,
The grinding turn o' the hearse wheel in October '81 Wikipedia: Eyemouth disaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyemouth_disaster Cilla Fisher - Eyemouth Disaster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwh6YxXeoBE The Eyemouth Disaster · The Easy Club https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG7B1063fEk Another song about Eyemouth EYEMOUTH LAMENT Eyemouth Lament-Keith Giddens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkTPZ6BQSkc Link to post below NEVER THE SAME

CHORUS For tonight we'll merry merry be
The man who drinketh small beer And goes to bed quite sober,
The man who drinketh strong beer And goes to bed right mellow,
But he who drinks just what he likes And getteth half seas over,
The man who kisses a pretty girl And goes and tells his mother,
The maiden who enjoys a kiss and comes back for another,
Come into the garden Maud And don't be so particular,
If I had a pile of bricks I'd build my chimney higher. |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 18 Sep 21 - 07:12 PM P.S. If you look further into the script accompanying Daniel Kelly's singing of "Hallowe'en" it seems he had the same problem of not being able to find a YouTube of Jim Reid singing it, but he has linked to some of the other versions already mentioned above. I'll have a look through my Jim Reid CDs to see if I can find it. |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 18 Sep 21 - 07:06 PM In answer to Geoff Lawes, no that's not Jim Reid singing in the YouTube link you gave: it's Daniel Kelly (as it says in the script accompanying the video!!) and he does make a nice job of it, though he has a deeper voice than Jim's. You might like this track of Jim singing: the songs are seasonal anyway and include what is perhaps his best-known setting of a Violet Jacob poem - Norland Wind (aka The Wild Geese): Jim Reid songs |
