Subject: ADD: Ballad of Julie Ann (part) From: GUEST Date: 18 Dec 01 - 06:16 PM Main thread on Julianne, with lyrics (click)I am looking for the complete lyrics of a song I learned at Girl Scout Camp Marapai in Arizona in the mid-1960's. Can anyone fill in the blanks for me? Here are a couple of verses:He said, I am just a poor boy Gold and money have I none But I'll take silver from the mountains And I'll fashion you a ring Off he rode into the shadows When the fields were wet with dew But instead he went a-roving And he courted Jennie Lou. Have you seen her in the moonlight? Silver rings upon her hand Now she wears a crown of sorrow And her name, and her name is Julie Ann Cabin door was standing open On that dark and windy night And her hound dog lay a-dying In the lonesome firelight. |

Subject: RE: Ballad of Julie Ann From: Joe Offer Date: 18 Dec 01 - 07:10 PM There's a recording of this on The Definitive New Christy Minstrels, attributed to Randy Sparks. The album attributes lots of traditional songs to Sparks, so it's hard to tell if this might be one he actually wrote. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Ballad of Julie Ann From: Sorcha Date: 18 Dec 01 - 07:54 PM Wrong?? Wrong?? OMIGAWD, I am crushed, just crushed....well, now at least I can say "I was wrong once" (grin). That is just the first thing that came up and I was short of time. Thanks, Joe! |

Subject: RE: Ballad of Julie Ann From: GUEST,Julie in Texas Date: 09 Oct 03 - 01:12 PM My dad used to sing this song to me every night before I went to bed...after he married a new wife, I no longer lived with him. After all these years he can not seem to remember all of the tune to Julie Ann and I would love to be able to find it for him. If you have any information as to where I can get this Christy Minstrels recording I would appriciate it. |
Subject: RE: Ballad of Julie Ann From: Joe Offer Date: 09 Oct 03 - 01:29 PM Hi, Julie - "Julianne" is on the "Tall Tales" album, and also on a very nice collection called "The Definitive New Christy Minstrels." Both are available from Collectors' Choice Music, http://www.ccmusic.com. Amazon also has them. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Ballad of Julie Ann From: GUEST,mary in Oregon Date: 02 Aug 09 - 02:38 PM found it on both amazon and I-tunes as just "Julie Anne" by Due West trio. Brought back so many memories! |
Subject: RE: Ballad of Julie Ann From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 03 Aug 09 - 12:02 PM Randy Sparks did write the song. I heard him do it in Fresno, CA, years and years ago as a solo. The Minstrels recorded it. He had a knack for what I would call "adaptive" songs, of which this is one of his best, I believe. He also wrote "Today," from the forgettable film, "Advance to the Rear." He got his start in the business at about the time Terry Gilkyson's Easy Riders were making the charts with "Marianne." I pick up some similarities in their writing styles. Maybe it's just me? |
Subject: RE: Ballad of Julie Ann From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 03 Aug 09 - 01:46 PM Any relation to the Jean Ritchie "Julie Ann"? |
