31 Mar 01 - 02:13 AM (#429835) Subject: Another title request: About Donegal From: luigib Last September I heard a beautiful Irish folk ballad in a small club in Donegal Town. The chorus goes something like this: "Somewhere in Chicago, where the shadows hit the walls, There's a man who is dreaming of the hills of Donegal." If anyone knows this haunting piece, please let me know!! Thanks, Luigib |

In the city of Chicago, as the evening shadows fall There are people dreaming of the hills of Donegal. Some of them knew fortune, some of them knew fame... thank you! |

I believe the record was made by Sorcha, two minutes for a reply including a clickable link. Jeri and Pene made that mark, too, and I believe somebody may have done it once in a minute. They make me feel old - my best time is three minutes. -Joe Offer- |

I only know it from a friends performance of it and have never heard anyone else do it. Of course that's just me. And then I can't stand The Voyage or The Old Man either. Don |

27 Oct 20 - 12:07 PM (#4077015) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: City of Chicago (Barry Moore/Luka Bloom) From: GUEST,Jerry Try one of Christie Moore’s recordings (I think there is more than one), probably accessible on Spotify and or Youtube. |
