CRY, CRY, CRY
Ever'body knows where you go when the sun goes down.
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone.
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, and you'll cry alone.
I lie awake at night to wait till you come in.
When your fickle love gets old, no one will care for you,
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, and you'll want me then. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cry, Cry, Cry From: Wolfgang Date: 01 Mar 02 - 07:13 AM Thanks for these lyrics, but they are both not the song written by Ron Kavana. Interesting how many different songs can share a title. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cry, Cry, Cry From: Amos Date: 02 Mar 02 - 04:29 PM I'm afraid you're gonna have to go commercial, Wolfgang. Here's a review of Kavana's CD on which you'll find the song: The Alias Acoustic Band - 1798-1998 Irish Songs, Tunes, Poetry and Speech of Rebellion, Resistance and Reconciliation (Alias Ron Kavana) Now, I'm sorry to say this, Ron. But when you go to the grave, people will look back over your work and dissect it. "Think Like A Hero"? "Great album. Loved it." "Coming Days". "Superb. That opening track!" "Those box-sets he compiled for Proper and Retro." "Farewell to Ireland"? "That's one of them. And the double-CD selection "The Irish Music Anthology". The one with the fish on the front." "A great job of work and a great gift to the trad community." "But what's his best bit of work?" "No contest. 1798-1998!" The two CDs - 37 tracks in all - have not left Pay The Reckoning's CD player since we obtained them a few days ago. Ron is accompanied, as ever, by a stellar crew (including many of the musicians who appeared alongside he and Terry Woods on The Bucks' "Dancin' To The Ceilidh Band" and featuring the outstanding bodhraní, Gino Lupari). However, since he's used the rare nom-de-plume, the Alias Acoustic Band, it's as if Ron is deliberately covering his tracks. With little reason. The band don't go for the blood-curdling, straight-time approach adopted by "rebel bands". Instead the majority of tracks find the lads and lasses in contemplative form, dwelling on the poetry, beauty and tragedy of many of Ireland's rebel songs. There are few tub-thumpers here. The selections comprise songs which, on the whole, illustrate something of the troubled history of Ireland ... rather than those which exist merely to re-fuel the fires of bitterness in those whose flames are already well-stoked. A look at the track listing indicates the sweep of Kavana's unerring musical radar - well-known songs such as "Boolavogue" and "Roddy McCorley" sit alongside lesser-known songs such as "Erin's Lovely Lee" and self-penned originals such as "Reconciliation" and "Cry, Cry, Cry". Pay The Reckoning was amazed at Kavana's voice on this album. On "Erin's Lovely Lee" his voice echoes that of Willie Clancy who cut a definitive version of this song way back in the mists of time. ... Regards, Amos |
Subject: Lyr Add: CRY, CRY, CRY ("Deadric Malone") From: Rolfyboy6 Date: 02 Mar 02 - 06:19 PM Just for the heck of it and because it's a classic: Cry, Cry, Cry by Deadric Malone (name of convenience for Don Robey, Duke-Peacock label owner, for a 'bought' or flat-out appropriated song) from The Best Of Bobby "Blue" Bland (MCA 31219), copyright notice

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cry, Cry, Cry From: SINSULL Date: 02 Mar 02 - 10:04 PM Vague memories of something from the fifties: "Her name was Susanne His name was Earl. His love was Lorraine. She's a wonderful girl But they must cry, cry, cry whoawhoawhoa Their blues away..." Bet that's not what you are looking for.
That's an excerpt from 'My True Story' recorded by The Jive Five in 1961, and later by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. --JoeClone. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cry, Cry, Cry From: Jim Dixon Date: 04 Mar 02 - 09:24 AM Ron Kavana's song "Cry, Cry, Cry" appears on the double-CD "Irish Songs of Rebellion" (1999) by the Alias Acoustic Band (which is apparently another name for Kavana's band "Alias Ron Kavana"). It is described in Amos' post above. CDNOW is offering this set for $6.49! They also have a sound sample, from which I transcribed the following words:
"… cryin' won't change a blessed thing. There's no use in cryin'. By the way, AMG lists 103 recordings of something called "Cry, Cry, Cry," but these are actually many different songs. Different songs by that name have been recorded by Johnny Cash, Highway One O One, Ritchie Valens, Bobby Blue Bland, Steve Miller, and Neil Young, among many others. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cry, Cry, Cry From: GUEST Date: 30 May 15 - 01:16 PM On the road from Bandon to Macroom, I stopped at Beal na mBlath, Where that black day in '22, They shot Mick Collins down, For freedom, to achieve greater freedom, His hopes that might have been, If the Big Fella had only lived, To realise his dream. As I walked up past Kilmainham Jail, And I thought of what went down, When they tied James Connolly to a chair, Shot a dying man to the ground, It's where they tortured Robert Emmet, Wolfe Tone took his last breath, CHORUS: You could cry, cry, cry, Cry a sea of tears, Cry, cry, cry, for eight hundred years, You could cry till your eyes go dry, Cry till you go blind, But crying won't change a blessed thing, There's no use in cry... We're an awful lot for crying, Over things that are long gone, Forget about "Tiochfaidh ar la", Our day is here and now, We must face it with bold courage, No uncertainty or fear, Take our place among the nations, Let our martyrs rest in peace. :) |

Subject: ADD: Cry, Cry, Cry (Ron Kavana) From: Joe Offer Date: 30 May 15 - 03:31 PM I listened to the YouTube Recording that # found, and here's my transcription. It's just a bit different from the post just above (May 30). It's well worth your while to watch the video. CRY, CRY, CRY (Ron Kavana) On the road from Bandon to Macroom, I stopped at Beal na mBlath, Where that black day in '22, They cut Mick Collins down, For freedom, to achieve greater freedom, His hopes that might have been, If the Big Fella had only lived, To realise his dream. CHORUS: You could cry, cry, cry a sea of tears, Cry, cry, cry, for eight hundred years, You could cry till your eyes go dry, Cry till you go blind, But crying won't change a blessed thing, There's no use in cry... As I walked up past Kilmainham Jail, And I thought of what went down, When they tied James Connolly to a chair, Shot that dying man to the ground, It's where they tortured Robert Emmet, Where Wolfe Tone took his last breath, Joe Plunkett, he was married there, And at the same hour put to death. We're an awful lot for crying, Over things that are long gone, Forget about "Tiochfaidh ar la", Our day is here and now, We must embrace it with bold courage, Show no uncertainty or fear, Take our place among the nations, Let our martyrs rest in peace. |
