I am searching for songs for myself and others to use for a Zoom Samhain/All Souls/Halloween theme singing session. We want to stick to traditional songs. Lessor know songs would be fun to find. But I am open to suggestions and leads. Much thanks. I look forward to getting some ideas. Rose |

The Suffolk Miracle / Holland Handerchief is a good one. Also some of the night-visiting songs where the visiting lover turns out to be dead, and the ballad Sweet William's Ghost |

22 Oct 20 - 01:49 AM (#4076406) Subject: RE: Ballads & folk songs w/ haunting theme. From: GUEST,henryp Mainly Norfolk; Finest Kind sang Bay of Biscay on their 2010 album For Honour & for Gain. They noted: Ian [Robb] first heard this beautiful Irish supernatural night visiting song at the St Albans Folk Club in 1969, sung by Tim Hart and Maddy Prior. Tim and Maddy apparently had it from Geoff Woods, who collected it from James McKinley of Tranarossen, Donegal. “Oh Willy dear, where are those blushes, Those blushes I knew long years ago?” “Oh Mary dear, the cold clay has them I am only the ghost of your Willy-o.” “Oh Mary dear, the dawn is coming. Don't you think it is time for me to go? I am leaving you quite broken-hearted For to cross the Bay of Biscay-o.” |
