22 Nov 06 - 02:53 PM (#1890981) Subject: Lyr Add: WHO IS AT MY WINDOW WEEPING From: Amos I wonder if this is the song you have in mind, Jim -- a Candian tune historically mixed in with Silver Dagger but of different tune and lineage. Who is at my window weeping, Weeping there so bitterly? "It's I, it's I, your own true loved one Arise, arise and pity me." "Darling, go and ask your mother If thou my wedding bride will be If she says no, return and tell me. No longer will I trouble thee." "How can I go and ask my mother For I'm her only child and dear? Oh, darling, go and seek some other," She softly whispered in his ear. "Darling, go and ask your father If thou my wedding bride will be If he says no, return and tell me. No longer will I trouble thee." "My father's on his bed a-sleeping With a shining sword placed on his breast All for to slay my own true loved one, To slay the lad that I love best." Then William took the shining sword And pierced it through his aching heart "Adieu, adieu to all false loved ones. Adieu, adieu, we both shall part." Then Mary took the blood-stained sword And pierced it through her lily white breast. "Adieu, adieu to my cruel parents. Adieu, adieu, we both shall rest." |

23 Nov 06 - 03:36 AM (#1891440) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Go Away and Ask Your Mother From: MartinRyan ... the more particularly because nobody has been able to come up with an explanation for the "Killy Boyne" phrase in the last verse, which is as Eddie Butcher sang it. Regards |

It is published, with the tune, in Songs of the Newfoundland Outports.The books have been out of print for years, but thankfully the whole collection is now available on CD-ROM. |
