TRADITIONAL

THE PARTING GLASS (Scottish Traditional)

Oh all the money that e'er I spent I spent it in good company And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas, it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had Are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had Would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all (this song was taught to Wild Harmony by Fran Andre in memory of Emily Roblyn's father Gordon Juckes)

Recordings include: Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem; The Dubliners; Robin Williamson; The Pogues; Steeleye Span; Cara Dillon and many others.

[Bury me deep in love Bury me deep in love Take me in, under your wing Bury me deep in love There's a chapel deep in a valley For travelling strangers in distress It's nestled among the ghosts of the pines Under the shadow of a precipice When a lonesome climbing figure Slips and loses grip Tumbles into a crevice To his icy mountain crypt Buy him deep in love, bury him deep in love Take him in, under your wing Bury him deep in love When the rock below is shaking The heart inside is quaking How long this cold dark night is taking Bury me deep in love Bury me deep in love, bury me deep in love Take me in, under your skin Bury me deep in love]

FOREVER YOUNG Bob Dylan (1974)

May God bless and keep you always, May your wishes all come true, May you always do for others And let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous, May you grow up to be true, May you always know the truth And see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, Stand upright and be strong, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy, May your feet always be swift, May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful, May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS (Mick Jones)

I gotta take a little time A little time to think things over I’d better read between the lines In case I need it when I'm older.

Now this mountain I must climb Feels like a world upon my shoulders Through the clouds I see love shine It keeps me warm as life grows colder.

In my life there's been heartache and pain I don't know if I can face it again Can't stop now, I've travelled so far To change this lonely life.

I wanna know what love is I want you to show me I wanna feel what love is I know you can show me.

I'm gonna take a little time A little time to look around me I've got nowhere left to hide It looks like love has finally found me.

In my life there's been heartache and pain I don't know if I can face it again I can't stop now, I've travelled so far To change this lonely life.

I wanna know what love is I want you to show me I wanna feel what love is I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is I want you to show me And I wanna feel I want to feel what love is And I know I know you can show me

Let's talk about love I wanna know what love is The love that you feel inside I want you to show me, And I'm feeling so much love I wanna feel what love is, No, you just cannot hide I know you can show me, yeah

I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love I want you to show me, I wanna feel it I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too

And I know and I know, I know you can show me Show me love is real, yeah I wanna know what love is. I wanna know, I wanna know

Recorder by Foreigner (1984)

ONLY REMEMBERED (Words: Dr Horatius Bonar; Music: Ira D. Sankey)

Up and away like the dew in the morning, Soaring from earth to its home in the sun, Thus will we part from the earth and life’s labours, Only remembered for what we have done. Refrain:

Only remembered, only remembered, Only remembered for what we have done; Only remembered, only remembered, Only remembered for what we have done.

Shall we be missed while others survive us, Reaping the fields we in springtime have sown? Nay, for the part that we played in life’s labours, Only remembered by what they have done. Refrain Only the truth that on earth we have spoken, Only the seeds that on earth we have sown; These shall pass onward when we are forgotten, Only remembered for what we have done. Refrain Up and away like the dew in the morning, Soaring from earth to its home in the sun, Thus will we part from the earth and life’s labours, Only remembered for what we have done.

Refrain.

THIS LOVE WILL CARRY Words and Music: Dougie MacLean

New arrangement by Helen Yeomans This love will carry, this love will carry me I know this love will carry me This love will carry, this love will carry me I know this love will carry me It's a thin line that leads us and keeps a man from shame And dark clouds quickly gather along the way he came There's fear out on the mountain and death out on the plain There's heartbreak and heart-ache in the shadow of the flame But this love will carry, this love will carry me I know this love will carry me This love will carry, this love will carry me I know this love will carry me The strongest web will tangle, the sweetest bloom will fall And somewhere in the distance we try and catch it all Success lasts for a moment and failure's always near And you look down at your blistered hands as turns another year This love will carry, this love will carry me I know this love will carry me This love will carry, this love will carry me I know this love will carry me These days are golden, they must not waste away Our time is like that flower and soon it will decay And though by storms we're weakened, uncertainty is sure And like the coming of the dawn it's ours for evermore This love will carry, this love will carry me I know this love will carry me This love will carry, this love will carry me I know this love will carry me This love will carry, this love will carry me I know this love will carry me This love will carry, this love will carry me I know this love will carry me
