Subject: RE: Lyr Req: She Moved Through the Faire parody-d From: Declan Date: 03 Sep 06 - 04:28 AM Isaac, If you click on the third link under Related Threads at the top of this thread you will find a discussion on the origins of the song, the gist of which is that Padraic Colum rewrote an old folk song as a poem. Many poets have done this over the years. Another example is W. B. Yeats "Down by the Sally Gardens". You will find a lot of information (some more accurate than others) by following the above links. Be aware that due to a problem that happened here a few years ago, the earlier posts appear out of sequence, so the first post you read may not be the oldest one. Its confusing until you realise this. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: She Moved Through the Faire parody-d From: Murray MacLeod Date: 03 Jan 01 - 01:24 AM I believe Adam McNaughtan may have written a parody of this song called "She Fell through the Flair" (Flair =floor) for non-Glaswegians. Or he may just have composed a fragment. Murray |
Subject: She Moved Through the Faire parody-drunk From: GUEST,kevin-a-murphy@dm.net Date: 03 Jan 01 - 01:05 AM I was just at a party where a friend sang a fragment of a "She Moved Through the Faire" parody, which was something to the effect of "she lurched through the faire" and her being from a family of drunkards who sang "it will not be long till the pubs open again..." There was also a good lyric about "Like the swan in the evening/she fell into the lake." Anyone know this version? Kevin
