03 Dec 00 - 08:38 AM (#350647) Subject: Cowboi (Fernhill) From: GUEST,Matthias & Christa Klose Hi Folkfriends, I'm searching the lyrics of the celtic song "Cowboi". Sang by Julie Murphy on the CD "Women of the World Celtic II" (Sampler from Putumayo 1997). The chorus starts like: "tanh tanh tanh ..." ;-) Who can help me with the lyrics?

04 Dec 00 - 05:26 AM (#350982) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cowboi From: sian, west wales It's a translation of the Welsh, "Mae gen i fuwch wynebwen llwyd". I'm not sure that the title isn't something like Ton Ton Ton. I have it in Welsh, but I know that Julie, who I think is originally from Romsford, does some songs in translation. I can't quite figure how the words above fit the tune but perhaps it's been adapted somehow ... sian |

I combined the two threads. -Joe Offer- |
