24 Nov 00 - 11:33 AM (#346086) Subject: foggy dew From: GUEST,Sean Mac Ruaraidh Hi, Which version of Foggy Dew is the one which was used to generate the rebellion version - "As down the road one Easter morn to a Ciy fair road I" I ask because I really like the tune but can't risk singing the republican lyrics in this neck of the woods. So I want to put the original words back in - but which set is the correct set - there are about 7 versions listed in the database. Cheers, Sean. |

24 Nov 00 - 08:17 PM (#346302) Subject: RE: Help: foggy dew From: cujimmy Why can't you sing the proper version, I understand that there are biggoted people, not just in Ulster but in many parts of Scotland, some parts of England - but I bet parts of U.S.A. Canada, Australia etc as well. I think it is important that people should know this so they can show solidarity with you |

24 Nov 00 - 08:38 PM (#346317) Subject: RE: Help: foggy dew From: Alice Guest Sean, the lyrics that Wolfgang linked you to are to a completely different tune than the rebel Foggy Dew. The DT had the wrong midi for it (haven't checked lately to see if it is corrected). The Contemplator site has the correct midi for Foggy Dew - A Wan Cloud Was Drawn. There are two others that are to the same tune as the rebel version. I will look them up and add links here. Alice |

24 Nov 00 - 09:47 PM (#346348) Subject: Lyr Add: IRELAND'S FOGGY DEW (Katherine Tynan,1907 From: Alice Here are other lyrics to the same version of the rebel Foggy Dew. A love song version recorded by John McCormack. click here Also sung to this tune is The Maid of Mourne Shore click here There is also Ireland's Foggy Dew, the same tune as the rebel version you refer to. Ireland's Foggy Dew by Katherine Tynan c. 1907 Oh lovely is London with gold in store But mournful I tell you true Are her streets to me, for I'm longin' sore For Ireland's foggy dew
Mavrone! I'd give all the wealth of this place If mine it were to do That I might feel upon my face Sweet Ireland's foggy dew All day from skies of blue With never a mist to dim his shine But I'd rather the foggy dew
Mavrone! I'd give all the wealth of this place If mine it were to do That I might feel upon my face Sweet Ireland's foggy dew In the meadow the hay lies new Then the sky and the corn at the dawn of day Turn yellow in the foggy dew
Mavrone! I'd give all the wealth of this place If mine it were to do That I might feel upon my face Sweet Ireland's foggy dew The one I usually sing is from the John McCormack recording at the link I gave earlier. Alice |

As down the glen one Easter morn
There was quite a discussion about this song in either September or October of this year here on the Mudcat, concerning the words " Fought with Valera true" or Fought with Cathal Bruha" |

24 Nov 00 - 10:26 PM (#346362) Subject: RE: Help: foggy dew From: greenfields Not that this helps your original query, but the rebel version is done beautifully by Sinead O'Connor on The Chieftains' CD "Long Black Veil". |

27 Nov 00 - 12:46 PM (#347068) Subject: RE: Help: foggy dew From: GUEST,Sean MacRuaraidh Thank you Alice, I was having extreme difficulty trying to get those earlier lyrics to work. I'll try the new set. The reason I can't sing the rebellion version is that it would almost certainly offend someone and I don't want to do that. Incidentally - I am an Irish person living in Wales and am looking for acceptance. Although there are a lot of people here with Irish roots there are also a lot of people with English roots or who's relations have done army service in N.Ireland. Therefore I deem it in-appropriate. Cheers, Sean |

23 Feb 01 - 09:28 AM (#404455) Subject: Lyr Add: THE FOGGY DEW From: Seany Hi, I have finally settled on a version I want to sing. I have a few queries regarding the lyrics. Can anyone shed any light on the meaning of the following lines (full lyrics at end of posting). "Sweet banners seldom ride." "Go hide your clothes ye roses red, And droop ye lilies fair" "Then spied in my arms, and all her charms," THE FOGGY DEW Oh, down the hill I went one morn, A lovely maid I spied. Her hair was bright as the dew that went, Sweet banners seldom ride. And where go ye, sweet maid, said I, And she raised her eyes of blue. And smiled and said, The boy I wed, I'm to meet in the foggy dew. Go hide your clothes ye roses red, And droop ye lilies fair. For you must pale for very shame, Before a maid so fair. Said I, Dear maid, will you be my bride, She raised her eyes of blue. And smiled and said, The boy I wed, I'm to meet in the foggy dew. Oh, down the hill I went one morn, A-singing I did go. Oh, down the hill I went one morn, She answered sweet and low. Yes, I will be your own dear bride, And I know that you'll be true. Then spied in my arms, and all her charms, Were hidden in the foggy dew. |
