Subject: RE: Rose, rose, rose, rose From: Kathleen Date: 09 Jul 98 - 02:11 PM This song is an old English round about the War of the Roses, but I know different words. Some of the words might not be original, because I learned it through Girl Scouts:
Rose, rose, rose, rose,
Ding, dong, ding, dong I think there is another verse, but I can't remember it just now. Questions: mollyringo@hotmail.com |

Subject: RE: Rose, rose, rose, rose From: harpgirl Date: 10 Jul 98 - 06:20 PM Kathleen, Do you suppose that Gertrude Stein, in her lovely love poem to Alice, "Sacred Emily" lifted that line from the English round?
"Night town. I do love Gertrude, but it is definitely an acquired taste...harpgirl |

Subject: RE: Rose, rose, rose, rose From: Joe Offer Date: 10 Jul 98 - 07:02 PM Hi, Harpgirl - I always thought Gertrude Stein's line referred to this quote from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet What's in a name? That which we call a rose-Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Rose, rose, rose, rose From: GUEST,Koi Date: 07 Sep 06 - 08:31 PM Intaresting. I always thought the lyrics were: Rose, rose, rose, rose, Will I ever see thee wed? I will marry at thy will sire, When thou art dead. And to whoever asked, the tune to it is: C sharp | Rose B | Rose C sharp | Rose G Sharp (first below the C) | Rose C sharp | Will I D sharp | ever E | see F sharp to E | thee D Sharp | wed G sharp (first above the C) | I will F Sharp | Marry E | at F Sharp to E | thy D Sharp | will G Sharp (first below C) | sire C Sharp | When B | thou D Sharp | art C Sharp | dead Hope that helped |

Subject: RE: Rose, rose, rose, rose From: GUEST Date: 07 Sep 06 - 08:34 PM Oh, just saw another thing. I forgot that I don't sing the line "I will marry at thy will sire" like that, I sing it with another word change: "I will marry at thy will sir." |

Subject: RE: Rose, rose, rose, rose From: GUEST Date: 12 Jan 07 - 11:58 PM I learned another verse in Girl Scouts a couple of years ago. I think this is how it goes. Peace peace peace peace wars will come and wars will cease We must learn to live together Peace peace peace |

Subject: RE: Rose, rose, rose, rose From: GUEST,Former Scout Date: 26 Jan 07 - 06:41 AM The camps for scouts teach three verses: Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose - will I ever see thee wed? I will marry at thy will, sire, at thy will. Ding, dong, ding, dong - wedding bells on an April morn. Carve your name on a moss covered stone, on a moss covered stone. Peace, Peace, Peace, Peace - wars will end and wars will begin. I will never fight again, no, never fight again. To do it in a round with about one hundred people gives the song an eerie quality. There are other verses (because the Renaissance people said so) and it's based off of an old Spanish sailing song. There, of course, are different interpretations of the songs that have changed over the years. Hope that's all helpful! |

Subject: RE: Rose, rose, rose, rose From: GUEST,Joel Date: 18 Sep 15 - 04:29 AM Many of these come from a common mistranscribed version caused by mishearing old English words. The lyrics originally are: Rose, rose, rose, rose Shalt I ever see thee red? Aye, marry, that thou wilt An thoult but stay In this older version, the word "marry" is used in the archaic meaning of "indeed". The word "an" is old English for "if". Clearly as language changes, people lost the old meaning of "marry" and so "red" becomes "wed" as it seems more logical if a marriage is the topic of conversation. So the song was originally about a flower blooming, and if the singer paused a while, they might see it. But songs (and language) change over time through the oral tradition. Thought you might be interested in an older version. Cheers, Joel |
