FAREWELL TO TARWATHIE (Fareweel Tae Tarwathie, Roud number 2562), words written by George Scroggie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, around 1850. The piece is part of the collection The Peasant's Lyre. Our ship she is rigged and ready to sail, Our crew they are anxious to follow the whale. Where the icebergs float, and the stormy winds blow; Where the land and the ocean is covered with snow. The cold clime of Greenland Is barren and bare; No seed time nor harvest is ever known there. The birds here sing sweetly on mountain and dale; But the songsters are mute in the land of the whale.

Taxman, written by George Harrison, was the first track on the Beatles' LP, Revolver, released on 5 August 1966. “‘Taxman’ was when I first realised that even though we had started earning money, we were actually giving most of it away in taxes,” Harrison wrote in his autobiography I, Me, Mine. He was outspoken in his opposition to the government using their income to help fund the manufacture of military weapons. |

Subject: RE: Any January Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 22 Jan 24 - 11:21 AM 22 January On this day in 1944, the Allied army landing began at Anzio, Italy. D-Day Dodgers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE5Cgvc3JqU Ian Campbell Folk Group Wikipedia; The song was written in November 1944 by Lance-Sergeant Harry Pynn of the Tank Rescue Section, 19 Army Fire Brigade, who was with the 78th Infantry Division just south of Bologna, Italy. There were many variations, but the song generally and sarcastically referred to how easy their life in Italy was. Although Hamish Henderson did not write the song, he did collect different versions of it and it is attributed to him in the sleeve notes of the Ian Campbell Folk Group's "Contemporary Campbells". Many different variations have been recorded. We're the D-Day Dodgers out in Italy Always on the vino, always on the spree. Eighth Army scroungers and their tanks We live in Rome – among the Yanks. We are the D-Day Dodgers, over here in Italy. The Volturno and Cassino were taken in our stride. We didn't have to fight there. We just went for the ride. Anzio and Sangro were all forlorn. We did not do a thing from dusk to dawn. For we are the D-Day Dodgers, over here in Italy.

LOVE TO BE WITH YOU by Andy Irvine We pulled up our anchor and set sail in sweet November The day was fine, the sun did shine Such moments I remember Your face so sad and lonely, fading from my view But some small part of me remains with you Sometimes I feel I must fly away Sometimes I feel goodbye’s a word I just can’t say Bud I’d love to be with you I’d love to be with you Outside the blizzard raging cares not for our distress The bitter taste of failure so nearly sweet success Brave enough we wer? alas, to no avail Such stories we could tell you Had w? lived to tell the tale https://genius.com/Andy-irvine-love-to-be-with-you-lyrics Love to be with you Link to Henryp’s Mudcat post above 'TIS A STORY THAT WILL LIVE FOREVER (ROBERT FALCON SCOTT MEMORIAL SONG ) |
