I have set the lyrics to a variant of the Irish tune, "The Star of the County Down". the first verse starts, "My heart is sore, I dare not tell My heart is sore for Somebody. I would walk the winter's night All for the sight of Somebody". by the way....great cd. i recommend it. ~deborah

I've created a separate thread here with the words. I think I'll learn it, too- I didn't know about the Bonnie Prince Charlie connection but I like it even better now I do know. Allison |

01 Aug 99 - 10:23 AM (#101265) Subject: RE: Connie Dover From: Tony Burns From a couple of Gaelic-English sites (not the same but a close spelling) ochòin! interj. expressing sorrow; accented on second syllable ochòin alas, Irish och ón; literally "alas this"! From och and the old pronoun ón, discussed under eadhon. I found these by starting at http://www.ceantar.org/Dicts/index.html |
