Rose of Erin/Pouring Rain Upgraded Tracks

Post by Slickgonzalez »

In another thread, someone mentioned the Strummer documentary on the 'When Pigs Fly' DVD... I immediately bought it on Amazon and ripped the following 3 tracks from the film and the documentary:

Rose of Erin: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xd25t5ajq08ey ... n.wav?dl=0

Rose of Erin (Acappela): https://www.dropbox.com/s/q3pd43o0xcqk0 ... 9.wav?dl=0

In The Pouring Rain: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9fwtt5qfax9h6 ... n.wav?dl=0

These are higher quality than the upgrades that have been available for a while. Also, the acappela version is pretty cool because now we can finally decipher the lyrics to Rose of Erin.

I can upload the documentary too, if anyone is interested.

Now way down in a woken town,
Where the boys you might find
Some happy and some sad
But some drunk all around

Let the breeze a'blowin' on 'em come home
The door is shaken in the wind
Now that's when the boys will sing
To the rose of Erin

Well she waited for the new railroad
Rolling light to get in town
You could see she was ready for the show
As she came waltzing down

Who's that singing in the alley?
I, stepping all across the floor
She became a new sensation,
And everybody screamed for more

With teardrops on bone,
She drinks from the mountain spring
They say it was the nightingale
That gave her the voice to sing

Ladadada, lalalalala la
Ladadada, lalalala la

Now, she's burned all the flowers at her door
Sent by gangsters and candidates
How many thought she was living with the lord
Kept her picture like a saint

Till one winter night in Chicago,
(In a) cheap Cayman saloon
She blew a model hole in a lover
And blasted away from the room
The poor handle revolver was found lying in the snow
And she left one daughter in a bag of Cali gold

She must have lost herself in New Orleans
And cleared the light of Japanese
Oh, the world is teeming down in old Hong Kong
And the drifters leap across the China Sea

Let the breeze upon 'em come home
The door a'shaken in the wind
Now that's when the boys will sing
To the rose of Erin

When it's late at night (the rose of Erin)
When it's really late at night (Rose of Erin)...

The pearl handled revolver was found lying in the snow
And she left one daughter in a bag of Cali gold

She must have lost herself in New Orleans
And cleared a line of Japanee
Oh, the world is teeming down in old Hong Kong
And the clippers leapt across the China sea

Great work. Made a couple corrections and guesses (in brackets). Strummer in rare country ballad mode.

Hey, thanks for doing this. Always love getting upgrades. I'm pretty sure my copies of these are still from the days when we hosted mp3s.

Thanks for these, Mr G - nice to hear them again, and definitely worth having as upgrades.
I had the 2 tracks as MP3s from Lord knows where and when, and they play back (very) slightly faster. I think these newer versions sound correct.

Could it be "dewdrops from the farm(s)"?

Sounds like "With teardrops on the phone" to this pair of cloth-ears anyway

Seconded. Or a link where I might buy the DVD as I can't find it on Amazon.
