Subject: Any November Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 15 Oct 21 - 06:25 AM
-Joe Offer- Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of November ie: (A) Any songs with November in the title (B) Any songs with a November date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in November even if the lyrics do not actually say so. It would be very helpful to have links to performances of the songs and also more sources of information about them. Below is an alphabetical index of the titles collected in this thread so far. If a title in this index is clicked then you should be jumped to the section of the thread in which most of the discussion and links for that title occurs. If you just want to add a new post to this thread use the “Post to this thread” or POST buttons to jump to the end of the thread. I shall sometimes rearrange “ late” posts to group them with the appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked. Or I might add in-thread links between separated posts on the same songs When I add to someone’s post I make this clear by doing so beneath an orange line like the one below.- Regards, GeoffLawes

Subject: RE: Any November Songs? From: JHW Date: 18 Oct 21 - 07:22 AM ROBERT WILLANCE Oh Willance he was a wealthy man, in Richmond did reside-o And all to take of the winter’s air for Marrick he did ride-o But ere the priory was into view he’s headed back for town–o As on the top of the Whitcliffe Scar the mist comes clouding down-o He’s picked his way all through the mist and as he heads for home-o There’s many a stream aye and ditch to cross along the way he’s come-o And when he’s come to the first bank side, “Go well me mare”, says he-o And out she leaps all through the mist and safe has landed she-o So when he’s come to the next bank side, again she leaps the mare-o And here again at the third bank side so bravely through the air-o And when he’s come to the next bank side, he tightly holds the rein-o As across the ditch be short or wide she blindly leaps again-o But here’s the edge of the Whitcliffe Scar, two hundred feet below All tumbled over all through the air does horse and rider go The poor mare came crashing down and broken lay and dead-o And Willance he fell by her side, his leg all tore and red-o And as he lay in the shivering damp, O Willance he did cry-o If no-one finds me here tonight then surely I may die-o But as he felt of his broken bones his face was pale and ill-o Then he says, “Me mare, you’ve served me well but you may serve me still-o For if I cut open my good mare’s side then I may not be lost -o And if I place all my leg inside it’ll save me from the frost-o” So he’s cut open her belly wide and that was how they found him Alive and with his leg inside, the corpse still warm around him They’ve taken him down to Richmond town, his leg they have took off him And in Saint Mary’s old churchyard they’ve placed it in a coffin And ten years after did Willance die and as he had decided His leg it was dug up again and they were reunited. Willance’s Leap why the place is known and you can still read there-o His words upon the marking stone as thanks to God and mare-o. 1606 Hear Us. Glory be to our merciful God who miraculously preserved me from the danger so great. |
