Hi Everyone,

I am new to the group. I'm from NY and love Irish music. I have been looking for a song by Eric Bogle and have seen "close" versions of it, but not the one I heard on a CD of his. It is about the Christmas Truce when the soldiers left their trenches and exchanged photos cigarettes and wine. I can give you some of the words here and any other help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Sean

.....on Christmas day

On the western front, the guns all died away

Lying in the mud on bags of sand

We heard the Germans sing from No Man's Land

Words were strange, but every note we knew...


The chorus goes something like this:

Oh Silent Night, no cannons roar

A King is born of peace forever more

All's calm all's bright all brother's hand in hand

A soldier's song of peace from no man's land.

That is a song about the British and German troops in 1st world war.

Is it an Irish song ?

Anyhow, welcome to the forum !

Well I guess you got me there. It's not Irish, but it is an excellent song. :D

Well I'm off to the Catskill Mountains for an excellent weekend of Irish music and maybe I'll even have a few hundred pints! Enjoy the weekend everyone :)
