15 Nov 07 - 09:52 AM (#2194360) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: leaving tipperary/goodbye pat From: Severn Pat White's 78 Rpm version is the leadoff cut on the 4CD boxed set "Farewell To Ireland" on the UK Proper label(Properbox 3), an anthology of music recorded in America by Irish Immigrants in the 20's and 30's. Daedalus Books is a place you could order it from in the USA. I've seen it offered anywhere from $14.98 to $19.98 by them. A great deal at the price. |

15 Nov 07 - 09:57 AM (#2194365) Subject: Lyr Add: GOODBYE MICK From: bfdk This one? Goodbye Mick (Trad) The ship it sails in half an hour to cross the broad Atlantic. My friends are standing on the quay with grief and sorrow frantic. I'm just about to sail away in the good ship Dan O'Leary. The anchor's weighed and the gangway's up. I'm leaving Tipperary. CHORUS: And it's goodbye, Mick, and goodbye, Pat, and goodbye, Kate and Mary. The anchor's weighed and the gangway's up. I'm leaving Tipperary. And now the steam is blowing off. I have no more to say. I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away. In my portmanteau here I have some cabbage, beans and bacon. And if you think I can't eat that, well, there's where yer mistaken. For this ship will play with pitch and toss for half a dozen farthings. I'll roll me bundle on me back and walk to Castle Gardens. CHORUS Now I won't come that Yankee chat, I guess I'm calculatin'. Come liquor up, old sonny boy, when an old friend I am treatin'. I'm deep in love with Molly Burke like an ass is fond of clover. I'll send for her when I get there; that’s if she will come over. CHORUS Then fare thee well, old Erin dear. To part, me heart does ache well. From Carrickfergus to Cape Clear, I'll never see your equal, Although to foreign parts we're boundm where cannibals may eat usm We'll ne'er forget the Holy Ground of poteen and potatoes. CHORUS When good St Paddy banished snakes, he shook them from his garment. He never thought we'd go abroad to look upon such varmint, Nor quit this land where whiskey grew to wear the Yankee button, Take vinegar for mountain dew and toads for mountain mutton. CHORUS |

15 Nov 07 - 10:56 AM (#2194445) Subject: Lyr Add: I'M LEAVING TIPPERARY (from Frank White) From: Severn The Frank White version has some differences in words and verse configurations: I'm Leaving Tipperary The ship will sail in half an hour to cross the broad Atlantic. Me friends are standin' on the pier with grief and sorrow frantic. Me trunks are stored away below in the great ship Dan O'Leary. The anchor's weighed, the gangplank's up, I'm leaving Tipperary. CHORUS: Goodbye Mike, goodbye Pat, goodbye Kate and Mary. The anchor's weighed, the gangplank's up, I'm leavin’ Tipperary. There's the steamer blazin' up. I can no longer stay, For I'm bound for New York City, boys, three thousand miles away. Give my respects to Mr. Mack and likewise Kitty Hagen, And I'll come back to the christenin' when she marries Patsy Fagan. I'm as deep in love with Molly Burke as a jackass is in clover, And when I'm settled in, she'll come, I'll pay her passage over. CHORUS I'm goin' on the police force in the City of New York. I suppose I'll meet a lot of men that came from County Cork. I'll show them when I get there, if I see they are contrary, How an Irishman can throw a stone that comes from Tipperary. CHORUS .... I guess the moral of it all in this version is "Beware of Policemen Throwing Stones!" No information on the authorship or publishing, just that White was a vaudeville entertainer in his seventies when he released the song in the '30s. |

15 Nov 07 - 02:59 PM (#2194638) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: leaving tipperary/goodbye pat From: OldPossum It was recorded by the Irish group De Danann on the LP called The Star Spangled Molly, the label is Ogham records and the number is BLB 5006. The record does not state any writer's name, but simply says "Copyright control", whatever that means. The sleeve notes indicate that they got the song from Larry Griffin and the Shamrock Band. |

15 Nov 07 - 03:01 PM (#2194640) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: leaving tipperary/goodbye pat From: Emma B I've heard the recorded version that Severn refers to earlier Joe Pat White (recorded 1928) Taken from the album "Stranded in the USA - Early Songs of Emigration" Trikont US 0326 Wiki attributes the song "Tipperary" to J. Fred Helf. I don't know if this is the same song but the date, 1907, would be about right |

15 Nov 07 - 03:30 PM (#2194672) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: leaving tipperary/goodbye pat From: bfdk The first 3 verses of the version I posted correspond by and large to the version on this CD by Danish group Paddy Doyles which is the only version I've heard. They list it as Traditional. Best wishes, Bente |
