Subject: Tyree Love Song From: Jim Date: 26 Apr 99 - 09:31 AM Looking for words to this Scotish love song sung by Eileen McGann |
Subject: Lyr Add: HUREE, HUROO (TIREE LOVE SONG) From: Philippa Date: 26 Apr 99 - 12:34 PM Jim, you have the right pronounciation but wrong spelling. I found lyrics at http://home.swipnet.se/lato/ballads/tireelov.html I was a bit surprisd because I already knew the song, but didn't know its title or that it was connected with the isle of Tiriodh / Tiree.
Tiree Love Song(Trad)
All day long out at the peat

Subject: RE: Tyree Love Song From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 30 Oct 02 - 09:19 PM It isn't traditional. The tune was made by Andrew Sinclair, and the English lyric is by Hugh Roberton (copyright 1947), who was also responsible for a number of other "traditional" pieces such as The Mingulay Boat Song, Westering Home and so on. Roberton gave the "vocables" as Ho ree, ho ro. Perhaps we should take his word for it until we have the Gaelic lyric, if there is one. |

Subject: RE: Tyree Love Song From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 30 Oct 02 - 09:30 PM Again like Mairi's Wedding, this is a completely different song. There is a song, which is sung to that tune. Can't find it right now. Will post it some day. |
Subject: Lyr Add: HO-REE, HO-RO, MY LITTLE WEE GIRL From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 30 Oct 02 - 09:36 PM Perhaps I should just give Roberton's text; the DT entry is uncredited and innaccurate. HO-REE, HO-RO, MY LITTLE WEE GIRL (A Tiree Love Song) (Set to English words by Hugh S. Roberton: Tune by Andrew Sinclair.) Ho-ree, ho-ro, my little wee girl! Ho-ree, ho- ro, my fair one! And will you go with me, my Love, To be my own, my rare one? Smiling the land! Smiling the sea! Sweet is the scent of the heather. Would we were yonder, just you and me, The two of us together! All the day long, out at the peat, Then, by the shore in the gloaming, Stepping it lightly with dancing feet, And we together homing. Laughter o' love! Singing galore! Tripping it lightsome and airy: Could we be asking of life for more, My own, my darling Mary? Songs of the Isles, Hugh S. Roberton, 1950. The tune was reproduced "by permission". |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tyree Love Song From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca Date: 01 Nov 02 - 05:52 AM I never heard who supplied the song. I was told it came from a song workshop. I think someone said it was in PEI. From around 15 or 20 years ago. |
