GENTLE GWEN / GWENNO FWYN
The words to this Welsh tune were written by Mynyddog in 1866. The American tune Nelly Bly is a variant of this tune. From the Contemplator site.
Gentle Gwen, O gentle Gwen O sweep the house out clean And bring the armchair up the way I'd like to have a sing Put a peat-turf on the fire The rush-candle light the hearth Whilst I myself will get tuned up Th'old strings of the gentle harp Chorus Gentle Gwen, O gentle Gwen O sing a song to me And whilst you stir the porridge pot A song I'll sing to thee. Gentle Gwen, O gentle Gwen O look at little John He's smiling in his crib at you As if an angle born Place a kiss upon his cheeks And lull him off to sleep There's no dearer in the world Excepting you, my sweet Chorus 2 Gentle Gwen, O gentle Gwen O sing a song to me And while you're kissing little John A song I'll sing to thee. Gentle Gwen, O gentle Gwen O how good it is for me With food and fire and honest heart A corner clean to live All that's in the world so good What I love best to non To turn our backs on a troubled world To you, my dear, I run. Chorus 1 Gentle Gwen, O gentle Gwen O the world it goes so fine Turn about to work and sing It's like this all the time I am the king of my own house With head and heart so keen And just as I am king, my Gwen So you're a little queen Chorus 1 MIDI file: GWEN_NEW.mid Timebase: 120 TimeSig: 4/4 24 8 Key: C Tempo: 100 (600000 microsec/crotchet) Start 0000 1 76 103 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 77 118 0058 0 77 000 0002 1 79 113 0106 0 79 000 0014 1 76 118 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 77 123 0058 0 77 000 0002 1 79 118 0106 0 79 000 0014 1 76 107 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 77 113 0058 0 77 000 0002 1 79 113 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 76 121 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 74 118 0178 0 74 000 0002 1 72 118 0058 0 72 000 0002 1 76 118 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 77 123 0058 0 77 000 0002 1 79 113 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 79 109 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 81 103 0058 0 81 000 0002 1 83 105 0058 0 83 000 0002 1 84 118 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 84 127 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 83 121 0058 0 83 000 0002 1 84 118 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 86 113 0058 0 86 000 0002 1 86 111 0058 0 86 000 0002 1 84 121 0202 0 84 000 0038 1 76 121 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 77 118 0058 0 77 000 0002 1 79 116 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 79 116 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 76 121 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 77 121 0058 0 77 000 0002 1 79 111 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 79 111 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 76 118 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 77 113 0058 0 77 000 0002 1 79 116 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 76 121 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 74 121 0178 0 74 000 0002 1 72 121 0058 0 72 000 0002 1 76 116 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 77 121 0058 0 77 000 0002 1 79 107 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 79 109 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 81 118 0058 0 81 000 0002 1 83 109 0058 0 83 000 0002 1 84 125 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 84 118 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 83 113 0058 0 83 000 0002 1 84 105 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 86 109 0058 0 86 000 0002 1 86 113 0058 0 86 000 0002 1 84 121 0178 0 84 000 0002 1 84 123 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 84 118 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 84 111 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 84 113 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 84 116 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 83 123 0058 0 83 000 0002 1 81 118 0106 0 81 000 0014 1 81 116 0058 0 81 000 0002 1 79 116 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 79 121 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 76 121 0090 1 72 121 0004 0 76 000 0026 1 74 123 0004 0 72 000 0174 0 74 000 0002 1 72 118 0058 0 72 000 0002 1 76 121 0058 0 76 000 0002 1 77 118 0058 0 77 000 0002 1 79 111 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 79 111 0058 0 79 000 0002 1 81 123 0090 1 83 123 0004 0 81 000 0026 1 84 116 0004 0 83 000 0086 1 84 123 0004 0 84 000 0026 1 83 125 0004 0 84 000 0054 0 83 000 0002 1 84 113 0058 0 84 000 0002 1 86 127 0090 1 84 123 0004 0 86 000 0026 1 84 121 0004 0 84 000 0198 0 84 000 End This program is worth the effort of learning it.
