about

Logy Bay is a traditional song from Canada. We have heard lots of rousing versions of this song which are a bit more Country and Western and in waltz time – we prefer it gentler and in four. This song would definitely be considered the soundtrack to our holiday to Romania before we went into lockdown – we listened to Barry Dransfield singing it on repeat.

lyrics

Ye ladies and ye gentlemen
I pray ye lend an ear
While I locate the residence
Of a lovely charmer fair
The curling of her yellow locks
First stole my heart away
And her place of habitation
Is down in Logy Bay

'Twas on a summer's evening
This little place I found
I met her aged father
Who did me sore confound
Saying if you address my daughter,
I'll send her far away
And she never will return again
While you're in Logy Bay

How could you be so cruel as
To part me from my love?
Her tender heart beats in her breast
As constant as a dove
Oh, Venus was no fairer
Nor the lovely month of May
May Heaven above shower down its love
On the star of Logy Bay

Her father rose next morning
And went to St. John's town
He engaged for her a passage
On a vessel outward bound
He robbed me of my heart's delight
And sent her far away
Which left me broken-hearted
For the star of Logy Bay

Oh, now I'll go a-roaming
I can no longer stay
I'll search the wide world over
Until my dying day
I'll search in vain through France and Spain
Likewise Americay
'Til I do sight my heart's delight
The star of Logy Bay

Now to conclude and finish
The truth to you I'll tell
Between Torbay and Outer Cove
'Tis there my love did dwell
The finest girl ever graced our Isle
So everyone did say
May Heaven above send down its love
On the star of Logy Bay

Erin Brown & Barry Watson Ely, UK

Erin Brown & Barry Watson offer lively renditions of traditional folk music featuring vocals, fiddle, stomp box and accordion (plus occasional appearances from whistles and bouzouki). Songs and tunes are taken from England, Ireland, Scotland and further afield, but the accompaniment is typically stompy and English, with the odd syncopated Breton rhythm thrown in for good measure. ... more
