11 Jul 02 - 08:50 AM (#746421) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: MMario though it could be Goodbye, Fare ye well or many other songs. For #2 I'm betting on In Amsterdam there lived a maid...

11 Jul 02 - 01:05 PM (#746627) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: Mudlark Or maybe it's the one that starts out
So fare ye well, my own true love, fare thee well my dear |

12 Jul 02 - 10:44 AM (#747147) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: Wachara Dear friends, Many many thanks for your help. I never thought that the result would come this quick. It's the first time that I use the forum after becoming a silent admirer for a few years. So Fare Ye Well is the same one suggested by Mudlark. It was sung by the Highwaymen in the early sixties. A-rovin' was sung by the Brothers Four as With You Fair Maid. Again, many thanks for your attention. Wachara |

12 Jul 02 - 11:01 AM (#747156) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: Susan of DT The second song sounds like We'll go no more a roving with you fair maid. The search does not seem to be working ar the moment or you could just put these phrases in the blue search box |

12 Jul 02 - 11:55 AM (#747189) Subject: Lyr Add: MARY ANN (from The Spinners) From: Wolfgang MARY ANN (Trad)
Fare thee well my own true love
Oh yonder, don't you see the dove
The lobster boiling in the pot
Oh had I but a flask of gin
(as sung by The Spinners) copied and pasted from My songbook where some notes from Susanne can be found. A 'Ten thousand miles' variant it seems to be. Wolfgang |

12 Jul 02 - 12:00 PM (#747196) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: Mudlark Wolfgang....thanks for the rest of the lyrics...this song has a pretty, lilting melody and I'd forgotten all about it until this thread popped up. Also, tho all the other verses were familiar, don't think I've ever heard the lobster one. I particularly like the last verse... |

12 Jul 02 - 12:27 PM (#747213) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: Strupag Naw ! It couldn't be. The final chorus in my song "Indiana" goes: - So fare thee well now Indiana Your green land's been good to me Anyway, fare thee well the noo

12 Jul 02 - 12:32 PM (#747221) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: MMario okay - I *knew* I'd seen this before...but I couldn't find it. There are severa Canandian variants as well I believe. |

12 Jul 02 - 01:51 PM (#747261) Subject: LYR ADD: Mary Ann (see above) From: Noreen Thank you, Wolfgang, I have been looking for those words for a long time. I remember hearing the Spinners sing it at the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool when I was an impressionable teenager, and it had quite an effect on me. So, is it traditional from Nova Scotia, or music hall? (See notes at Susanne's site, link above.) Doesn't sound music hall to me. Do you want the dots, MMario? :0) |
|
12 Jul 02 - 02:01 PM (#747269) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: MMario Noreen - yes, of course I would like the dots! (it is on the missing tune list - which is why it seemed so familiar to me ) |

12 Jul 02 - 02:51 PM (#747298) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: Malcolm Douglas See also this earlier discussion, 10,000 miles song from Fly Away Home, which contains some useful references and material, and a text of the burlesque song Mary Ann. Sheet music of 1856 can be seen at The Lester Levy Sheet Music Collection: My Mary Ann. The Yankee Girls Song; "Words by Barney Williams, music by M. Tyse". Based on earlier material, of course, which turns up not just in in Nova Scotia but in other parts of Canada, the USA, Britain and Ireland. |

12 Jul 02 - 03:38 PM (#747324) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: Deckman "Mary Ann" is one of my more favorite songs. I learned it from Michael Lieb, Washington state, USA. By the way, Mike seems to have dropped off the earth ... again. If anyone knows his whereabouts, tell him that Bob Nelson and Bride Judy are wanting to serve him dinner ... again! CHEERS, Bob |

12 Jul 02 - 06:53 PM (#747438) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: Noreen MMario, is the ABC posted here by Bruce, not the tune in question? I'm rather confused by all the cross-referencing, so it may be a totally different tune, and I've not got to grips with ABC (yet). |

12 Jul 02 - 11:52 PM (#747541) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: GUEST,Gurney The song "Farewell she" starts "Fare thee well cold winter, and fare thee well cold frost...." If that sounds like it (I haven't checked if it is posted) I do have it on record somewhere. G. |

13 Jul 02 - 06:55 PM (#747789) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: Peter K (Fionn) If "Fare thee well" is allowed, I should point out that the renowned Alex Campbell sang "So fare thee well my rambling boy" in his version of the Tom Paxton song. Rambling Boy. There can't be many people who could improve on a Paxton lyric, or who would dare to even try. |

13 Jul 02 - 08:48 PM (#747813) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: SINSULL Ian and Sylvia do a pretty job on "MaryAnn". It is on several of their albums. |

13 Jul 02 - 08:51 PM (#747814) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: SINSULL Judy Collins did a "Fare thee well" which was a variant of the "Leaving Of Liverpool". So fare thee well, my own true love. We will meet another day another time. It's not the leaving that's grieving me But my true love who's bound to be left behind." |

14 Jul 02 - 11:11 PM (#748093) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: MMario Noreen - yes - it does look like bruce posted a tune for that. I will check it more closely tomorrow. I missed it earlier. |

14 Jul 02 - 11:51 PM (#748103) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: The Pooka Three years ago, when our son caught the last train for the coast & went 3,000 miles away to college, we put a bit of "The Leaving of Liverpool" on our voicemail greeting -- "I am bound for Califor-nye-ay, but I know that I'll return some day -- so fare thee well, my own true love....", etc. Then there's "The Enniskillen Dragoons", with the chorus Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare thee well for a while And all around the borders of Erin's green isle; And when the war is over we'll return in full bloom And you'll all welcome home the Enniskillen Dragoons. |

15 Jul 02 - 05:01 AM (#748167) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: So Fare Ye Well From: Mark Cohen Sinsull, that was Bob Dylan's version, recorded by Judy Collins. It's listed in the DT, strangely, as Leaving of Liverpool (New Version); I think Dylan's title was "Farewell", but I could be wrong on that, as I so often am. Aloha, Mark |
