Subject: Chords Req: Loving Hannah From: Steve Walker Date: 07 Nov 98 - 10:51 AM Dear me! No success whatsoever! I've tried rec.music.folk and rec,music.folk.tablature. I've searched the web. I've searched Deja News. No Joy. I've now found that the song I'm looking for is called "Loving Hannah", that it is very similar to "Irish Girl" and "The Bonny Irish Maid", and that it is a variant of "Handsome Molly"? Any ideas about the music? Please :-) |

Subject: chords req: Loving Hannah From: Alice Date: 07 Nov 98 - 11:48 AM Steve, start a new thread titled "Loving Hannah". There have been several threads in the past about "Will the Circle be Unbroken", so you will have better luck starting over with the song title you really need. good luck I know a tune to a song "The Irish Girl", don't know if it is what you are looking for. alice |

This lead me to http://singout.org/ This site lists the song in one of the back issues. The site also has information on how to order back issues. Sorry, but this is the best I can do at this time.

Subject: chords req: Loving Hannah From: Steve Date: 07 Nov 98 - 01:05 PM Alice; There's a song in the archive which goes:
As I walked out one morning down by the river's side
I went to Church last Sunday, my love he passed me by Is it that one? Loving Hannah is very, very similar, and also Handsome Molly, of which it is a variant. I will follow your advice, and start a new thread. Cheers, Steve |

Subject: RE: Loving Hannah From: Alice Date: 12 Nov 98 - 11:16 AM Joe, I'm glad you pointed out that this is in Jean Ritchie's songbook as well as Folk Songs of North America by Lomax. I have both books, but didn't think to look there. It is not the same tune as the tune I know to the Irish Girl, (as steve referred to in his first thread on this song).
Steve, I found the recording of the Irish Girl, with the slow sad tune similar to Circle be Unbroken. I don't know if you will be able to find this tape... but it's a good one. It is of anonymous singers, unprofessional, and the song is sung by an old Irishman. It is called simply, "Irish Folk Songs" and was in the bargain rack for about $6.US. It is made in Candada, the cassette has written on it, Excelsior International, Distributed by the Madacy Music Group, Inc, P.O. Box 1445, St-Laurent Quebec, Canada H4L 4Z1. Songs listed are, B is for Barney, All Around the Loney-O, Green Gravel, The Doffin Mistress, The Maid of Ballydoo, I Know My Love, The Dark Eyed Gypsy, Will Ye Go Lassie Go, Tis Pretty to be In Ballinderry, Cruise of the Calabar, As I Roved Out, The Wee Falorie Man, Rockin the Cradle, I'll Tell My Ma, I Wish I Was A Maid Again, The Gallant Forty-Twa, Early Early All In The Spring, When I Was Single,
The Irish Girl
Fan-A-Winnow, Three Grey Geese (and other children's tunes), See Saw (and other children's tunes), and Sally Go Round the Moon (and other children's tunes). alice in montana |

Subject: RE: Loving Hannah From: Martin Ryan Date: 12 Nov 98 - 04:43 PM Alice I thought that track listing sounded familiar! I have a Tradition CD reissue ("I am the Wee Falorie Man") of an album by Davy Hammond, of Northern Ireland, originally issued in 1959. It's identical! Only himself and and guitar though.Could it be him?
Regards |
|
Subject: RE: Loving Hannah From: Alice Date: 12 Nov 98 - 04:52 PM Yes, Martin, it is an old man with some guitar accompaniment, and then at the end of the tape, there is a woman and some children singing the last songs. Thank you, thank you, for putting a name to it! I thought it was a shame that they sold the tape without giving credit to who recorded the songs.
The Wee Falorie Man title would certainly jog the memory of his voice. Alice |

Subject: RE: Loving Hannah From: Felipa Date: 14 May 03 - 12:58 PM It's sort of strange how we got from Loving Hannah to Davy Hammond and Irish songs, but there is a link between Loving Hannah and Irish singers. Mary Black recorded Loving Hannah on a 1983 album simply called "Mary Black" (the Dara label,). She got the song from Davy Brennan of Rathline, Co Longford, Ireland. (and by the way, I was talking with Davy Hammond last month. He is a film producer and was at the Celtic Film Festival in Belfast, Co Antrim. And May weekend he was scheduled to introduce a concert with Packy Manus Byrne in Ardara, Co Donegal, but I wasn't there) |

Subject: RE: Loving Hannah From: Joe Offer Date: 14 May 03 - 01:13 PM A number of songs are connected to this one. Here's the entry from the Traditional Ballad Index. -Joe Offer- Farewell Ballymoney (Loving Hannah; Lovely Molly)DESCRIPTION: "Oh, meeting is a pleasure between my love and I; I'll go down to yon low valley to meet her by and by...." The young (man) watches his love turn away from him. He laments her infidelity. (He departs from the town and goes to America)AUTHOR: unknown EARLIEST DATE: 1909 (Joyce) KEYWORDS: courting separation emigration FOUND IN: Ireland Australia US(Ap,SE,So) Canada(Newf) Britain(England(Lond)) REFERENCES (9 citations): Randolph 749, "Black-Eyed Mary" (1 text plus an excerpt, 2 tunes) BrownII 82, "The Lover's Lament" (4 texts plus a fragment, "E," that is probably "Handsome Molly") Meredith/Anderson, p. 172, "Lovely Molly" (1 text, 1 tune) Sharp/Karpeles-80E 44, "The Irish Girl" (1 text, 1 tune, a confused and conflate mix of this song and "The Irish Girl") SHenry H625, pp. 342-343, "Dark-Eyed Molly"; H615, p. 343, "Farewell Ballymoney" (2 texts, 2 tunes) Kennedy 155, "Going to Mass Last Sunday" (1 text, 1 tune) MacSeegTrav 63, "I Went to Mass on Sunday" (1 text, 1 tune) Lomax-FSNA 103, "Loving Hannah" (1 text, 1 tune) DT, LOVHANNA CROSS-REFERENCES: cf. "In Eighteen-Forty-Nine" (floating lyrics) cf. "Dark and Dreary Weather" (floating lyrics) cf. "Handsome Molly" cf. "The Irish Girl" (floating lyrics) cf. "The Blazing Star of Drum (Drim, Drung)" (theme) cf. "I've Travelled This Country (Last Friday Evening)" (floating lyrics) ALTERNATE TITLES: Courting is a Pleasure Notes: The setting of this song varies widely. One stanza, however, is fairly characteristic: I went to church last Sunday, (this line may vary) My true love passed me by; I could see her mind was a-changing By the rolling of her eye. Unfortunately, this stanza also shows up in some versions of "The Irish Girl"; these two songs seem to have mixed badly I believe the old-time country song "Handsome Molly" to be a form of this piece (and most experts agree), but it has achieved such a degree of independent circulation that it is listed in the Index as a separate song. - RBW File: R749 Go to the Ballad Search form The Ballad Index Copyright 2003 by Robert B.

Subject: DTADD: The Irish Girl From: Joe Offer Date: 14 May 03 - 01:54 PM Here's the entry from Sharp/Karpeles, Eighty English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. Wish I had the whole book, instead of this condensation. Not the Ballad Index entry above, which says this is a confused and conflate mix of this song and "The Irish Girl." -Joe Offer- THE IRISH GIRL As I walked out one May morning Down by the riverside I cast my eyes around me And an Irish girl I spied. Her cheeks were red and rosy And coal-black was her hair. How costly were the jewels That Irish girl did wear. As I walked out that May morning My true love passing by, I knew her mind was changing By the movement of her eyes. O don't you now remember, love, When you gave me your right hand, You vowed if you got married That I should be the man. I wish I were a butterfly, I'd fly to my love's nest; I wish I were a linnet, I'd sing my love to rest. I wish I were a nightingale, I'd sing to the morning clear; I'd hold you in my arms, my love, The girl I love so dear. Sung by Mrs. Frances Richards at St. Peter's School, Callaway, Virginia. The last two stanzas are taken from an English version noted by Cecil Sharp in somerset. |

Subject: RE: Chords Req: Loving Hannah From: Virginia Blankenhorn Date: 19 May 03 - 09:47 AM A song called "The New Irish Girl" in Colm Ó Lochlainn's "More Irish Street Ballads" is clearly a variant of the above text. Virginia BTW, the "David Brennan" mentioned in Felipa's post above was indeed Mary Black's source for "Loving Hannah." David is my husband; he's also a mudcat member, so watch what you say about him! |

Subject: RE: Chords Req: Loving Hannah From: Murray MacLeod Date: 12 Oct 09 - 05:11 AM there are very few songs which I consider it sacrilegious to put a guitar accompaniment to, but this is one of them. do it unaccompanied, or not at all, imo. |
|
Subject: RE: Chords Req: Loving Hannah From: The Sandman Date: 12 Oct 09 - 07:08 AM sorry, I disagree with you. |
|
Subject: RE: Chords Req: Loving Hannah From: Tattie Bogle Date: 12 Oct 09 - 07:40 AM I agree with Murray: it lends itself to great vocal harmony, but I wouldn't want to accompany it with any instrument. (And Murray is a very accomplished guitarist, so he's not saying it because he doesn't play one!) |
|
Subject: RE: Chords Req: Loving Hannah From: The Sandman Date: 12 Oct 09 - 08:38 AM have a listen to the version Nic Jones recorded. there are some songs that are better unaccompanied[but thats my opinion] but IMO not this one,for example I wouldnt accompany the Factory girl,or Tam Lin,BUT IN MY OPINION this one works well both ways. its not a question of Murrays abilty ,its a question of personal taste,and what pisses me off are people that go around saying this must be done this way or that. when the song is sung unaccompanied it is sung differently,not necessarily better but different,it depends on the singer and their abilities. granted,singing unaccompanied gives the chance to sing more freely,but I have heard some awful turgid unaccompanied versions of this song,with people dragging out the chorus[ala Les Paisley]. Jean Ritchie does a good version on youtube,I have a feeling she used to do it with dulcimer. I must pm her ,and check if it is my memory playing tricks. |
|
Subject: RE: Chords Req: Loving Hannah From: Pistachio Date: 12 Oct 09 - 11:44 AM Beautiful song - I just listened to Mary Black while checking the link above and,in my opinion, she adjusts her timing to the guitarist rather than it following or taking the lead from her! I heard it sung in Whitby this summer by Jimmy Hutchison - wow, spine tingling. Hazel. |
|
Subject: RE: Chords Req: Loving Hannah From: The Sandman Date: 12 Oct 09 - 01:13 PM yes, her version is interesting because it illustrates how differently people sing unaccompanied to accompanied,she uses more ornamentation when singing unaccompanied,but the down side is lack of harmony. both ways are good they are just different. mary blacks accompanist[although good]should have been more freer at the beginning,or is it Marys fault for alowing herself to be pulled to the rhythym of the guitar,more assertion needed . |

Subject: RE: Chords Req: Loving Hannah From: GUEST,Tadhgín Date: 27 Sep 10 - 07:53 AM Was trying to find these chords online and realised that there are quite a few in the same boat so I decided to work them out. This is the chords as played in the Mary Black version of the song on youtube. An open tuning is used but these are the basic chords. Use capo on 1st fret if u need it to be the same key as the mary black version! Hope this helps Enjoy - its a great song! G I went to church on Sunday G/B C My love, she passed me by Am C [bassline B-A-G]G I knew her mind was cha-ng-ing G/B D By the roving of her eye G By the roving of her eye G/B C By the roving of her eye Am C [B-A-G] G I knew her mind was changing G/B D By the roving of her eye Its the same for the rest of the song... |
