BTW I have loved this tune for over 30 years, learned it off a Johnston's record in the late 60s. Where did you learn it? |

Thanks for the chords, by the way. Here are the ones I use -- I think I sing a little higher than you do: D/A/Em/A D/A/Em/D Dm/Am/Em/A D/A/Em/D I loved this song from the first time I heard it. The only recording I have of it is on the CD There Were Roses by Mick Moloney, Jimmy Keane, Robbie O'Connell and Liz Carroll. Slán go fóill, Áine |

26 May 03 - 05:43 AM (#959216) Subject: RE: Tune Req: Fuigfidh Mise an Baile Seo From: GUEST,Philippa Fuígfidh Mise an Baile Seo is the song of a woman who has made a bad match. She married young for the want of money, but she's married a miser who won't even let her out to Mass on feast days, let alone take her to the ale-house for a drink, and doesn't romance her like a young man would. Finally, she says it's a pity that people who are dissatisfied in marriage can't go to the fair and trade partners the way they can sheep and cattle. (She apparently hasn't heard the song "In praise of John Magee"). FUÍGFIDH MISE AN BAILE SEO Fuígfidh mise an baile seo mar tá sé dubhghránna 'S rachaidh mé go Connachta nó siar go Laighean Uí Eára An áit a bhfaighidh mé póg ó mo stór is míle fáilte Sealbhán deas bó is cead mo phósadh ar a' táiliúir. A Mhuire, nach mé an trua(ighe) 's mé pósta ar a' sclábhaí Nach ligeann amach 'un Aifrinn mé lá saoire nó Dé Domhnaigh Nach dtigeadh go tigh a' leanna liom 's nach n-ólfadh gine óir liom 'S nach dteannfadh lena chroí mé mar dhéanfadh an buachaill óg liom. Thíos a chois na farraige atá mé féin 'mo chónaí A' síordhéanamh lionndubh ó mhaidin go trathnóna, Is mé ag smaoineamh ar mo stóirín a bhíodh í gconaí ' caint liom 'S ar chuala sibh mar seoladh mé go h-óg a dhéanamh m'aimhlis? Pósadh go hóg mé mar gheall ar na puntaí Lán mo dhá láimh is níor shásaigh 'riamh m'intinn Nach trua nach dtig an reacht amach mar thiocfadh ar bha 's n'ar chaoirigh An té nach dtaitneodh an margadh leis a sheoladh ar ais 'un aonaigh. Fuígfidh mise an baile seo mar tá sé dubhghránna 'S rachaidh mé go Connachta nó siar go Laighean Uí Eára An áit a bhfaighidh mé póg ó mo stór is míle fáilte Seal(a)bhán deas bó is cead mo phósadh ar a' táiliúir. |

There is another serious error in his transcription, the last line of the second verse reads "mar dheanfadh buachaill og/ mé" instead of "mar dhéanfadh buachaill óg liom" |

26 May 03 - 07:01 AM (#959223) Subject: Lyric Add: Táilliúirín an Éadaigh From: GUEST,Philippa Coincidently, I had searched Mudcat last week to see whether ''Fuígfidh Mise an Baile Seo'' was in the archives, because I read lyrics of another song with the same initial verse. ''Táilliúirín an Eudaigh'' is published in Douglas Hyde, Love Songs of Connacht . This book was originally published in 1893, but I am looking at a facsimile edition published by Irish University Press, Shannon, 1968. Hyde says he got the song from Walter Sherlock of County Roscommon and he comments on the simplicity of the text (evidentally not the work of a bard, in Hyde's view). No tune is given, but the tune of ''Fuígidh Mise an Baile Seo'' will fit. The spelling and the translation is Hyde's. TÁILLIÚIRÍN AN EUDAIGH Fágfaidh mé an baile seó mar tá sé gránna, Agus rachfaidh mé mo chomhnuidhe go Claidh-Uí-Gheadhra. An áit a bhfuighfead póga 'óm stóirín agus ceud fáilte, 'óm' bhog chalamáinín (?) bó(?)* agus pósfad leis an táilliúr. A thailliúr, a tháilliúir, 's a tháilliúirín an éuduigh, Ní deise liom mar ghearras tú 'ná mar chumas tú na bre 'ga, Ní truime liom bró mhuilinn 's í tuitim i Loch Eirne, 'Ná grádh buan an táilliúr tá i mbrollach mo léine. Shaoil mise féin mar do bhí mé gan eólas Go mbainfinn liom do lámh no fáinne an phósta, Agus shaoil mé 'nna dhiaigh go mbudh tú an result-eólais, No bláth na sugh-craobh air gach taoibh de na bóithrín. * perhaps óm bhog cholamáinin (= colum óig) [young dove] THE TAILOREEN OF THE CLOTH I will leave this village because it is ugly, And I'll go to live at Cly-O'Gara The place where I will get kisses from my treasureen , and a Céad fáilte From my soft, young little dove, and I will marry the tailor. Oh tailor, oh tailor, Oh tailoreen of the cloth, I do not think it prettier how you cut (your cloth) then how you shape the lies Not heavier would I think the quern of a mill, and it falling into Loch Erne, Than the lasting love of the tailor that is in the breast of my shirt. I thought, myself, and I was without knowledge, That I would seize your hand with me, r the marriage ring, And I thought after that that your were the star of knowledge Or the blossom of the raspberries on each side of the boreen (little road). -- Hyde notes that the last verse of a song called the Ciomach in O'Faherty's ,Siamsa an Gheimhridh, is very like the first verse of Táilliúrín an Éadaigh (and of Fuígfidh Mise an Baile Seo), but that there is no other resemblance between the Ciomach and the Táilliúirín. O'Fahery, writes Hyde, ''afterwards recovered a verse nearly identical with my second verse, and prints it in his book as belonging to the Ciomach. If this is so, my song is a fragment of it, but I think it more likely they are different pieces altogether, for I have recovered from a Roscommon man another version of this called the Giobach … Both ciomach and giobach mean the 'untidy' or 'slatternly' person.'' I've heard a song called An Ghiobóg, which is the feminine version, an untidy woman. But it doesn't share verses with an Táilliúirín nor tune with Fuígfidh Mise an Baile Seo. It's been recorded by Eamonn Mac Ruairí of Tory Island (CIC023) and by Clannad (Lyrics also at this site with lyrics from Ceolta Gael) |

Too bad there have been only two comments in 14 years. Have a listen. |
