endragh

it is quite intresting i do hope you post more. i wish i could really hear it insted of just reading it.

If you would like to hear it, look for Mrs. McGraw by Jolly Rogers. There a fun sea shanties group. Or, if you would like to hear another great version of the song, look for Mrs. McGrath by Bruce Springsteen. I know, I know, the guy does rock, not sea shanties. Well...this version ROCKS. whee TRUST me.

Hello my fellow SCAdians. sweatdrop I have returned once again to sing a song. This time, this one is called "Westering Home".

Quote:

Chorus:
Westering home with a song in the air
Light of me eye and it's goodbye to care
Laughter and love are a welcoming there
Pride of me heart my own love [or: Isle of heart, my own one]

Tell me a tale of the orient gay
Tell me of riches that come from Cathay
Ah but it's grand to be waken at day
And find oneself nearer to Isla

Chorus

Where are the folks like the folks of the west
Canty and couthy and kindly, our best
There I would hie me and there I would rest
At hame wi' my ain folks in Isla

Chorus

Now I'm at home and at home I do lay
Dreaming of riches that come from Cathay
I'll hop a good ship and be on my way
And bring back my fortune to Isla

Chorus

Hope you enjoyed that one. *bows*

may i ask who was that sung by m'lord?  

[Chibbi_Satan]

"Westering Home" is an old sea shanty and "hauling" song that comes to us from the British Isles. This song falls under the catagory of a "Traditional" song, as its origin is undecernable, though many famous bands have done this song justice over the years.
Individuals such as Sir Hugh Roberton who was conductor of the famous Glasgow Orpheus Choir, and the amazingly fun Pirate rock Band calling themselves the Jolly Rogers.

I know that song. It's one of my favourite bardic songs. It is called Born on the Listfield, and I am sure there are many who would be able to teach it to you. However, it is my understanding that the creator of the song wished it to not be written down, only passed along by voice. smile

yes!! Tahnk-you!! and yes, as i understand it, it was an experiment to see how far it would get passed along, and to see how much it would change (i believe there's at least 2 versions one from a female, one from a male prespective, and also there's two slight variaions on the tune, and some veriations on some of the lyrics themselves)
but i believe that it's allowed to be written down now! (as in the experiment was over) at least that's my understanding *talking to some people about it*
but yeah i really want to learn it blaugh
