Subject: The Stone Outside Dan Murphy's Door From: Joan of Barc Date: 05 Sep 99 - 11:37 PM My grandfather used to sing this and other old Irish songs that I remember very fondly from my childhood. My mother was wishing she had the words to these songs, since she doesn't remember them anymore. So I'm on a memory search. If anyone can help me with this, I'd be very appreciative. I've found some of the songs I'm looking for at this site, but this one isn't here in any form that I can identify. Thanks in advance. Joan |
Subject: Lyr Add: THE STONE OUTSIDE DAN MURPHY'S DOOR From: MudGuard Date: 06 Sep 99 - 01:58 AM Here are the lyrics, I do not have chords :-( THE STONE OUTSIDE DAN MURPHY'S DOOR As recorded by The Dubliners
1. There's a sweet garden spot in our mem'ry.
CHORUS: Those days in our hearts we will cherish,
2. When our day's work was over we'd meet there
3. Back again will our thoughts often wander |

In ancient Celtic culture, people (especially the "upper crust" of tribal society) were expected to keep a bench out side their door. Such benches were often of stone, but not necessarily. People in need of hospitality and persons with a grievance against the householder would sit on the bench. Refusal to grant hospitality was considered bad form, to say the least, and to ignore an aggreived party was a serious black mark on the reputation of the householder, and almost sure to have the problem brought before the Brehons. I would imagine that many, if not most, other cultural groupings had or have traditions od similar effect. |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Stone Outside Dan Murphy' From: Joan of Barc Date: 06 Sep 99 - 11:16 AM Dear Mudguard: Thank you so very much! I never thought to have the words so quickly (the chords weren't that important, but if I could get them, we'd be that much farther ahead). My mother is in her 70's now and I know this will mean a lot to her. Thanks. Joan. |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: The Stone Outside Dan Murphy' From: Joan of Barc Date: 06 Sep 99 - 11:18 AM Dear Paddymac: Thank you for the history! Although my grandfather came with his family from Ireland as a small child, and we have many Irish stories in our families today, I hadn't heard this one. Thanks for sharing! Joan. |
