14 Mar 08 - 02:12 AM (#2288024) Subject: Lyr Req: Emigrant(s) by the Fureys From: Chris Coville Hi Folks! Does anybody know where to find the lyrics of the song "Emigrant(s)"? Eddie Furey sang it accompanied by his brothers and Davey Arthur in the late 70's at the WDR Folk Fest in Cologne, Germany. Thanks in advance! |

16 Mar 08 - 01:55 PM (#2289847) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Emigrant(s) by the Fureys From: Jim Dixon According to Allmusic.com, Davey Arthur wrote a song called THE EMIGRANT. It is on the album by "Davey Arthur & Co." called "Celtic Side Saddle," 1994. The brief sound sample provided at Allmusic contains no lyrics, only synthesizer music. Is this the right song? |

This is probably the song. I found a Gaelic version on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt217pcSD5c) sung by Davey but am still searching for the English words to it. |

04 May 13 - 09:14 AM (#3511558) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Emigrant(s) by the Fureys From: Jim Dixon THE EMIGRANT, performed by Davey Arthur & Co., on "Celtic Side Saddle" can be heard on Spotify. All the words I heard sounded like Gaelic to me, therefore I can't transcribe them. (I did, however, recognize the phrase "asthore machree"—however you spell that—familiar only because it appears in so many Irish songs.) Do we know for certain that it has English words? |

05 May 13 - 08:20 AM (#3511790) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Emigrant(s) by the Fureys From: Wolfgang It has English words and it is the next one on my "attempt to transcribe" list. It will not be easy but a search with some easier to understand phrases brought up nothing in the web. Look here in about two weeks. You'll either find a decent transcription with some mistakes left or a text fragment full of gaps. Wolfgang |

06 May 13 - 04:29 AM (#3512023) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Emigrant(s) by the Fureys From: GUEST,kenny Unsurprisingly, it's on the LP record titled "The Emigrant" which I've been "digitising". I'll post you the lyrics later today. Would it not be on the Fureys website ? |

06 May 13 - 11:49 AM (#3512131) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Emigrant(s) by the Fureys From: GUEST,kenny Very difficult to make out some of the lyrics, but maybe someone else can fill in the gaps. The tune is traditional - I'm sure I've heard the late Michael O'Dhomhnaill [RIP] sing a song in Gaelic to the same melody, either with the "Bothy Band" or when he was in a duo with Kevin Burke. I'll try to track that down. The Polydor record label credits words to "E,Furey, D.Arthur". "Emigrant" "When sweet [ days ? ] they do arise And you hear that sounds of butterflies Or the spirit of some [ crimson ?] rose Or the echo of that [ sea sand shore ? ] It is the hour I leave this place Made fair by you and you alone So here's Godspeed one last embrace Way down below them stepping stones. And in that stream long leaf flowers weep Way down below that [ ??? ] strand Like between a rainbow and the sun My boat sets seaward from the land And love may come and love may go Just like that bird from tree to tree But when she sleeps, her heart I know Will wander with me on the sea" |

07 May 13 - 05:02 PM (#3512734) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Emigrant(s) by the Fureys From: GUEST,Wolfgang How much more easy it is to listen to an already transcribed song than to do the transcription from scratch. Thanks, Kenny. I have that song on tape and don't know from where I copied it. I also hear "days", "crimson", and "sea sand shore". ??? could be "golden" but that's more a guess from the possible sense than from what I actually hear. What I hear might just as well be "goddamned". Three words I hear very slightly different. I have them in boldface below: When sweet days they do arise And you hear the sounds of butterflies Or the spirit of some crimson rose Or the echo of that sea sand shore It is the hour I leave this place Made fair by you but you alone So here's Godspeed one last embrace Way down below them stepping stones. And in that stream long leaf flowers weep Way down beyond that golden(?) strand Like between a rainbow and the sun My boat sets seaward from the land And love may come and love may go Just like that bird from tree to tree But when she sleeps, her heart I know Will wander with me on the sea.

What we hear different is written in capitals. Thanks a million! When sweet AIRS they do arise And you hear the sounds of butterflies Or the spirit of some crimson rose Or the echo of that sea sand shore It is the hour I leave this place Made fair by you but you alone So here's Godspeed one last embrace Way down below them stepping stones And in THE stream long leaf flowers weep Way down beyond ONE TRODDEN strand Like between THE rainbow and the sun My boat sets seaward from the land And love may come and love may go Just like that bird from tree to tree But when she sleeps OUR heart I know Will wander with BEYOND the sea "A stor mo chroi" is a very fine song as well, Jim ;) |
