Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Isle of Innisfree From: GUEST,Jake Date: 07 Mar 10 - 05:14 PM I saw this on another "Innisfree" thread - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Innisfree The above is wonderful and has cleared up so much for me on a song I have loved and sang all my life. I never knew Dick Farrelly was such a prolific songwriter. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'The Ferryman' and 'Isle of Innisfree' From: Ruth Archer Date: 09 Nov 06 - 09:00 AM It's definitely "Where the Strawberry Beds sweep down to the Liffey"; Strawberry Beds is a place in Dublin. And I believe the last line is "That river never stole my heart and soul." And..."But now I'll tell me yarns, and i'll spend me days in talkin', and I'll hear them whisper Charlie's on the dole..." |
Subject: Lyr Add: LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE (W B Yeats) From: GUEST Date: 09 Nov 06 - 07:44 AM I don't know if either of these will help, the first is a poem but Cathy Ryan sings it. For the second, the version that I have is by Oisin. Lake Isle of Inisfree W B Yeats I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. 2. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings. 3. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core. Inisfree Come all ye lads and lassies, I hope you will attend, And likewise pay attention to these words that I mean to pen, I'm going to leave this country, go to a land that's free, And I'll bid farewell to all my friends around by Inisfree. When she rises in the morning, she walks along the shore, And watches the big ship sailing by, that brought her lover o'er. She watches the foaming billows, as they roll along the sea, And she sighs and says, "my Jimmy boy, you're far from Inisfree." It's true that I love you Mary, I ne'er could love you more, Oh! I love you far better, than any I've loved before, And when I am on the ocean wide, neither hill nor vale to see, I'll be thinking of you Mary, and far from Inisfree, Farewell to all the bounding ? and ? around Aranmore, And twice farewell to you Mary, will I ever see you more? Perhaps someday we may meet again, all in a land that's free, And we'll live and love each other, as we did in Inisfree |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'The Ferryman' and 'Isle of Innisfree' From: GUEST,Ireth Date: 08 Nov 06 - 02:27 PM Hey ppl I've been reading the lyrics you've posted and none of them goes with my version. I have the CD The World of Celtic Music - Celtic Pride and the 2nd song is called The Isle of Innisfree, but none of the lyrics I found doesn't match. Does somebody know how these lyrics go??? |
Subject: RE: The Ferryman needing lyrics. From: GUEST,Anna Date: 05 Jan 05 - 10:55 AM Hey, I do only know the Ferryman lyrics as "strawberry BEDS sweep down to the Liffey" as sung e.g. by the Dublin City Ramblers. But they might as well exist in many versions. Take care anna |
Subject: RE: The Ferryman needing lyrics. From: Brack& Date: 24 Jul 98 - 04:00 AM Skarpi, I'd look at the other version for the words, they're just about right. Rick, from what version did you get those from? |
Subject: Lyr Add: THE FERRYMAN (Pete St John) From: O'Boyle Date: 24 Jul 98 - 02:51 AM If you don't feel like loking for the ferrymen, here it is. I sing "Harry's om the dole" because a freind of mine, Harry, always requested it and seemingly was always on the dole. I don't remember the original name in the song. Slainte Rick
The Ferrymen And the strawberry mists sweep down to the Liffey
It was the only job I knew. It was hard but never lonely And the strawberry mists sweep down to the Liffey
And now I'll tend my yard, and I'll spend my days a talkin' And the strawberry mists sweep down to the Liffey |
Subject: Lyr Add: ISLE OF INNISFREE (Richard Farrelly) From: alison Date: 23 Jul 98 - 09:15 PM Hi, Here's the Isle of Innisfree. There was a discussion here on the Ferryman a while back, if you do a filter search you should find it.
ISLE OF INNISFREE
And when the moonlight peeps across the roof-tops
I wander o'er green hills thro' dreamy valleys
And then into a humble shack I wander
But dreams don't last tho' dreams are not forgotten Slainte Alison |
