16 May 00 - 02:04 PM (#228882) Subject: RE: The Lorry Ride From: Allan C. Eric, you did beautifully! You put the name of the song you were looking for in the thread title. You stated the name of the song within the thread. And you even told us where you had heard it. I only wish I knew the song so that I could post the lyrics for you. Anyway, GOOD JOB! |

16 May 00 - 05:56 PM (#229025) Subject: RE: The Lorry Ride From: GUEST,Aoife I LOVE THAT SONG, Eric. What an incredible album. I don't know if you have the lyrics, because I have them if needed, and I too was also interested in the origins. Kate Rusby has a web site on which she can recieve email. I am not sure of the exact address, but I stumbled upon it one day and I'm sure if you typed it in on GOTo or something, it would come up. Also, if you are a fan of Kate's material, get her other CD's if you don't already have them. Kathryn Roberts is part of a hot young band called "Equation." They too are incredible. Good luck with what you are looking for! Cheers, Aoife |

16 May 00 - 06:11 PM (#229029) Subject: RE: The Lorry Ride From: Tim Salt Welcome Eric. I first heard this performed by Steve Turner in the mid 80's and thought it was a brilliant song then as I do now. I didn't know that Kate Rusby had also recorded it. The version I have is by Steve Turner on a 1986 LP called "Braiding". In the sleeve notes he says "The Lorry Ride has been one of my favourite songs over the past year and is one of many fine works by Liza Tubb of Buxton in Derbyshire. The tune is the Irish "Casadh An Tsugain". The song was inspired by a newspaper cutting". So there you go........ Tim

It's about a girl who's love has left to work in a foreign land. She's waiting for him to return with the other workers, but has heard many stories about accidents and disease. Any help would be much appreciated. Jenn |

Lorry is a English word which means truck or bus, I think. I have this song on a old English record. I don't remember if I've ever transcribed it. I'll look it up when I get home tonight. regards, radriano

18 Jan 22 - 04:52 AM (#4132756) Subject: RE: Origins: The Lorry Ride (Liza Tubb) from Rusby From: DaveRo I know this song from Steve Turner's LP 'Braiding' - which is an all-round gem of a record - accompanied by his inimitable bass(?) english concertina. Steve appears not to have re-recorded it on any of his CDs. There's a club performance of him playing The Lorry Ride on YouTube. |
