02 May 99 - 06:21 AM (#75071) Subject: ADD: Bantry Bay From: Brakn BANTRY BAY As I'm sitting all alone in the gloaming It might have been but yesterday That we watched the fisher sails all homing Till the little herring fleet at anchor lay Then the fisher girls with baskets swinging Come running down the old stone way Every lass to her sailor lad was singing A welcome back to Bantry Bay Then we heard the piper's sweet note tuning And all the lassies turned to hear As they mingled with a soft voice crooning Till the music floated down the wooden pier "Save you kindly colleens all" said the piper "Hands across and trip it while I play" And a tender sound of a song and merry dancing Stole softly over Bantry Bay As I'm sitting all alone in the gloaming The shadows of the past draw near And I see the loving faces around me That used to glad the old brown pier Some are gone up on their last lov'd homing Some are left, but they are old and grey And we're waiting for the tide in the gloaming To sail up on the Great High-way To the land of rest unending All peaceful from Bantry Bay Regards Mick Bracken |

That explains the double/triple post (put that way because the third one is altered a bit--not altered like my dogs, who are missing parts, but with something added).

02 May 99 - 07:56 PM (#75152) Subject: RE: L(.)(.)king 4 Bantry Bay lyrics From: bseed(charleskratz) Whoa! I just realize who I remind me of: THere's a joke about a psychologist administering a Rohrshach test to a new client. He gives him the first inkblot and asks, "What do you see?" "Them's a woman's titties!" The shrink hands him another inkblot. "What do you see here?" "That's a woman lookin' in a mirror--at her c--t!" "And here?" "That's two women looking at each other and playin' with themsel's." After the client had described similar images in the next seven inkblots, the psychologist said in wonder, "I've never tested anyone as totally preoccupied with sex as you are." "Me!" the patient shouted. "You're the one with all the dirty pictures." --seed |

25 Mar 00 - 04:53 PM (#201363) Subject: RE: L(.)(.)king 4 Bantry Bay lyrics From: Joe Offer Mick (or somebody) - is there any background information on this song, like who wrote it and when? SingsIrish says it was J.C. Molloy, but I'm wondering if it could be J.L. Molloy, who wrote "Darby and Joan" and "Love's Old Sweet Song" toward the end of the 19th Century. Peter T, a usually reliable source (?), says this was recorded by the Irish Tenors. -Joe Offer- |

25 Mar 00 - 05:13 PM (#201372) Subject: RE: L(.)(.)king 4 Bantry Bay lyrics From: Dale Rose Actually, it is J L (James) Molloy who wrote Love's Old Sweet Song, etc. Since he also wrote Kerry Dance, it is a possibility, given the similar material. Just this minute looked at the John McCormack site, found this: Bantry Bay (Traditional/Old Irish Air, arranged by James L. Molloy) |
