Subject: Mudcat CD Plum: Printable Liner Notes (cont.) From: Genie Date: 21 Mar 03 - 02:13 PM This is the part I just cannot (as of yesterday and today) get to post when I include it with the rest of the liner notes. Dunno why, but I'm about tearing my hair out from trying. - Genie
We courted well, and we courted dearly, & we'd rock for hours in the front porch chair. So here's a song for all of the lovers, & here's a tune that they can share. Dear wife, I am well and I mostly have been, with exceptions in between. Chorus: By a cord stronger than death, my love, by a cord stronger than death, I miss conversations that we used to share and I miss your caresses sweet. |

The lyrics for all songs are included, as well as most of the authorship and performer credits. If there are errors or omissions, please notify me or Lin from Kansas. Thanks, Genie -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have no idea whether or not the "Derry Down" I used to sing this is even similar to that which The Antediluvians were all very sober, / For they had no Wine, and they brew'd no October; 'Twas honest old Noah first planted the Vine, / & mended his Morals by drinking its Wine; From this Piece of History plainly we find / That Water's good neither for Body or Mind; So For Safety and Honesty put the Glass 'round. Here's a link to it on my website nbsp; http://members.lycos.co.uk/mfinger, and here are the Now it's time to remember the lessons we learn No greater love could a man ever show / Than to lay down his dreams for his friends and his foes. A waltz for you to listen to, the sweetest one I know. Many a gem the oceans bear of purest ray serene, Gently down the stream of time floats our barque toward the sea. Over all that golden shore Forms unseen are chanting low. He'd an old fashioned way when he started to play, / He'd an old fashioned steel guitar. Then a kid playing pool said, "This old man's a fool! / He's not cool, just a ghoul past his prime!" She stood her ground. She stared him down. / The kid raised a fist, then he smiled. When the kid left the room, a chord filled the gloom / & a voice sang a song for the stars, So that old troubadour left that old barroom floor, / Yes, that old troubador sang her song, Repeat verses 1 and 2, then:
This song recounts the Battle of Glenmalure that occurred on the 25th of August 1580, in Near to Banbridge Town, in the County Down / One morning last July, The Cute Little Girl With The Shimmy In Her Pants is from the CD "Reggie Miles With Ham Gravy/ This is a song about true love, found. You know, when you find true love it's not something you can Every night at the cabaret, / I watch her swing & sway her blues away, But every boy in town has the same damn dream as me. I've got to make my move, make it quick, / Before I get the short end of the stick. I know a girl who loves to dance. / She likes to shake & shimmy her pots & pans. Every night at the cabaret, / I like to swing and sway my blues away, But every single male, for miles around, / They're all standin' in a big long line. But all those guys, they're too late, / 'Cuz tonight I pick her up at eight. This song was first published in Paris in 1528, then reprinted, copied by hand & sung all over 1. Tant que vivray en age florissant, / Je serviray d'amours le dieu puissant, 2. Quand je la veulx servir et honorer, / Quand par escript veulx son nom dècorer, This song has been recorded as Green Fields of Canada, notably by Paddy Tunney on Folk Legacy What matter to me where my bones they be buried, If in peace and contentment I can spend my life, Then pack up your seastores and tarry no longer, / Ten dollars a week isn't very bad pay, The sheep run unshorn & the land's gone to rushes, / The handyman's gone & the winders of creels, And I mind the time when old Ireland was flourishing, And now to conclude and to finish my story, / If ever friendless Irishman could chance on my way, [This song] was crafted under great duress & hardship as I haven't sat down to write one for a My woman is so mean, she won't talk to me today, (x2) O...don't you hear her when she moans?

Probably too late to put it in the liners but that's okay. Notice that I've upgraded somewhat from the old Dutch Masters container and the quality of sound reproduction is noticably increased. **Habana Microphone Box with CrownRoyale Bag Damper** Yerz, Tweed It's never too late, Tweed, thanks to the magic wand that Pene Azul bestowed on me for these threads.

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Plum: Liner Notes PermaThread From: greg stephens Date: 06 Mar 03 - 08:49 AM Probably because of my limited storage space, I cant access messages 30-60 of this thread. I'm guessing that it contains a set of liner-notes, and contributors are being asked to check if their stuff is correct. Could someone tell me if there are some notes by me in there? I did submit some in a previous thread asking for them. I'll be able to read anything posted, the threads divide into blocks and I can access the block we're in now. (Mine get divided into blocks of 30, unlike the general pattern on Mudcat, in case youre confused how I can get into posting 61 but not read 30-60). |

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Plum: Willie Moore From: Lin in Kansas Date: 06 Mar 03 - 03:15 AM 15. Willie Moore (trad.) 3:18 Art Thieme Email: folkart@ivnet.com. "A grand old traditional song from the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas (USA). The strange nomenclature and phrases like 'Willie Moore was a king'—'I will not tell you his name in full but his initials are J.R.G.'—'This song was writ in the south Middle West by a man known only to me'—make it a strange enigma of a song that has always grabbed my attention. Is it about murder? Or is it about suicide? Or maybe just an unfortunate drowning in a shallow little stream? "Grandpa Jones used the tune to 'Willy Moore' for the Child ballad, 'Lord Thomas And Fair Ellender'. Also, it's sort of a version of Romeo and Juliet's story (maybe)!?"—Art Thieme Willie Moore was a king, his age was 21 / He courted a damsel fair Well her eyes were as bright as the stars in the night / And wavin' soft was her hair Well, he courted her all the night and all the day / Till to marry they both did agree But when they went to get her parents' consent / They said that it never could be Well, she threw herself into Willie Moore's arms / As ofttimes she had done before But little did he think when they parted that night / Fair Annie he would see no more It was on about the sixth day of June, / A day I remember quite well, It was on the very day that her body disappeared, / In a way that no tongue can tell. Fair Annie was loved both far and wide, / Had friends come from all around And in the little brook beside the cabin door / The body of fair Annie was found Now her parents they both did mourn for her, / One moans while the other one weeps. And in a little hill beside the cabin door / The body of fair Annie sleeps. Willie Moore soon did leave that county so they say / From there he soon did depart, And the last word I heard he was in Montreal, / Where he died of a broken heart Now this song was writ in the south middle West, / By a man known only to me. Well, I cannot tell you his name in full / His initials they are J.R.G. (Repeat 1st verse.) ------------- Genie: The PDF and other files are ready, per these entries. Should we PM everyone to come and double-check these notes? Please let me know if you want me to do that. Gorgeous songs and performances, everybody--these CDs are a treasure! Lin |

Arthur And Sally (Harrison) 3:37 Bobert (Bob Harrison)—vocals "The song is based on a real cemetery that I indeed found back in the woods in Spotsylvania County and my son, Ben, and I are the only folks that I know of who can find it. I go once a year, take a rake, lopping shears and a saw and clean it up.

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Plum: Follow Me Up to Carlow From: Lin in Kansas Date: 06 Mar 03 - 02:53 AM Here are lyrics for Follow Me Up to Carlow. I don't believe The Swallowtail has lyrics. 8. Follow Me Up to Carlow (Patrick J. McCall)/The Swallowtail (trad.) 3:36 Big Mick (The Conklin Ceili Band) (This song recounts the Battle of Glenmalure that occurred on the 25th of August 1580, in County Wicklow. Tom Verlin, who plays mandolin on this version, came up with the idea of using "The Swallowtail" for the break and to end the song. The fit was a natural.) Lift Mac Cahir Oge your face, brooding o'er the old disgrace That black Fitzwilliam stormed your place and drove you to the fern. Grey said victory was sure, soon the firebrand he'd secure Til he met at Glenmalure with Fiach Mac Hugh O'Byrne Chorus: Curse and swear, Lord Kildare, Fiach will do what Fiach will dare Now Fitzwilliam have a care, fallen is your star low. Up with halberd, out with sword, on we go for by the lord. Fiach Mac Hugh has given his word, follow me up to Carlow. See the swords of Glen Imall, a flashing o'er the English pale, See all the children of the Gael beneath O'Byrne's banner. Rooster of a fighting stock would yet let a Saxon cock, Crow out upon an Irish rock, fly up and teach him manners. Chorus Now from Saggart to Clonmore, flows a stream of Saxon gore, And great is Rory Oge O'More at sending loons to Hades, White is sick and Grey is fled, now for black Fitzwilliam's head, We'll send it over dripping red, to Liza and her ladies.

"O sister I can read your dream, / Read it in grief and sorrow Your true love John he lies dead and gone / In the Dewy Dells of Yarrow She wrung her hands and tore her hair / In mortal grief and sorrow She tore a blue ribbon from off her hair / That she had received in Yarrow Then up the hills and down the dales / And through the stream so narrow And there she found her true love John / Lying dead and gone in Yarrow Her hair it was three quarters long / The color it was yellow She tied it round his middle so small / And she bore him home from Yarrow "Oh daughter dear" her father cried / "Why mourn in grief and sorrow? I can wed you to a much nobler man / Than the one you loved in Yarrow" "O father dear, you have seven sons / You can wed them all tomorrow But the fairest flower that blooms in June / Is the one I loved in Yarrow" |
