Matt Monro Forum

I was listening to The Rare Monro last night, and I believe I heard him sing about bluebells in one of the songs. It's morning now, and I don't recall which song it was.

All the talk the other day about Marian's (from Kent) walk to see the bluebells and then hearing Matt Monro sing about them, made me wonder if there are many songs with bluebells in the lyrics or title.

I don't think I've ever seen bluebells. Even Sarah Kennedy was talking about them yesterday. My dictionary indicates they are a European plant, so we may not have them in America, unless Columbus brought them.

So are there songs with bluebells in the title or lyrics? Feel free to submit the Matt Monro song, because I can't recall which one it is!

There's a traditional Scottish song entitled "The Bluebells of Scotland" Paul, but I don't think there are many.
Marian

I can't think of any at all!

There's also the children's rhyming song you might have heard of John,
"In and Out the Dusty Bluebells" but I think that's my lot..
Marian

I haven't even heard of that one Marian.

I expect you're too young John
Marian

There's the " Bluebell Polka" by Jimmy Shand and his band.

There's "Goodbye My Bluebell" Al Jolson

The only other song that comes to mind is... "I'll BE YOUR SWEETHEART. with the words....
Bluebells I've Gathered Keep Them and Be True, but not the title.

I cannot think of a title---but in the song

"The Twelth of Never"--one of the lines is

"I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom."

Of course I'd forgotten that one Marian, but do you remember the skipping game that went like this. ?? . Bluebells Cockleshells,eevie ivy over

No Harry and Lena---I do not remember that one ..........

I think there was a British pop group called The Bluebells

And how about the famous

"There'll be bluebells over , the White Cliffs of Dover"

Yes that's right Robert and there was also a dancing troupe of girls called the "Bluebell Girls" who were known for being tall leggy girls who had to be of a certain height. They performed all over the world but were apparently kept under strict supervision by the founder whose name escapes me at the moment.
