14 Jul 04 - 06:19 PM (#1225604) Subject: Lyr Req: Paris, here I come From: GUEST,Chanteyranger At this past Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival, one of the volunteers, Mike Kennedy, sang "Paris here I come" at one of the sessions. In the hustle and bustle of the fest, I didn't get Mike's contact info. He mentioned that he learned it from a tape of the Harry Brownes of Bristol. It's one of those gems that hasn't yet made it into the repertoire of many U.S. chantey singers, I don't think. I couldn't find it in the DT, and wonder if anyone could post the lyrics. Thanks in advance! (or if you know how I can reach Mike Kennedy) Chanteyranger |

18 Jul 04 - 12:34 PM (#1228215) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Paris, here I come From: Jim Dixon According to this Directory of Shanty & Sea Song Recordings - UK, PARIS HERE I COME was recorded by The Harry Brown Shantymen (Bristol, UK) on their cassettes "Whirr Bist Headin' to Cabot?" and "Shipshape & Harry Fashion." There's a sound sample this web page: Paris, here I come, drinkin' all the way-o. (2x) See a man from home with something to say-o. Way hey and we'll merry be. (2x) Chum (?) go home, go home, someone's got your girl-o. (2x).... |

The Harry Browns of Bristol certainly sing it on their CD titled Shipshape And Harry Fashion. Can anyone clarify this question? Mike Kennedy doesn't know the answer for sure either and the Harry Browns website seems to be down. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

It was in response to the query... I have this much money left... what would you buy? LOL Mike promtly commandeered them and started learning the songs we didn't already know. Good choices, Ken. |

22 Aug 21 - 08:39 AM (#4117459) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Paris, here I come From: MoorleyMan Thankyou so much, Monique - I'd been asking the very same question of both Peter and Richard, after having great fun duetting on this very chantey only a week or so back! That'll teach me!! For I almost always use Mudcat as my first port of call (ha!) for lyrics, but this one must've slipped thru my net (ha! again)... Ca alors!! Quel dommage... A demain, Monique! |
