Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: GUEST Date: 27 Jan 22 - 11:08 PM Btw, is there sheet music for song referenced on Mainly Norfolk? |

Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: GUEST Date: 27 Jan 22 - 09:57 PM Sorry, I meant the book referenced in this article. https://frontierpartisans.com/13200/following-drum/ The author of the above-referenced article references a book by Humphrey that mentions the song “Following the Drum.” I think the song in Humphrey’s book may more likely be the song found on Norfolk. https://cchumphreys.com/the-birth-of-jack- I hope that is clear. Sorry for the confusion. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: Reinhard Date: 27 Jan 22 - 04:59 AM You've lost me here, guest. Which book is Humphrey's book? Or is it a typo and you meant Fred Hamer's book "Garners Gay" which is the only book that I'm referring to on Mainly Norfolk? |

Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: GUEST Date: 27 Jan 22 - 03:37 AM I read the same web site mentioned above, and also went down a rabbit hole. I did, however find another tune titled Follow the Drum, which might actually be the song referenced in Humphrey’s book (see Mainly Norfolk) as mentioned in the website. I believe the website’s author mixed up the modern song with the older song. The song sung on the show is by Rael Jones, as also mentioned above. https://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/songs/thesoundofthedrum.html |

Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: GUEST,Sunny Date: 27 May 17 - 07:18 PM The song is Following the Drum by Rael Jones. They just uploaded the whole Harlots soundtrack to Spotify. I'm sorry if I couldn't help any further. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: GUEST Date: 27 May 17 - 05:00 PM Did anyone find a recorded version where you could just listen to the whole song without interruption |

Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: GUEST,Alex Date: 28 Apr 17 - 12:11 PM Yes, sorry, I realized too late that I hadn't added my name to my last post. (the post above yours is not from me, I don't know who that's from) I don't think messaging Jones will do much since we're not connected on Facebook, so the message will go to his "Message Requests" inbox, which is rarely seen. I did send an email via a "connect" option on his website. I don't know where that conversation that Guest posted took place, as it's not on Jones' public Facebook wall. It must only be visible to his "friends". |

Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Apr 17 - 04:36 PM Guest, Can you send a Facebook message to Rael Jones and ask her about the song? -Joe- P.S. It helps if you use a consistent name when posting at Mudcat, even though we don't require it. People like to know who they're talking to. Just fill in the "from" box when you post. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: GUEST Date: 24 Apr 17 - 12:39 PM Gotcha, thanks. I had initially looked for her email address, and didn't see anything on the site, but have now found it! Can't believe I missed that. No note of it in the show credits (that I could find). Other than "Music By", which is listed as a Rael Jones, whom I have emailed, but don't have much hope of hearing back from. I will certainly update if I do. I also checked the show's IMDB page, as well as the specific episode's page, and haven't been able to find anything there. The song is sung by one of the regular characters, so I looked up that actress's IMDB page as well, and found nothing. I have also messaged the "Harlots" Facebook page, in case there's any help to be found there. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Apr 17 - 02:54 PM Hi, Alex - Since we're originally/primarily a lyrics site, I try my best to make sure that lyrics are posted for every song we discuss. That's how we've accumulated all the songs we have after these 20 years. I found an email address for the owner of the blog where we found the lyrics. I sent her an email this morning. Let's see what she says. If you have access to the show and can watch it again, check the end of the movie for song credits, and let us know what it says. All the best to you. -Joe Offer, Music Editor, The Mudcat Cafe- |

Subject: RE: Origins: Following The Drum From: GUEST,Alex Date: 21 Apr 17 - 11:29 AM Hi Joe- Thank you, yes, that is the webpage that I mentioned as being the only place I could find reference to the song. The site lists a bunch of other songs, and this is what is written as an intro to the song list: "Long Ago Love Songs is a collection of love songs and dancing songs from the past. They are all set in the British Isles, and the periods range from mediaeval to 19th Century. " I can't find any contact info for the writer of the page, to check with them about where they found the song. But they seem to be saying that it is traditional. And yes, that's the episode of the show that I watched. I can watch the episode anytime I want on Hulu, so I can hear the song again. I was just hoping that there was an actual recording or something of the whole song that I could access. There is not even a soundtrack from the show available (maybe there will be eventually...it is a new show). |

Subject: ADD: Following The Drum (Songwriter ???) From: Joe Offer Date: 21 Apr 17 - 01:04 AM I found the lyrics here: http://sallyodgers.50megs.com/lalsdrum.htm. I'm guessing that it's not a traditional song, but I have no clue as to the origins of the song. I did find a script for Episode 1 of Harlots that makes mention of an excerpt of the song:
FOLLOWING THE DRUM (songwriter???) Oh, once I slept in a feather bed With woolen blankets warm Now I'm glad to lay my head On a cloak that's old and torn Oh, sing with me a merry catch As summer days will come My love he is a soldier boy And so I'm following the drum. With a patter patter tat And a rattle and a scrap And the beat of the marching song I'm ragged and worn And my hose are torn- Yet I am following along. Oh once I ate from a silver plate With sauces rich and rare Now I'm glad if I'm not too late To find some bread to share Oh sup with me on a scraggy fowl And dream of sugar plums My love he is a soldier boy And so I'm following the drum. With a patter patter tat And a rattle and a scrap And the beat of the marching song I'm ragged and worn And my hose are torn- Yet I am following along. Oh once I wore a silken shawl And a bonnet of ribbon trim Now I'm glad if I'm clad at all 'Twixt my ankles and my chin. Oh sew with me in a sturdy stitch And do not prick your thumb My love he is a soldier boy And so I'm following the drum. With a patter patter tat And a rattle and a scrap And the beat of the marching song I'm lame and tired before my time But still I follow him along. Oh, I'm lame and tired but I still smile- And still I follow him along. |

Subject: Origins: Following The Drum From: GUEST,Alex Date: 20 Apr 17 - 11:02 PM I was watching the tv show "Harlots", and someone sang the song "Following the Drum". (Once I slept in a feather bed with blankets woven warm/woolen blankets warm, etc.) Anyone know where I can find a recording or anything? I'm getting only one site with lyrics when I google. Can't find any info about the song either. Is it traditional? Is it British? It's a lovely song, why can't I find anything about it?? |
