16 Jun 98 - 06:11 PM (#30881) Subject: Lyr Add: Blarney Roses^^ From: Mick Lowe Volume four of "Folksongs & Ballads popular in Ireland" gives the following version: Chorus: Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow? It may be down in Limerick town or over in Mayo It's somewhere in the Em'rald Isle but this I want to know Can anybody tell me where the Blarney Roses grow? Verses: Twas over in ould Ireland near the town of Cushendall One morn I met a damsel there, the fairest of them all Twas with my young affections and my money did she go And she told me she belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow Her cheeks were like the roses, her hair a raven hue Before that she was done with me, she had me raving too She left me sorely stranded, not a coin she left you know And she told me she belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow They've roses in Killarney, and the same in County Clare But 'pon my word those roses, boys, I can't see anywhere She blarney'd me and by the powers she left me broke ho, ho Did this damsel that belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow Acushla gra-machree me boys, she murmured soft did she "If you belong to Ireland, it's yourself belongs to me" Her Donegal come-all-ye-brogue, it captured me you know Bad scram to her and that same place, where the Blarney Roses grow. Needless to say you stick the chorus in after every verse. Happy singing and mind the thorns Mick |

16 Jun 98 - 07:44 PM (#30893) Subject: RE: Lyr Req. Blarney Roses From: Mick Lowe I don't know but from the neck of the woods I come from it would probably mean horrible food as scram is a slang word we've adopted meaning food. I don't know whether this comes from Liverpool or Scotland. No doubt someone will tell us. I hope soon to have my own domain set up with a list of all the Irish songs & ceilidh tunes / sheet music in jpeg format at www.prof.co.uk . Hopefully by the end of the month so I can let you have not only the lyrics but the tadpoles as well Mick |

17 Jun 98 - 02:33 AM (#30914) Subject: RE: Lyr Req. Blarney Roses From: PKD on Teesside Hi People, I have never heard this particular last line. The way it is always sung round here is "Bad luck to her and bugger the place where the Blarney Roses grow". Obviously, if you don't like that, sing something else - that's what an oral tradition is all about. Cheers Paul |

There's Roses in Killarney and there's some in County Clare, But 'pon My Word these Roses Boys I can't find anywhere, She Blarneyed Me and by the Power She broke My Heart You know, Did This Coleen that belonged to where the Blarney Roses grow.

17 Jun 98 - 03:44 PM (#30940) Subject: RE: Lyr Req. Blarney Roses From: Martin Ryan. Penguin Dictionary of Historical Slang gives "scran" with a number of meanings - mostly referring to food, as Mick suggests above.
It then speicifally glosses "bad scran to " as follows: Can't say I've ever heard it in practice - in or out of the song. Regards. |

19 Apr 00 - 09:47 AM (#214264) Subject: Where the Blarney Roses Grow From: GUEST,georgeah@bellsouth.net Hi folks - I've got a CD by Harry O'Donaghue "It'll Be Alright On The Night", and I'd like to find the lyrics for the songs on it. In particular, I'd like the lyrics to "Where the Blarney Roses Grow". Any help is appreciated.. George |

19 Apr 00 - 09:58 AM (#214270) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Where the Blarney Roses Grow From: Alice They are in the forum, have been posted before. I'll create a link to the thread. You can find them by putting the work Blarney in the filter box and setting refresh to 3 years. Alice |
