Subject: The Old Rustic Bridge By The Mill From: Teru Date: 04 May 98 - 09:57 PM I have not found the lyrics for this famous song anywhere. Is that because it is not a folk song? Does anyone know the lyrics? Thanks

Subject: RE: The Old Rustic Bridge By The Mill From: Roger Himler Date: 05 May 98 - 07:04 PM Teru, this song rings no bells in my mind. If you have any other information about it like type of music, some of the words, where you've heard it, it may stimulate some response. Good luck!! Roger in Baltimore |

Subject: RE: The Old Rustic Bridge By The Mill From: PKD on Teesside Date: 06 May 98 - 02:25 AM It's a music hall song in the tear-jerker category. The incomprable Fred Jordan from Shropshire sings it. "Below it the stream gently ripples, above it the birds softly sing. When I'm far, far away my heart oft returns to the old rustic bridge by the mill." I have a recording of Fred singing it & I'll get the words for you - but it might take a few days ('cos we're just off on a voice-wrecking expedition to Killkenny). By the by - Fred has lots more of these. "The Bird in the Gilded Cage", "Two Little Girls in Blue", "The Voluntary Organist" & so on, & also has loads of trad English stuff. Fred is in his 70's now but still gets round a lot of the English Festivals. He got the music hall stuff from his mother & the trad stuff from his father (or vice-versa??). He says his father always said "Don't ye forget the words, boy" and his mother used to say "Always leave them with a tear in their eyes". Two pieces of excellent advice !! Cheers Paul |

I've been thinking tonight of an old rustic bridge

Subject: RE: The Old Rustic Bridge By The Mill From: Brack& Date: 15 May 98 - 05:01 AM I have an old copy of the sheet music......written by someone called L.P. Skelly. I have a feeling tho that this song was written by someone else.....a guy who was born in Kileen Co. Louth, Ireland. He had a lot of his songs ripped of in the early part of the century. |
