02 Nov 99 - 11:52 PM (#131167) Subject: Donalogue From: rsackheim@hotmail.com I have been looking for the lyrics to this song for some time now. I have heard that its a 700-1000 year old irish folk ballad. I have had no luch and I have tryed LOTS of avenues including the LIbrary of Congress. HELP!!!! Do you have any ideas? It was recorded by Sheila Chandra within the last 10 years or so but she calls it Dhyana and Donalogue and has changed some of the lyrics and added a verse. I want so much to find the original (or what's left of it after all this time. Thanks so much for looking into this. I really do need some guidance--I am close to giving up. Thanks again, Randi |
