Subject: Bone Of My Bone .....? From: Ciaran Date: 03 Jun 99 - 03:33 AM HELP!! I was watching Sibin (or Sult?) on TnaG a couple of weeks ago and I heard a beautiful song by a lady with the most amazing voice. She was accompanied by the Voice Squad and some of the words were... blood of my blood, bone of my bone....?? I found bone of my bone in The Joy Of Living on the DT, but I don't think that was the same song. Any help on the song / singer please ? |

Subject: RE: Bone Of My Bone .....? From: sail Date: 05 Jun 99 - 08:11 AM Ciaran, I think I've got it! The song I have is off a tape called One Size Feets All with Anne Dodson and a few others. Pixie Lauer sings a Rosalie Sorrels song with this chorus: But we're not one we're worlds apart you and I, child of my body, bone of my bone, apple of my eye. Is that it? It's a lullaby written for a teenager. |

Subject: RE: Bone Of My Bone .....? From: Ciaran Date: 10 Jun 99 - 10:49 AM Thanks everyone for your help - I've had an email back from a researcher at TnaG and he tells me the lady was called Maighréad Ní Dhomhnaill and the song was The Wexford Carol. If I find the tune/lyrics, then I'll post them later....unless somebody else has them ???? Slan go foill |

Subject: Wexford carols From: Philippa Date: 10 Jun 99 - 11:36 AM There have been other threads concerning Wexford Carols: this Wexford carol thread includes lyrics, not apparently the one you want, but a good place to continue the discussion. Have a look anyway agus go n-éirí an taighde leat. |

Subject: RE: Bone Of My Bone .....? From: Ciaran Date: 15 Jun 99 - 06:02 AM GOT IT !!!! The song was 'Wexford Lullaby' and was recorded by John Renbourn (of Pentangle fame) on his 'Traveller's Prayer' album. The Voice Squad and Maighréad Ní Dhomhnaill appear on this track and the title track. Do please try and listen to this beautiful song - it will absolutely knock your socks off! Thanks again for all the help. Ciaran. |

Subject: Lyr Add: WEXFORD LULLABY (John Renbourn) From: Ciaran Date: 22 Jun 99 - 08:56 AM These are the lyrics (as I have transcribed them)maybe somebody could get the dots and post them ? WEXFORD LULLABY Words/music - John Renbourn Lulay lulay, my tiny child Too soon you'll know the world so wild Yes all too soon you will be grown And I'll bide here alone, alone. The rushing bellows you shall ride And the light of the North Star will be your guide But yet awhile, I'll have you stay Lulay my tiny child, lulay. For you shall run in meadows green And sport with otters all in the stream And you shall chase the dapple deer And swim with salmon in the waters clear. To pluck the small birds from the sky On the tail of the South wind, you shall fly And take the high hills for your home Blood of my blood, bone of my bone. The moon must sleep beyond the tree So weep sweet maid of Galilee The sun must rise before the cross To dry your tears and share your loss. The darkest hour of the starless night Must bow to the power of the Eastern light That heals the earth and makes us whole Heart of my heart, soul of my soul. And when at last your course is run Joy of my joy, my little son Beneath the sky you'll stand alone Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. Yes you shall stand on the coal-black sands To cross o'er the waters of the Western lands But now I have you at my breast Lulay my sweet one, gently rest. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bone of my bone...? / Wexford Lullaby From: GUEST,# Date: 01 Mar 21 - 11:04 AM Here's the Rosalie Sorrels song, "Apple of My Eye." Other than the phrase from Genesis, there seems to be little connection between the songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GgTmTz3Fos |
