Hi all,
as the title says ,I'm trying a long shot, I have been searching in vain for sometime now, mainly because A/ I can't recall the artist , B/ I can't recall the song title and C/ I can't re-call the record label either and I only have a handful of the lyrics
all I can remember is it was sung by a female artist and had an Irish lilt to it as far as I can recall.
some of the lyrics ,as far as I recall ,are " my Rory has sailed o'er the ocean, to a land far across the blue sea, he has gone where the living is better" and that's all I have. that and the vague recollection it was sung to the tune of either ' red river valley' or ' my bonnie lies over the ocean'
the story behind my search is, one of my son's is called Rory, when he was about 4-5 years old I found this record in a charity shop so I bought it ,for sentimental reasons really unfortunately his mum and I split up a few years later and the record ,among other's, was lost, anyway his 30th birthday is coming up soon and I thought it might be fun to find it in one form or another as a birthday surprise for him.
if anyone can help I'd be very grateful
