Subject: RE: Lyrics the shipyards and gdansk (sean keane) From: The Maverick Date: 09 Mar 15 - 04:30 PM Have got these but don't think the opening half first line is right anyone? In a dark and dreary corner in a bar outside the town A Polish man was drinking, he looked a little down I served him with his order, he paid me and said "Thanks. My name is Yahtzee from Gdansk." "My father worked the shipyard and he gave them his life. I followed in his footsteps for I thought it was my right. Till that cold October morning in the year of zero four They handed me my papers at the door." chorus: And the wife and children he has left behind They're playing Ring a Rosie in his mind Even tho' his gifted hands were not needed in his land He still dreams of the shipyard and Gdansk. "When I came to Ireland the build for me a life Be the Celtic Tiger for my family and wife Building walls in Tipperary, laying roads in Dublin town And dreaming of the day I'm homeward bound." Just as the bar was closing he lifted up his glass Said "Here's a toast to Ireland, to her future and her past, The light that shines within you in my heart will always dance Till I return to the shipyard and Gdansk." |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE SHIPYARDS AND GDANSK (Sean Keane) From: Jeri Date: 09 Mar 15 - 06:31 PM I can get it here. The first line: THE SHIPYARDS AND GDANSK (Sean Keane) In a darkened, quiet corner in a bar outside the town, A Polish man was drinking; he looked a little down. I served him with his order; he paid me and said: "Thanks. My name it is Yahtzee from Gdansk." "My father worked the shipyards and he gave them his life. I followed in his footsteps as I felt that was my right. When one cold November morning in the year of zero-four They handed me my papers at the door." CHORUS: And the wife and children he has left behind Are playing Ring a Rosie in his mind. Even tho' his gifted hands are not needed in his land, He still dreams of the shipyard and Gdansk. "But when I came to Ireland to build myself a life And feed the Celtic tiger for my family and wife Building walls in Tipperary, laying roads in Dublin town, And dreaming of the day I'm homeward bound." Just as the bar was closing he lifted up his glass, Said "Here's a toast to Ireland, to her future and her past. The light that shines within you in my heart will always dance When I return to the shipyard and Gdansk." CHORUS: And the wife and children he has left behind Are playing Ring a Rosie in his mind. Even tho' his gifted hands were not needed in his land He still dreams of the shipyard and Gdansk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ3DBSZ3S28 |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Shipyards and Gdansk (Sean Keane) From: GUEST Date: 04 Jun 15 - 10:32 PM The first line as I understand it from the Sean Keane concert we saw last year i: in a quiet darkened corner, in a bar outside the town. I served hom with his order, he paid me and said Hi. My name it is Jerzy from Gdansk. (Pronounced Yertsey) Then one cold November morning in the year of zero four. Pat Coyne who plays guitar for Sean normally plays in open D or DADGAD and the chords are basicaly D, G and A with an F#m and Em thrown in on the the run from D to G. I finger pick the song in DADGAD so i dont know what it would sound like for a strummer in concert tuning. CC |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Shipyards and Gdansk (Sean Keane) From: GUEST,Grishka Date: 05 Jun 15 - 12:15 PM "Jerzy" is pronounced YEAHzhee, zh like the French j. As you may have guessed, it is the Polish equivalent of George. Gdansk (or even Gdańsk) - no English rhyme for that. The shipyards there are not quite as cozy as they may seem in a homesick emigrant's memory. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Shipyards and Gdansk (Sean Keane) From: GUEST,Jacek Date: 23 Mar 19 - 06:11 AM Well, you're wrong :) Jerzy is quite different pronounciation. It should have be written as JACEK, it's Polish given name. Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacek Actually I'm Jacek. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Shipyards and Gdansk (Sean Keane) From: GUEST Date: 01 Oct 21 - 01:00 PM The Shipyards and Gdansk was written by James Gorham from Longford in Ireland |

Subject: RE: Lyr ADD: The Shipyards and Gdansk (Sean Keane) From: Joe Offer Date: 01 Oct 21 - 04:26 PM Hmmm. I'd like to see some documentation of the James Gorham attribution. There's a recording on Sean Keane's YouTube channel that appears to attribute the song to Sean Keane: Mudcat's David Kidman apparently agrees with you: |
