Subject: RE: Songs About Death From: GUEST, GEST Date: 20 May 03 - 08:56 PM Sorry, Gareth, no chance out of me. Maybe George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca can lend a hand on your request since the Sharecroppers wrote the song about a Nova Scotia mine disaster and he's usually right on top of Nova Scotia music. George? |

Subject: RE: Songs About Death From: greg stephens Date: 21 May 03 - 06:13 AM Well, this is a bit too unspecific to win any prizes, but it is as comprehensive as you can get. The song title is "A Death Song" (appropriate huh??), words by William Morris, music Malcolm Lawson. Written to commemorate the killing of Alfred Linnell by the police at a demonstration in 1887. The song sheet was sold to raise money for his family. And the relevant bit is the chorus: Not one, not one Nor thousands must they slay But one and all If they would dusk the day |
