Signup for Fiddle Tune a Day at www.vithefiddler.com My main memory of My Wild Irish Rose is hearing my dad sing it and play it on the tenor banjo while my grandpa backed him up on guitar. It was always one of the favorites at the ice cream socials we played when I was a kid. I recorded today's fiddle tune at the Tapestry House, the fanciest wedding venue in Fort Collins, where a very fancy photo shoot was taking place. My Wild Irish Rose may be the penultimate Irish Ballad. It has a great melody, and the chorus begs the listener to join in and sing along. Don't be afraid to sing along as you listen.

If you listen I'll sing you a sweet little song Of a flower that's now droped and dead, Yet dearer to me, yes than all of its mates, Though each holds aloft its proud head. Twas given to me by a girl that I know, Since we've met, faith I've known no repose. She is dearer by far than the world's brightest star, And I call her my wild Irish Rose. My wild Irish Rose, the sweetest flower that grows. You may search everywhere, but none can compare with my wild Irish Rose. My wild Irish Rose, the dearest flower that grows, And some day for my sake, she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose. 2. They may sing of their roses, which by other names, Would smell just as sweetly, they say. But I know that my Rose would never consent To have that sweet name taken away. Her glances are shy when e'er I pass by The bower where my true love grows, And my one wish has been that some day I may win The heart of my wild Irish Rose. My wild Irish Rose, the sweetest flower that grows. You may search everywhere, but none can compare with my wild Irish Rose. My wild Irish Rose, the dearest flower that grows, And some day for my sake, she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose.. + Informações

MOTHER MACHREE There's a spot in my heart which no other may own, There's a depth in our souls never sounded or known; There's a place in my mem'ry, my life that you fill, No other can take it?no one ever will. Ev'ry sorrow or care in the dear days gone by Was made bright by the light of the smile in your eye; Like a candle that's set in a window at night Your fond love has cheered me, and guided me right. Sure I love the dear silver that shines in your hair And the brow that's all furrowed and wrinkled with care I kiss the dear fingers so toil-worn for me God bless you and keep you, Mother Machree!

This is another tune that I learned by hearing my dad play it on tenor banjo. We would frequently play this tune when we played music at nursing homes.

Like the linnet's sweet song, Crooning all the day long, Comes your laughter so tender and light. For the springtime of life Is the sweetest of all There is ne'er a real care or regret; And for the springtime is ours Throughout all of youth's hours, Let us smile each chance we get.

This is another one of those Irish songs that are not really Irish - like Molly Malone. James Royce (1881 - 1946) was a prominent actor and composer of the Tin Pan Alley era. Born in Michigan, he added the "Shannon" to his name to make it sound Irish, as "Irish" music was popular at the time. This is his best-known song, written in 1913 for the musical production by Chauncey Olcott, "Shameen Dhu (Black-Haired Jimmy)", which was staged in New York in 1914. The song had a new lease of life when it was sung by Bing Crosby in the movie "Going My Way" (1944). It has since been sung by many artists, including Dean Martin, Bob McGrath and Van Morrison.
