Coming home the other evening I turned on the radio and a song was playing, I'm pretty sure Paul Brady was the main voice and a female was dueting with him. The only lines that my memory managed to hold went something like this;
Fare thee weel (well?) my best and fairest
Fare thee weel my first and dearest
Or something pretty similar to that. It sounded like a Scottish song, there were a few 'nays' and such in the lyrics. Anyhow, the phone in the carkit rang before the end and cut off the radio automatically before the end of the song, thus I never got the title.
As I'm posting this thread, help with another song I partially remember from a few years ago would be appreciated. It was a trio of male voices singing in harmony, the basic gist of the song was a jilted young man coming to his sweetheart's house one night to see her. She told him to go and find another girl as her father didn't approve of him and I think her mother thought that he was too good for her. The only line I remember from this (I'm pretty sure this is verbatim) is;
And what other neighbours have 'round their gardens
The same my darling you will have with me
Any ideas on either would be greatly appreciated, other avenues of exploration have proved fruitless. If Cav gets the hippy hat on, he may be able to help.
