Subject: looking for 'The Prince Of Wales' lyrics From: GUEST Date: 29 Dec 00 - 04:59 AM Hello everybody, I'm looking for lyrics of song "The Prince of Wales" performed by Beltain. I couldn't find it throughout Internet, so now I'm asking for your help in my search. Thanks, kai (kai@ngu.ru) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: looking for 'The Prince Of Wales' ly From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 29 Dec 00 - 02:26 PM I hadn't heard of Beltain, but I see that they're widely advertised on mp3.com. They describe the song as a shanty, but a lot of people misunderstand the meaning of that word and think that it just means any song about the sea, so have a quick look at two versions of "High Barbary" which are in the database here, and see if they are anything like the song you're looking for. They both involve a ship called "The Prince of Wales", so it's worth checking, if only to eliminate them from enquiries. High Barbaree

Subject: Lyr Add: THE PRINCE OF WALES From: Zebedee Date: 29 Dec 00 - 07:24 PM I've transcribed this by ear from the sound file on the Beltain page on mp3.com here so there may be a couple of mistakes. The band sound well worth a listen. Ed THE PRINCE OF WALES I was 17 years in 1810 We set sail from Eastern Maine Oh, oh the folly-o So they bound us young and old Well I resolved to bide my time Oh, oh the folly-o So with one great mighty kick There are many men below the sound Oh, oh the folly-o |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: looking for 'The Prince Of Wales' ly From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 29 Dec 00 - 08:56 PM Good work, Ed. Not at all the song I was guessing at -largely, I fear, because I wouldn't give mp3.com an email address so I could listen to the recording. As I suspected, though, certainly not a shanty. Do they name a source? On the face of it, it reads like a quite modern composition. Malcolm |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: looking for 'The Prince Of Wales' ly From: Zebedee Date: 30 Dec 00 - 10:59 AM Malcolm, They don't give the source, nor any further information. I expect your right in thinking it to be a modern song. You don't have to give a real email address to such sites. I always make one up. As long as there's an '@' and a 'dot' in appropriate places it will be accepted. Ed |
