Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dessie O'Halloran 'the soldiers farewell From: Noreen Date: 09 May 10 - 08:05 PM First attempt: (Dessie's diction has never been easy to understand) I was sitting side by side with my fond and loving bride As a soldier who has just returned from war I've been away for years from my native land so dear Fighting for my king and country's ?... But now I have returned, my native land (to mourn)? ..? my loving wife died? in my arms I press her to my heart , ..? that we must part and these are the loving words I said: to be continued |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dessie O'Halloran 'the soldiers farewell From: Jim Dixon Date: 13 May 10 - 09:48 AM I'd love to help, but I don't have the recording. It seems there are several different songs called SOLDIER'S FAREWELL. Any idea where Dessie O'Halloran got his? I searched with Google using several phrases from the lyrics that have been posted so far, and came up with nothing. The Bodleian Library has these, but I suspect none of them is the right song: THE SOLDIER'S FAREWELL, OR, HEAVEN DEFEND THE RIGHT ("Farewell, farewell, old England ...") THE SOLDIER'S FAREWELL ON GOING TO THE WAR ("Farewell, farewell, old England! ...") THE SOLDIER'S FAREWELL TO MANCHESTER ("In coming down to Manchester to gain my liberty ...") THE ASHANTEE WAR; OR, SOLDIER'S FAREWELL ("Oh sister I must soon be going ...") |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Soldier's Farewell (Dessie O'Halloran From: GUEST,Máire Date: 13 Jan 24 - 06:41 PM I was sitting side by side With my fond and loving bride As a soldier who has just returned from war I've been away for years From my native land so dear Fighting for my king and country's cause But now I have returned My native land to mourn I and my loving wife dying in my arms I pressed her to my heart Knowing soon that we must part And these of the loving words he said Darling live till morn Let me see the daybreak Dawn Let me gaze upon your beauty once again I wished that I was slain When to Ireland first I came To meet with you and part so soon again Our hands they were entwined I was thinking all the time When to the church I took you for my bride You vowed you'd never part With your fond and loving heart Till death alone would take you from my side Darling live till morn Let me see the day break Dawn Let me gaze upon your beauty once again I wished that I was slain When to Ireland first I came To meet with you and part so soon again As a soldier I must go Oh to fight a foreign foe Cross the stormy ocean wild and wide In my eyes there stood a tear One of sadness not of fear My darling wife died in my arms that night Darling live till morn Let me see the daybreak Dawn Let me gaze upon your beauty once again I wished that I was slain When to Ireland first I came To meet with you and part so soon again |
