I swore I loved her true.
And that I did so long as we
Held Ramsey still in view.
And that I did so long as we
Held Ramsey still in view.
Chorus:Ramsey Town, 0 Ramsey Town,
Shining by the sea.
Here's a health to my true love,
Wheresoe'er she be.
Her hair was like the gold,
Her eyes, like cloud, were grey.
We sailed for the blazing South
All on a summer's day. - Chorus.
There are more verses butI can't remember them just now! I haven't had occasion to sing it since I was about 7 and haven't heard it sung for almost as many years, soI think I did ok.
Ramsey certainly lived up to the myth yesterday, here I had open windows and sunshine all day while I stitched, while my Hunny at work 16 miles South of here in Douglas had a dark miserable day under threatening rain clouds.
Speaking of stitching, inspite of some interruptions I got quite a lot done yesterday, I did a little more of the grass under my friend, then decided it was time to give him a face, I don't think I'll get his whole head completed this week, but I can certainly try. I work a 2-10pm shift today so as my chores are already done, the next 3-4 hours are for stitching. Yay!

Growing up on this side of the pond, I never heard that song. I'll bet it has a great folk tune, too. If it's anything like the pic on your banner, it is a beautiful place!
Welcome to blogging! Your readership will grow, takes time. The best way to make it grow a little faster is to leave comments on other blogs. People tend to visit the blogs of those who do.
Maybe find a cross-stitch webring, or when you get going on the quilting, a quilting webring. That will bring more readers, too.
Hi there! It's so cool that you commented on my blog. I just found yours yesterday but then the power went out and I didn't make it back to comment.
I really like what you've done with your background. It's wonderful! I will add you to bloglines and check back :-)
Welcome to Blogging! I love to read about new places, so will keep chicking in!
