I don't beleive the song is a WWanything song. It was a performance on my Telluride Festival CD by Left Hand String Band. Like I said, I can't find any info on the song OR the band? Weird. |

27 Jul 04 - 03:35 PM (#1234953) Subject: RE: Tune/Lyr/Chords Req: Keep Those Homefires Burning From: Joe Offer Hi, Just Learning - Can you transcribe the lyrics from the recording you have? There is a recording of "Keep Those Homefires Burning" available here (click), with a very nondescript sound clip. -Joe Offer- |

THey were called in from the hillside they were gathered from the glen And the companies (I heard country) found them ready at the starting call for men For no gallant son of freedom to a tyrant's yoke should bend And a valliant heart must answer to the ______ call of friend Keep the homefire burning while your hearts are yearning Though the lads are far away they dream of home There's a silver lining through each dark cloud shining Turn the dark cloud inside out till the boys come home Overseas their came a pleading help a nation in distress And we gave our glorious laddies honor bade us do no less -- -- mg |

27 Jul 04 - 09:22 PM (#1235214) Subject: RE: Keep Those Homefires Burning (Not WWII song) From: Malcolm Douglas It appears simply to be a modern piece with a derivative title. I found a sound clip, but it was of the intro only, and therefore completely useless. If "Just Learning" were to quote a few lines from the CD (which is called Telluride Bluegrass Festival - Reflections Vol. 1) there would be no need for us to speculate aimlessly. |

29 Jul 04 - 01:27 PM (#1236466) Subject: RE: Keep Those Homefires Burning (Not WWII song) From: GUEST,just learning Malcolm, that is exactly the CD I was referring to. I've been away for a bit, but,the first verse and chorus..... Soon the rain outside my window will turn to snow As Autumn winds chase down Aspen trees and turn their leaves to gold I can hear the geese come calling, across the open sky So wild and free, as they take flight Chorus: So keep those home fires burning Through the dark of the night Soon I'll be returnin' Be there one more time Before the mornin' light Anyway, I really dig on this song, it has a very calming effect on me. BTW, this whole CD is really very good. Also, I read some of the liner notes, apparently, Lefthand String Band was a precursor to Leftover Salmon. Drew Emmitt wrote and sang. Thanks. |

They were summoned from the hillside; they were called in from the glen, And the country found them ready at the stirring call for men. Let no tears add to their hardship, as the soldiers pass along, And although your heart is breaking, make it sing this cheery song: CHORUS: Keep the Home Fires Burning, while your hearts are yearning. Though your lads are far away they dream of home. There's a silver lining, through the dark cloud shining. Turn the dark cloud inside out, till the boys come home. 2. Overseas there came a pleading, "Help a nation in distress!" And we gave our glorious laddies, honour made us do no less, For no gallant son of freedom to a tyrant's yoke should bend, And a noble heart must answer to the sacred call of "Friend." CHORUS |

I've worked out almost all the lyrics from the Telluride CD, frustrated with the few words I can't get. Would you like me to post the rest of the verses? |
