Date: 16 Apr 17 - 07:42 PM Willie Nelson did a cover of this song in the movie 'Once Upon a Texas Train' Only the last verse was a little different. Bluebird died of the whooping cough red bird died of the colic jaybird sat on a huckleberry stump just to gather in the frolic |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Go Home with the Girls in the Morning From: GUEST,Mike Iverson Date: 29 Mar 11 - 03:39 PM Leonard Coulson sang this nice variation with the Deseret String Band way back in the 70s. When I was a younger man, Come and hear my story Sang and danced the whole night long Came home with the girls in the morning Come on Grandpa, sing your song Come and tell your story Tell us how you danced all night Came home with the girls in the morning Had a dream the other night Thought I was in glory Sang and danced the whole night long Came home with the girls in the morning If you don't have all the Deseret String Band's CD, you should; they were a GREAT band...

Subject: RE: LYR ADD: GO HOME WITH THE GIRLS INTHE MORNING From: GUEST Date: 31 Mar 03 - 05:01 PM I don't want your weevily wheat I don't want your barley I want some flour and a half an hour To bake a cake for Charley. [...] Take her by the lily-white hand Lead her like a pigeon Make her dance to weevily wheat And scatter her religion. [...] This is the version I know from my father. Note the similarity in the last verse to the Scottish tune Roses Up and Roses Down: "Take her by the lily-white hand Lead her 'cross the water Give her kisses one, two, three Cos she's a lady's daughter".

Subject: RE: LYR ADD: GO HOME WITH THE GIRLS INTHE MORNING From: Dick Wisan Date: 21 Mar 98 - 07:40 PM Susan, Just went looking for Weevily Wheat, but something's missing. The version I know has some of the same verses, but it also has a chorus:
Weevily wheat, my true love's posy blowin'.
[BTW, while I'm writing, anybody know what "posy blowing" means?]
There's a variant, built on "wheat-in-the-ear" instead of "weevily wheat". I'm not too clear about it, but it should contain a chorus with the last two lines of that chorus in it. There's a version of that in Kipling's _Captains_Courageous_, but it isn't recognizably singable to the "bake a cake for Charley" tune. Possibly Kipling made it up, but other songs in that book seem genuine. Couldn't find anything under [fit for sowin] in the DT. More words, anybody? |

Subject: RE: LYR ADD: GO HOME WITH THE GIRLS INTHE MORNING From: Barbara Date: 20 Mar 98 - 01:43 AM Thank you Gene for the lyrics and everyone for the info. It's a popular guitar/fiddle/mandolin piece with the folks I play with, so now we can work it up as a vocal. Thanks again. Barb |
Subject: RE: LYR ADD: GO HOME WITH THE GIRLS INTHE MORNING From: Date: 17 Mar 98 - 10:29 PM BRUCE/BMI lists the writers for:
GO HOME WITH THE GIRLS IN THE MORNING
As: DUNCAN, TOMMY/WILLS, BOB; Publishers; UNICHAPPELL MUSIC INC
If you have the lyrics for the songs you mentioned, wonder if you'd mind posting them? I didn't see any except for an unfamiliar OVER THE WATER in the DataBase. Even those don't seem to resemble those of the GO HOME WITH THE GIRLS IN THE MORNING.

Subject: RE: LYR ADD: GO HOME WITH THE GIRLS INTHE MORNING From: Gene Date: 17 Mar 98 - 07:50 PM Don't rightly know WHERE it came from, just know that both Bob Wills and Clyde Brewer and the River Road Boys each recorded the same version...as posted! |
Subject: RE: LYR ADD: GO HOME WITH THE GIRLS INTHE MORNING From: Bruce O. Date: 17 Mar 98 - 05:46 PM Where's that 3rd verse come from? We have verses from "The Bathing Song" (1908), "Over the Water to Charlie", "Jaybird Song", and "Johnny and Molly's Garland". |
Subject: RE: LYR ADD: GO HOME WITH THE GIRLS INTHE MORNING From: Gene Date: 17 Mar 98 - 12:07 PM Received this from Wm./K. He says it sounds like this to him:
Jaybird died with the whoopin' cough Parrot died with the colic 'Long came a Redbird sittin' on a (*PIG) Flyin' on down to the (*FROLICS) CHORUS
