27 Oct 99 - 12:33 PM (#128622) Subject: Dingle Bay From: Nick Shortland A friend of mine is looking for the lyrics of an old Irish folk song called Dingle Bay. I rashly stated that it was possible to find anything on the Web!!! Don't let me down, come up with the lyrics .... thanks. |
27 Oct 99 - 03:35 PM (#128697) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Bay From: Mían So far I have only found 2 references to the song "Dingle Bay": one is an artist named Connie Foley, the album being "3 Leaf Shamrock" and the other is the group The Irish Weavers, on an album (cassette) called "Britches Full of Stitches" and featuring Eileen Kennedy. I am still searching. Mían |
27 Oct 99 - 04:02 PM (#128707) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Bay From: Mían Still looking. I found that a song, "Dingle Bay" is on two CDs by the Wolf Tones: "Spirit of the Nation" and "25th Anniversary", both published by Shanachie. Hopefully some of these references will lead to lyrics and tune... |

The woman is never satisfied! :-) Apparently the version of Dingle Bay supplied by Stewie is not the one she wanted. Can somebody come up with another version? Mian, the version you mentioned by Eileen Kennedy may be THE ONE. Have you the words? |
24 Aug 06 - 01:23 PM (#1818010) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Bay From: GUEST,Don Meade DINGLE BAY as sung by Mary Courtney of Dingle, now living in NYC: The sun was sinking oer the westward The fleet is leaving Dingle shore I watch the men row in their curraghs As they mark the fishing grounds near Scellig Mor All through the night men toil until the daybreak while at home their wives and sweethearts kneel and pray That God might guard them and protect them and bring them safely back to Dingle Bay I see the green Isle of Valencia I mind the days around Lough Lein The gannets swinging with abandon As they watch the silver store that comes their way I also see a ship on the horizon She is sailing to a country far away on board are exiles feeling lonely As they wave a fond farewell to Dingle Bay Now years have passed as I came homeward And time has left me old and grey I sit and muse about my childhood And the happy times I spent near Dingle Bay I see again the green isle of Valencia And the Isle of Inishmore seems far away And I'm always dreaming of my childhood And the happy days I spent near Dingle Bay |
24 Aug 06 - 01:40 PM (#1818021) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dingle Bay From: Declan There is also a song known as the Dingle Bay boat song, which is a thinly disguised version of the Mingulay Boat song. This was recorded and released in Ireland, in the 70s I think. Not sure who by (or why they bothered changing the words). |
