11 Dec 03 - 02:03 PM (#1070387) Subject: Lyr Req: My Fathers House From: GUEST,SinginSimon Heard a song called "My Fathers House" by an Irish singer from Co. Clare once called PJ Murrihy. It Starts.. The Gable wall, is all that's left now The Old Thatch Cottage is almost gone, I dry my eyes, as i sadly remeber Tales of Yesterday When i was young. In My fathers house, We were poor, but rich in love, No TV but good times there were plenty of, The night time neighbours called around, And stayed till 12 or 1 In My Fathers house, when i was young................ Anyone out there know the rest of the lyrics, would be much appreciated. can't get this outa my head, and thats really f***ing annoying when you don't know the words! |

Murrihy's recordings, but I don't see one that fits what you're seeking.Somebody here is bound to come up with it, so keep checking this thread. Murrihy sounds like an interesting guy. Other pages I found say he's a championship ploughman. Click here for more information about Murrihy. -Joe Offer- |

This may be a completely different song, as I have no recollection of having heard Murrihy... but it might jog someone else's memory. The title, and the first line, as well as the last, was 'In my father's house'. "In my father's house There was sanctuary.." "When it rained outside Love was our umbrella..."

MY FATHER'S HOUSE 1.The gabled wall, is all that's left now, The old thatch cottage, is almost gone. I dry my eyes, as I sadly remember The days of long ago, when I was young. (Chorus): In My Father's House we were poor, but rich in love, No TV, but music, we had plenty of. My mama hummed those melodies, and we all sang along, In My Father's House, when I was young. 2.Come the time, when I am older, And my own children, are rear'd and gone, I wonder then, will they fondly remember, The days of long ago, when they were young. (2nd Chorus): In My Father's House, a smile would greet you at the door, A friendly word, even travellers, there was welcome for. And at night-time neighbours rambled in, and might stay till 12 or 1, In My Father's House, when I was young. 3.Years have passed, times are changing, The rambling house, is almost gone. But still I hear, the laughter of children, Just like long ago, when I was young. (3rd chorus): In My Father's House, we were poor, but rich in love, No TV, but good times, there was plenty of. We made the best of what we had, and we sang a happy song, In My Father's House, when I was young, In My Father's House, where I was born. Pete McDonald (www.petemcdonald.com) |

27 Jul 08 - 11:29 AM (#2398749) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Fathers House (PJ Murrihy?) From: Jim Dixon Allmusic.com says MY FATHER'S HOUSE was written by Kevin Sheeran. It can be found on the albums "Thirty Years On" by The Fureys, and "Ireland" by Foster & Allen. Listening to a couple of sound samples has revealed a few differences: The gabled wall is all that's left now, The old thatched cottage has fallen down. I dry my eyes, as I fondly remember The days of long ago, when I was young.... A pdf file showing lyrics and chords can be found here. |

It may be a bit different than some of the above: MY FATHER'S HOUSE (Kevin Sheeran) The gable wall is all that's left now The old thatch cottage has fallen down. I dry my eyes as I fondly remember The days of long ago, when I was young. In my father's house we were poor but rich in love, No TV but music there was plenty of. My Mamma hummed old melodies and we all sang along In my father's house, when I was young. Come the time when I am older, My own children are there to come. I wonder then, will they fondly remember The days of long ago, when they were young. In my father's house a smile would greet you at the door, A friendly word even travelers there was welcome for. And at night time neighbors rambled in And might stay till 12 or 1 In my father's house when I was young. The years have passed and times are changing; The rambling house has almost gone. But I still hear the laughter of children, Just as long ago, when I was young. In my father's house, we were poor but rich in love. No TV, but good times there was plenty of. We made the best of what we had and we sang a happy song, In my father's house when I was young… In my father's house when I was young. |
