Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sally Lee From: GUEST Date: 26 Apr 13 - 02:48 PM Great song, but the second line is wrong - should be: Wi' nae hat and nae shaal.... |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sally Lee From: Joe Offer Date: 26 Apr 13 - 07:45 PM ...or, Guest, could it be that you know a different version? Can you cite your sources and post complete lyrics and information for the version you know? I admit, though, that "nae hat and nae shaal" makes a lot more sense. I wonder if "me" instead of "nae" is an OCR error. Conrad, can you check this and cite your sources? I couldn't find this song anywhere. -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sally Lee From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 26 Apr 13 - 08:09 PM The version sung here Northumbria Anthology has nae hat and nae shaal Mick |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sally Lee From: GUEST,Liz Date: 27 Apr 13 - 06:04 AM I seem to remember the Wilson Family singing it on an album years ago with Benny Graham and Jim Mageean, cannot remember the name of it but I'm sure I still have it somewhere. Great songs about 'Women of the Tyne'.... |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sally Lee From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 27 Apr 13 - 06:08 AM The songs was in Joe Wilson's Tyneside Songs and Drolleries, maybe someone with a copy can check the words there. Mick |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sally Lee From: BrendanB Date: 27 Apr 13 - 06:32 AM Come all ye bonny tyneside lads and listen to me song Its all aboot a canny lass a lass I've courted long She's a regular travelling merchant and sells herring, sticks and clay Or anything else in season there's nowt gans out the way It's a good job Sally wasn't born a duchess or a queen For then I'd be left all forlorn me lass she'd never have been But Sally's old folks had more sense than choose a high degree Besides making her to suit themselves they made her to suit me. It's usually sung in a more dialect-heavy way than I have written it here. I agree that it should be 'nae hat and nae shawl' in the chorus. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sally Lee From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 27 Apr 13 - 07:35 AM What's your source for that version Brendan? Mick |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sally Lee From: BrendanB Date: 27 Apr 13 - 01:25 PM I've just got it recorded as 'trad.' The version I have was arranged by a guy called Graham Stacey for a folk choir in the North East. It is written for three parts and intended for male voices. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sally Lee From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 27 Apr 13 - 05:24 PM Thanks for the info Brendan. Mick |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Sally Lee From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 28 Apr 13 - 01:19 PM Joe Wilson said he used the tune of "Knickerbocker Line" for his "Sally Lee." Song not included in Allan's Tyneside Songs. Joe Wilson's words would be appreciated. |
