Old bar is at 125+ posts, so here's another one to lead us into the weekend and the holiday following it. Y'all drink up, you know how the Irish like to do it.

Old thread:
http://www.fireflyfan.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=32926

I'm amazed that someone who can watch and help take apart human corpses is disgusted by a little dirty water. Huh. Despite a few small examples of that terminology, it really is a great poem, and wonderful for reciting with a group of ex-Rangers at a Tavern off in the woods.

Gunga Din is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling (same person who wrote The Jungle Book), and if anyone wants to read it, here is a link:
http://www.bartleby.com/103/48.html

*sings*
As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier.
Said stand and deliver, for ye are a bold deceiver
musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
whack for the daddy 'ol
there's whiskey in the jar

*leaves hugs and chocolate for any that want them*

The short answer is yes:

To a land of opportunity
That some of them will never see
Fortune prevailing
Across the western ocean
Their bellies full
Their spirits free
They'll break the chains of poverty
And they'll dance

Still, on the plus side, I didn't get that job I went for, so I still get to slug about in bed for a bit longer in the mornings.

I love Whiskey in the Jar, but for all you folks in the 76th, here's a soldier's song;

Whiskey, You're the Devil
Now brave boys, we're on the march
off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beating, banners flying
the Devil at home will come tonight
so it's go, fare thee well
with a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
a too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
there's whisky in the jar

Oh, whisky you're the devil
you're leading me astray
over hills and mountains
and to Amerikay
you're sweetness from the Bleachner
and spunkier than tea
oh whisky you're my darling drunk or sober

The French are fighting boldly
men are dying hot and coldly
give every man his flask of powder
his firelock on his shoulder
so its go, fare thee well
with a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
a too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
there's whisky in the jar

Oh, whisky you're the devil
you're leading me astray
over hills and mountains
and to Amerikay
you're sweetness from the Bleachner
and spunkier than tea
oh whisky you're my darling drunk or sober

Says the old wan do not wrong me
don't take me daughter from me
for if you do I will torment you
when I'm dead my ghost will haunt you
so its go, fare thee well
with a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
a too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
there's whisky in the jar

Oh, whisky you're the devil
you're leading me astray
over hills and mountains
and to Amerikay
you're sweetness from the Bleachner
and spunkier than tea
oh whisky you're my darling drunk or sober

Oh, whisky you're the devil
you're leading me astray
over hills and mountains
and to Amerikay
you're sweetness from the Bleachner
and spunkier than tea
oh whisky you're my darling drunk or sober

There's a widow in sleepy Chester
Who weeps for her only son;
There's a grave on the Pabeng River,
A grave that the Burmans shun;
And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri

There's all sorts of lyrics posted there, including some Civil war (US not UK), old Irish and even a Jacobite one or two.

Anyhow, I figure anything involving drink, violence and misfiring realtionships sounds very Firefly!

Really? I'll have to check that out.

I'm surprised you remembered my fondness of the auld Jacobite music.

In honor of that, I'll propose a toast!

(The way you do it, is you have a glass or pitcher of water in front of you, and when you say "To the King!" you pass the glass over the water-meaning to the Stuart king-in the modern British military they remove the water from the table when they do toasts to prevent this.)

Gentlemen! To the King o'er the main!

This'd be the song I'd sing next (sorry about the Midi file, but its the only one I could find that had the melody too)

As the possessor of a history degree,I could get into this with you. But it could get ugly.

sidenote - did you ever read Joan Aiken as a kid? I read quite a few of her alt-verse books before I picked up the difference! (For non-readers, the Jacobites won, England has a Stuart monarch, and the wicked Hanoverians keep trying to infiltrate.)

No, I've never heard of Ms. Aiken, though I still consider myself a kid, so its possible that your question could be answered yes.

I'm a Yank and not much of a Royalist, so my attachment to the Jacobite cause is strictly related to the music. Hell, I'd probably fight against them if somehow I was sent back in time, because if they'd win we wouldn't get such wonderful songs.

Also, I hear a pub in NY is banning Danny Boy because its depressing and written by an Englishmen.

So how about a good WWI song: Who Stole the Rum Last Night?

Funny story, that would actually make a great 76th song, based solely on the title and the final night of D*C last year.

Also, Magda said to tell everyone hello from down under, and she send lots of love and hugs. She is busy packing, as her trip begins very shortly now.

Well, here's the lyrics; pretty good for a unit methinks.

Who stole the rum last night?
Tune: Who were you with last night?

Who stole the rum last night?
Who stole the rum last night?
Was it the sergeant who lifted the jar?
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Who stole the rum last night?
Out in the pale moon light?
I’m going to tell the colonel
When I get back.
You stole the rum last night

Not sure how you'll find the melody though; its pretty simple and anyone can sing along (I've got it on an old cassette tape, coupled with "I Want to Go Home")
Edit: I know the tune on Harmonica, and I've got a book somewhere that tells me what the translation is (7 Draw=which note on the staff). If any of you folks know music and are interested I could probably write it out with the lyrics so you know how it goes. Its a fun little song.

To Welcome Old Rosin the Bow
To Welcome old Rosing the Bow
I know that good quarters are waitin'

Sayin send down a hogshead of whiskey
to drink with old Rosin the Bow

To drink with old Rosin the Bow
To drink with old Rosin the Bow
Sayin send down a hogshead of whiskey
To drink with old Rosin the Bow

Now take ye a half dozen stout fellows
and stack 'em all up in a row
Have 'em drink out of half gallon bottles
to the memory of Rosin the Bow.

To the memory of Rosin the Bow
To the memory of Rosin the Bow
Have 'em drink out of half gallon bottles

Now take these half dozen stout fellows
and let them all stagger and go
Have 'em did a great hole in the meadow
and in it put Rosin the Bow

And in it put Rosin the Bow
And in it put Rosin the Bow
Have 'em did a great hole in the meadow
And in it put Rosin the Bow

Now take ye two half gallon bottles
put one at me head and me toe
with a diamond ring scratch upon 'em

You're a man after my own heart Veteran! I love that song. If you're a Union Man(our Civil War, not theirs), I'll fire back at you with a Union song that uses the same tune. But till then, here's another popular WWI song of Ireland (one of my personal favorites).

To save space I'll only put the chorus and I'll like a site with the full lyrics and a midi file of it (actually ain't that bad as midi's go).

Quote:
It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know.
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square,
It's a long, long way to Tipperary,
But my heart lies there.

Greetings from the emerald isle

"By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Micheal they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
Nothing matter Mary when your free,
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled they ran me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity.

Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

By a lonely harbor wall
She watched the last star falling
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
For her love in Botany Bay
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry."

Proof folks that no one does tragedy and general misery like us! Something to sob into your whisky to.

Does your magical pitcher do baileys ?

It does everything, no matter what you ask (even coffee and coke), and can pour two seperate drinks into two seperate glasses (like lemonade and water)

Is anyone else in here enough of a fantasy (and a Mercedes Lackey) freak to know what book I'm getting this magical pitcher from?

Hint- The chronology in the series this is in is confused because there's a prequel to the series concerning a secondary character, and then there was a combined book made out of the original first two books....

I'm thinking a combination of all three, and more. My fear is that she'd blow the bar, plus a sizable chunk of the planet below. I mean, if all the atoms that constitute a person's body were simultaneously transformed into energy, well, that would account for a pretty significant kapow!

Or maybe, in terms of utter destruction, she could become a lump of neutronium, and drive a hole toward the center of the earth, creating a giant volcano

Though, now that I'm thinking about it, that wouldn't be real destructive, because it would be a tiny hole, and it wouldn't allow much magma to flow up...

Then I say we grab a couple of shovels and expand the hole (gahhh... nice image, thanks a lot, me). Like my mum used to tell me : " 'You wanna achieve total devastation and mass murder, you gotta work for it. Its'not like someone's just going to come and drop it in your lap!"

LEOPARDFLAN

Friday, March 14, 2008 9:40 PM

Yes, but there'd probably be lava coming out of the hole already, so the shovels would probably melt... Though there is a possibility of that small hole building up pressure and causing the lava to sky-rocket. THAT would be fun to watch

Well, it seems that I don't have much of a reaction to sugar. I just ate two big slices of chocolate cake with fudge icing, and frosting roses... YUM! And then, for dessert, I had two pez-despenser full of pez candy. And I'm not hyper. I'm just more awake than I usually am at any given time, and I'm twitching alot. And shivering- I'm not cold, just shivering and chattering my teeth. But that's it.

But it's getting kinda annoying having to go back and fix all these typo's I'm getting, so does anyone have any advice as to how to stop these twitches?

Cookies are the best breakfast ever! Especially my mom's chocolate chip cookies. And they're even better when eaten in large quantities without permission And then you follow those with a big slice of chocolate cake..... I think I'll end up getting the twitches again, but it's worth it

Normally I can sing right along with a large number of Irish/drinking/rowdy/naughty songs.
Something is happening at present which makes me mentally pull up the lyrics and tune to any of a number of songs *except* the one I'm trying to remember.
Bugger.

Pogues: the one about "this is the last time I get married" (Irish punk wedding song!)

I could probably type out the lyrics to "She Moved "Through The Fair", but it's kinda slow...
(does go with S&BJ Day a little towards the end...)

"There Were Roses"
"Rambling Irishman"
Jacobite donation to the discussion: "Come Ye O'er Frae France" (Makes you want to up and march on some place...)

"Peg O'Nell"
"Cockles and Mussels"
"Queen of Argyle"
"An Poc Ar Buille"("The Mad Buckgoat")
"Planxty Irwin"
"Mrs MacDermott's"
"Smash The Windows"
"Darby O'Leary"
"Dance To Your Daddy" (children's song, no booze.)
"Kemp Owyn" (Okay, that one's Welsh...)

I'll stop now and go put on a CD.
And a lovely pot of tea for Gee.

I'm also going to build a basement for the Bar, whip together a Truly Amazing Still with a special interdimensional time alternator, and come up with something absolutely lovely and quite nearly explosive. Be back in a sec!

Here you go; there's two versions actually.

Quote:
WHEN SHERMAN MARCHED DOWN TO THE SEA by Samuel Hawkins Marshall Byers Tune: "Old Rosin the Beau"

Our camp-fires shone bright on the mountains
That frowned on the river below,
While we stood by our guns in the morning,
And eagerly watched for the foe;
When a rider came out of the darkness
That hung over mountain and tree,
And shouted: "Boys, up and be ready!
For Sherman will march to the sea!"

Then cheer upon cheer for bold Sherman
Went up from each valley and glen,
And the bugles re-echoed the music
That came from the lips of the men;
For we knew that the stars in our banner
More bright in their splendor would be,
And that blessings from Northland would greet us
While Sherman marched down to the sea.

Then forward, boys! forward to battle!
We marched on our perilous way,
And we stormed the wild hills of Resaca--
God bless those who fell on that day!
Then Kennesaw, dark in its glory,
Frowned down on the flag of the free,
But the East and the West bore our standards
When Sherman marched down to the sea.

Still onward we pressed till our banners
Swept out from Atlanta's grim walls,
And the blood of the patriot dampened
The soil where the traitor flag falls.
We paused not to weep for the fallen,
Who sleep by each river and tree,
But we twined them a wreath of the laurel,
And Sherman marched on to the sea.

Oh, proud was our army that morning,
That stood where the pine darkly towers,
When Sherman said, "Boys, you are weary,
But to-day fair Savannah is ours."
Then sang we a song for our chieftain,
That echoed o'er river and lea,
And the stars in our banner shone brighter
When Sherman marched down to the sea.

and
Lincoln and Liberty Too

Quote:
LINCOLN AND LIBERTY Attributed to Jesse Hutchinson, Jr. (1813-1853) Tune: "Old Rosin the Bow"

Hurrah for the choice of the nation,
Our chieftain so brave and so true,
We'll go for the great reformation,
For Lincoln and Liberty, too!
We'll go for the son of Kentucky,
The hero of Hoosierdom through,
The pride of the "Suckers" so lucky,
For Lincoln and Liberty, too!

They'll find what by felling and mauling,
Our railmaker statesman can do;
For the people are everywhere calling
For Lincoln and Liberty, too.
Then up with the banner so glorious,
The star-spangled red, white, and blue,
We'll fight till our banner's victorious,
For Lincoln and Liberty, too.

Our David's good sling is unerring,
The Slavocrat's giant he slew,
Then shout for the freedom preferring,
For Lincoln and Liberty, too.
We'll go for the son of Kentucky,
The hero of Hoosierdom through,
The pride of the "Suckers" so lucky,
For Lincoln and Liberty, too.

Flogging Molly was in my town a few weeks back. It was, well, shiny!

I've been singing their songs in my head ever since. They had a signing too. Very friendly bunch.

By the by, it's a Saturday, and I've watched the entire series today. Been busy, painted a room... but playing the series is like having a friend along.

TANKOBITE

Sunday, March 16, 2008 5:32 AM

I thought the general tone of the post was the answer. Sherman's march to the sea means a very happy me.

Life's good. Back with the family; got 'em hooked on Firefly (think they finished the series tonight, going to watch Serenity tomorrow) and I just finished disc one of the series with a friend who's never seen it. When I go back to college I think I may try to get a Firefly Friday going in my room (start with the series and end with the movie-should be a good couple of weeks)

If I were a missionary I'd be jealous of my success.

Now I know it has already been mentioned, but I like this version of the Rare Old Mountain Dew (that guy from the Dubliner's has a great voice for the song)

Something about Rugby, but the song's great.

Oh! Let the grasses grow and the waters flow in a free and easy way...

Had an idea-I could also have uploaded "Who Stole the Rum Last Night" and put it on Youtube as a video. Only problem is that I only have it on cassette...so instead here's a song that really isn't Irish, nor a drinking song, but could probably go with the Browncoats.

"I Wore A Tunic"

I wasn't feeling extremely creative, so after the WWI picture I just borrowed one of your guy's signatures.
