Foster & Allen - A Bunch of Thyme

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

One of my late Dad's favourite songs and I love it too. I listen to this in memory of the wonderful Dad I and my 6 living siblings miss every day.

This song is a metaphor for an old pandemic long before Covid 19. Similar to "St James Infirmiry", "The leaves mustn't fall" And "I hear a sweet voice calling". The melody of this song also is similar to "Worries on my Mind" by Moon Mullican and "Careless love blues" (Bessie Smith, Bill Monroe, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, etc.).

(For a copy) Once I Had a Bunch of Thyme Come all you maidens young and fair All you that are blooming in your prime Always beware and keep your garden fair Let no man steal away your thyme For thyme it is a precious thing And thyme brings all things to my mind, Thyme with all its flavours, along with all its joys Thyme brings all things to my mind. Once I had a bunch of thyme I thought it never would decay Then came a lusty sailor who chanced to pass my way And stole my bunch of thyme away The sailor gave to me a rose A rose that never would decay He gave it to me to keep me reminded Of when he stole my thyme away. So come all you maidens young and fair All you that are blooming in your prime Always beware and keep your garden fair Let no man steal away your thyme For thyme it is a precious thing And thyme brings all things to my mind, Thyme with all its flavours, along with all its joys Thyme brings all things to an end. 백리향 그대 오라! 그대 젊은날 내 고운 님이시여 온갖 꽃 화알짝 피어나는 모습으로 그대의 백리향 뭇 사내가 엿볼지라 잘 지켜요 항상 그대의 고운 꽃밭을 백리향 그대는 내 소중한 꽃이라오 온갖 향기 온갖 기쁨으로 그대의 백리향 나의맘 가득 차올라 내 꿈의 모든 것은 백리향 그대 언젠가 백리향 한다발을 가슴에 안았었네 영원히 피어 있으라 기도하고 또 기도했네 그런 어느날 한 뱃군이 내길을 지나갔네 왕성한 그가 나의 백리향 다발 훔쳤갔네 그 뱃군은 장미 한송이를 내게 주었지 영영 시들지 않을 장미 한 송이를 내 백리향을 훔친 것을 기억하라고 그는 내개 장미 한송이를 주었다네 내게로 오라 그대 고운날 내 님이시여 온갖 꽃 화알짝 피어나는 모습으로 그대의 백리향 뭇 사내가 엿볼지라 잘 지켜요 항상 그대의 고운 꽃밭을 백리향 그대는 내 소중한 꽃이라오 그대의 백리향 내맘 가득 실어오네 온갖 향기 온갖 기쁨으로 내게 와주오 영원영원 내 꿈의 모든 것 백리향 그대 tr. by Richard 손재화 `

Got to love the Irish sense of humour with songs like this...

[@mezellenjohnson2753]

Its also a warning to protect yourself from catching venereal diseases.

[@Daz555Daz]

@@mezellenjohnson2753 I know. That was my point.

[@YorkyOne]

​@@Daz555Daz It's actually an English song.

[@Daz555Daz]

@@YorkyOne Variations of the tale have been written and rewritten a thousand times and it's origins have always been unclear. This version though is Irish.
