Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: GUEST,Fezzik Date: 06 Jul 11 - 08:39 AM Hi GentleGiant, re the song "The White Cockade": the lyrics you have posted are of an English song, possibly dating to the mid 1700s. There's a Scottish song of this name by Robert Burns, which became popular in America and generates far more Googurls when you go searching online. Regarding the English song, check out http://www.yorkshirefolksong.net/song_database/Parting/The_White_Cockade.16.aspx "Unlike many broadside ballads of the period it doesn't appear to have been carried abroad from the British Isles, and in fact only survived in oral tradition in Yorkshire, Durham and the south coast counties." |

Subject: ADD Version: The White Cockade From: GUEST,Gentle Gaint Date: 18 Aug 10 - 08:51 AM Does anyone know the origin of a folk song called "The White Cockade". It's one of my favorites. THE WHITE COCKADE One day as I was walking all o'er yon fields of moss, I had no thoughts of enlisting till some soldiers did me cross, They kindly did invite me to a flowing ball and down, They advanced, they advanced me some money, A shilling from the crown. My true love he is handsome and he wears a white cockade, He is a handsome young man, likewise a roving blade, He is a handsome young man, he's gone to serve the King, Oh my very, oh my very, Heart is aching all the love of him. My true love he is handsome and comely for to see, And by a sad misfortune a soldier now is he, I wish the man that's listed him might prosper night nor day, And I wish that, I wish that, The hollanders might sink him in the sea. Then he took out his hankerchief to wipe my flowing eye, Leave off your lamentations likewise your mournful sighs, Leave off your grief and sorrow until I march o'er yon plain, We'll be married, we'll be married, In the springtime when I return again. My true love he is listed and it's all for him I'll rove, I'll write his name on every tree that grows in yonder grove, My poor heart it does hallow, how my poor heart it does cry, To remind me, to remind me, Of my ploughboy, until the day I die. |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Alien Dave Date: 09 Jan 06 - 08:41 PM Amazing! It may have been the somethingArms pub where they've got lots of information about ancient Biddenden, and I'm sure it's down there that they state the name 'den' comes from the unusual burial practice A song about that would be even better, can't recall Maddy Prior or Linda Thompson singing one..... |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Paul Burke Date: 09 Jan 06 - 07:31 AM Apart from Cladh Hallan, that is... |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Paul Burke Date: 09 Jan 06 - 06:15 AM I don't think any mummies have been found anywhere at all in British archaeology, though I'd be more than pleased to be proved wrong. The -den suffix generally means a valley, except IIRC in Kent, where it refers to a woodland pig pasture. I'm not sure that either vallys, mummies or pigs have very much to do with English folksong. Any songs about a mummy? |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: GUEST,DB Date: 09 Jan 06 - 04:48 AM I have always believed that the suffix '-den' has something to do with pigstys! |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: GUEST,David Moncoeur, ravemoncoeur@yahoo.co.uk Date: 08 Jan 06 - 08:36 PM That message above missed out my effort to type in my email address, it won't take 'is greater than' signs Groups like Steel Eye Span made me very interested in English folk songs Yours truly, Dave |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: GUEST,David Moncoeur Date: 08 Jan 06 - 08:23 PM This response is being typed in Edinburgh by someone who has lived in Edinburgh all his life, though events have caused me to visit Biddenden a few times for investigative reasons and am looking at these posts for the same reason.....it wouldn't be that one of your questions can be answered because of this The suffix 'den' came across to me as relating to the archaeological discovery of tombs with mummies, enbalmed & wrapped etcetera, cultural difference being that the tombs separated male & female, one side for males on bunk-like structures, the other side for females in exactly the same structure cannot recall right now how many thousands of years old they were, wasn't it thought strange that something similar to the Egyptian phenomenon had been practiced? Am struggling to recall whether they were just one thousand years old, though.....these may have been called 'dens', thus the den suffix arises from the peculiar nature of the burial practice. All the best from |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: GUEST,Lindsey Date: 11 Sep 05 - 12:12 PM Going back to the sings from Somerset (where i happen to live at the moment), Folk South West (based in Montecute, Somerset), teamed up with the River Parrett Trail Partnership, to create a lovely Tape of music it contains the following- God speed the plough, 1907 (these are dates collected) From riches to poverty, 1904 Low lowlands of Holland, 1905 Tarpaulin jacket, 1905 Female cabin boy,1905 The Rover,1905 Whistle, daughter, whistle, 1906 Draggletail gypsies, 1904 Bridgwater fair, 1906 (bridgwater is spelt correctly) Pride of Kildare, 1905 Come all jolly fellows, that follow the plough, King George,1904 Once I courted, 1904 I wish I never had known, 1904 Ratcliffe Highway, 1906 Farewell he, 1904 New Year song, 1909 The deserter, 1906 I kept a pack of hounds, 1908 Song of the River Parrett These are mainly songs from when cecil sharp visited the area in and after 1903. And the songs were recreated using his original manuscripts using local people (with accents!). It has a lovely version of whistle, daughter, whistle, and so i copied off it off the tape on listen on CD in my car(not fun). Hope this helps. Anyone know of any yorkshire/northumberland equivalents? Thanks Oh and big thanks to Alison, for saving me typing out the words again, after i lost my first lot due to a computer crash! |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: John C. Date: 12 Dec 04 - 04:17 PM Thanks, Ed. I asked the question in this thread because earlier in it there was a discussion of celtic place names and such like - which led to a discussion of suffixes such as '-den' - so, as the 'Il'thing has been bugging me lately I just thought I'd chuck it in and see what would happen (opportunism, I suppose you'd call it). |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Ed. Date: 12 Dec 04 - 01:23 PM Interesting question, John C, though I don't quite understand why you chose to ask it in this thread... Anyway, a quick search would suggest that there's no simple answer to your question. For example, according to this site Ilkeston was probably founded in the 6th century AD and gets its name from it supposed founder, Elch or Elcha who was an Anglian chieftan ("Elka's Tun" = Elka's Town). Ilminster and Ilchester appear to have been named due to their proximity to the River Ile |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: John C. Date: 12 Dec 04 - 10:49 AM To all you place names experts out there - anyone know where the prefix 'Il' comes from - as in Ilminster, Ilchester, Ilkley, Ilford etc.? |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Penny Date: 29 Mar 99 - 11:57 AM Funny the way people will keep building on springs, isn't it? Despite the locals who draw their attention to the problems. There was a school built in Folkestone on one, and they kept on having to re-lay the concrete floor. I don't know what happened in the end, but it is a very folk-story sort of situation, like all those churches the Devil used to make fall down in the night. And the piers for the Round Hill Tunnel above Holy Well, well, I always go by the old road between Folkestone and Dover. Nearly wrote Filkestone. That would make it science fiction, wouldn't it. The locals in this case were spoken to nicely by the engineers in suits when the politicians were there, but treated like ignorant peasants in their absence. This of course was all MT's doing (see above). She absolutely had to ruin that site. |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: AlistairUK Date: 29 Mar 99 - 08:21 AM Penny: It is hence the name Leagrave. Actually there's quites a substantial river in Leagrave itself, but if you go upstream a couple of miles it's small streams and marshes (hence the name Marsh Farm of the council estate) and springs that have been built over in the last 50 years or so. The area is absolutely riddled with marshes and streams. Unfortunately (according to my sources back home) the place is now even more urbanised that when I left it 6 years ago. At one side of the town is a bluff that leads to farmland that is a pretty good example of stepped agriculture, the steps that the (bronze age?) farmers cultivated are really visible eevn today. Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember the name of the locale. The villages around about have some really interesting names, like Stretely and Offely which are on the way out of Luton to the east going towards hitchin. the place where I went to high school was called Challney, which derives from "Chal Nez"the name that the local french gave to the name centuries ago because of the big knob of chalk that the are is. So there you go, a faulty history of my home town that has probably bored the pants off of everyone. |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: The Shambles Date: 27 Mar 99 - 01:36 PM On the subject of Margaret Thatcher, thre was a headline in the papers this morning about her visit to General Pinochet. RIGHT-WING DICTATOR MEETS GENERAL PINOCHET |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Penny Date: 27 Mar 99 - 03:46 AM I didn't know that that was where the Lea rose. That makes it the place where the Danelagh boundary left Watling Street to go east along the river, doesn't it? And a separate aside: I was looking up legends about the Milky Way for a Children's University astronomy class, and it gave a Saxon name for it as Watling Street. I don't know the source for this, and its derivation from a mythological king, but it's an interesting and romantic thought for those of us living alongside it. |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: AlistairUK Date: 26 Mar 99 - 01:56 PM Thanks for correcting my confusion. The dene connection sounds abot right as there are two valleys there. One in which the smalll village of Batford is situated and as you go up the hill from batford you crest and go over into Harpenden. It's interesting that the harpen- part means army way, though watling street (the A1 as is) does actually go through Harpenden but is a few miles west of it. Another thing, on the edge of one of the roughest council estates in Luton there is an old Iron age fort, for some reason it has survived all that the local trailbikers could throw at it (at least that was until 6 years ago when I left the UK). The estate is called Marsh Farm and the sources of the river Lea are quite close to where, the earthworks are. The area adjacent is called Leagrave. |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Penny Date: 26 Mar 99 - 07:22 AM Or much else, apart from pleasing the wrong sort of people. I don't mind new coinage, honest! Quite enjoy it, really. No heavy sarcasm intended at all. Keep minting. |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: The Shambles Date: 25 Mar 99 - 06:50 PM Sorry Penny the joke was just an after thought, I should have thought a bit more. It was the question that I wanted an answer to, as Margaret Thatcher didn't appear to know the answer or much history. |

|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Bert Date: 24 Mar 99 - 05:15 PM it's a heartbreaking story though. |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Penny Date: 24 Mar 99 - 04:25 PM That sounds worth the search, just when I'd learned to walk past secondhand bookshops. Mum used to read Left Book Club books, before my time though. |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Bert Date: 24 Mar 99 - 11:00 AM I recall reading a book on The Peasant's Revolt. It was titled 'An English Heritage' and published by 'The Left Book Club'. I don't remember the author. It tells the story from the Peasants' point of view. I couldn't find any reference to it with a web search but if you can dig up a copy it's well worth reading. Bert. |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Penny Date: 23 Mar 99 - 04:19 PM You might like this one: Harpenden was thought to be "harpers' town", but it seems that was folk etymology ie. wrong. The "den" isn't "denn" pig pasture, but "den" valley, as in names with dene or dean. The first part seems to be herepaeth (that should be a diphthong ae, but I can't access the correct character) which means army way. This is topographical, as Watling Street, the boundary between the Danelagh and that part of England under Wessex rule, runs along a valley (slight, it says), and Roman roads would have been used for military purposes. (The Danelagh boundary also seems to be the boundary between the area with many old churchyard yews, and that where there are very few, in a few defined places. I don't know what this means. Did the Danes set about chopping down all those they found, or did the English confine them to a certain soil type, which did not favour yews? Or nothing.) |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Ian Date: 20 Mar 99 - 03:14 PM Alistair Think you'll find that Harpenden was on the border between the Danelagh and the Western Anglians (Mercia). The Saxon tribes didn't come so far North. |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: AlistairUK Date: 20 Mar 99 - 09:44 AM just found this fascinating thread and had something to add. I was actually born in Harpenden, now I know what the -den stands for what does the Harpen- mean? Also, i was raised in luton and some years ago came across the history of the town and was interested to see that not only was it a highly disputed parish between the Archbishop of St. Albans and vaux Hall but much earlier had been a frontier town between the saxon south and the danelaw to the north. Although the town isn't up to much nowadays, Historically it was a pretty important place...apart from the fact that that the river Lea (at leagrave wheer it springs from) is one of the more important tributaries for the Thames. The area has never had its own folk tradition, or has never kept it up. But a folk band from the town took it upon themselves to write a cycle of songs about the town in a trad vein. Which ended up as a record called 'Strawplait and Old Lace' unfortunately I have completely forgotten the name of the group which is really bad because Graeme the singer and Guitarist was a colleage on the commitee for Luton Folk Club for a number of years. |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Penny Date: 14 Mar 99 - 03:00 AM A lot of the dens have remained just as farm names, so Evenden is probably on the map at that sort of level. It isn't in the place-name books I have, and the English Place Name Society has been working on the Kent book for half a century or so without publishing. However, other places which begin Even are either from a personal name such as Eafa, or what it sounds like, even, a level area. The academics insist you can't sort this out without early examples of the name. Off hand, Tenterden, Benenden, Rolvenden, Biddenden, Bethersden are all even areas, so it would be odd to single one out as being so. Like calling somewhere on the marshes Flatham. And I heard the rock stuff down the grapevine, not from authority. |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Musicman Date: 13 Mar 99 - 09:43 PM Hello Penny, Seems to me that you have a good knowledge about all this history stuff. My ancestors come from Kent, my last name is Evenden, any thoughts on the origin? Musicman |
|
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: j0_77 Date: 13 Mar 99 - 07:13 PM Now Miss Penny surely you don't set much value on establishment evaluations of these things. If as you suggest the stone was replaced by a fake then surely we will never know. Perhaps the people on Art Bell's Web Site may know more about it, I will ask there. If the lore is true then, I *hope* the original rock is safe and well and hidden - perhaps in some very obvious location. I often wondered - Windsor perhaps?? Winchester ?? |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Penny Date: 13 Mar 99 - 06:01 PM Stone of Scone, apparently there's some suggestion in the geological field that, shock, horror, that old bit of red sandstone is not only not from the Middle East, nor from Ireland, but is actually a bit of (whisper this north of Hadrian's Wall) English. But then again, if it was quarried a reasonable time ago, it wouldn't have been, would it? |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Penny Date: 13 Mar 99 - 02:17 PM Hey, I'm not an expert, you know, but I do have books. Cran is usually a crane, as in long-legged feathery thing that stands around by water. We don't have cranes now, but may have had in the past, or they may have meant herons. The Uffington White Horse is the one you mean, I think (the grass doesn't grow because it is regularly "scoured", as are the other hill figures. "(Have you been to Cerne Abbas in Dorset ever? That one is sure to interest some of the contributors here!) There is no known date for most of them, but some work was done on Uffington a couple of years back, and it is much older than Celtic. Arthur was either a Celt, or Romano-Celtic, which may mean the same thing except for the cultural accretions. I know that the Stone of Scone was reputed to be the one which Jacob used as a pillow when he was running from Esau, but, I have to put my geologist's hard-hat on here, it's been identified as a red sandstone of a type found in Scotland. There is such rock quite close to Scone. Then again, I think the identification may have been done after the operation to retrieve it earlier this century, and there has been a suggestion that the one returned recently was a fake, substituted at that time. My personal feeling is that the importance of that stone is not its high and far off past, but that invested in it in the last few hundred years by the Scots, who have quite rightly been given it back. My heart would rather that it had stayed back when seized, rather than been granted. |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: j0_77 Date: 13 Mar 99 - 01:02 PM Hi Penny - Sussex (Grins ...like a cat LOL) I noticed a number of names in the Home Counties with the sound 'cran' I often wondered if there is a history to this or what does it mean? I am here thinking of Cranleigh (Surrey) Cranbourne(Dorset) and some others I can't think of right now. Re: Celts in England There is a thingie (can't now remember it's carrect name) on a hill side in Oxfordshire. It's like a horse, the grass does not grow on the hillside where the image lies so if viewed from a distance you see an enormous 'horse' picture. Is it the case that Aurthur was a Celt? I once, after reading a couple of books on this period, went to Winchester in search of Aurthurian things and was delighted to find many things familiar. The Stone 'o Scone. It was predicted by ancient lore that if the stone was 'rolled over' one more time the world would end. Since it has now been moved back to Scotland do you think that the world will end. Also read somewheres that this stone was given to a celtic like tribe in Israel and it was also originaly a bit of a bigger rock that God had done something to (can't now recall what). Any case the account claimed the Stone was brought to the British Isles by the Scotti (These are NOT the same people as the modern Scottish but are the folk who predate the Celtic Invasions of Ireland, Man etc) The Stone, it went on, remainded in Ireland for a long time before ending up in Scotland. The Tuatha de Dannan King Aiden, it claimed, brought the stone to Scotland. In recent history the Stone was brought from Scotland to England. In this Century the Stone was returned to Edinburgh. Also wish to draw 'your' attention to the interest taken by several 'secret' organisations world wide - in this piece of rock and any writings about it. jo77 |

Subject: RE: English Folk Songs From: Penny Date: 13 Mar 99 - 11:53 AM Shambles - used to live there, in Rolvenden, near Tenterden. It's the south west part, in the east of the Weald, which used to be heavily wooded, abutting on to Sussex, north of Romney Marsh. They were the woodland pastures for pigs. Tenterden belonged to the men of Thanet. The early inhabitants (very vague early, don't know whether this was Jutish or Celtic organisation) used to share out the resources of the county so that every unit had access to the coast for fish and salt, the Downs for wood, and grain growing areas, and so on, so the old boundaries cross the geological ones. Other dens may derive prefixes from personal or tribal names, or natural features. Pete M - should have put NOI on the remarks about the people of Kent. Some of us teachers have a) appallingly heavy humour, and b) a tendency to put forward the bees in our bonnets as fact. Besides which, a part of me is Kentish, but from near London. Bert - I know Seven-Mile lane, and used to drive along it regularly between Rolvenden and Dartford, but I never noticed it was only five. There's a similar survival at Wye, where a straight stretch is called Milecamp, and it is a Roman mile long. More on Tyler. I was wrong about him being in Essex at the start of the rebellion. He came from Colchester, as did Ball, and was in Maidstone when the NW Kent band arrived, as was Ball (in gaol). The Dartford Tyler was another man of the same name, first name John, though, but the confusion was spread by Tom Paine as well as others. Wat was almost certainly in the building trade, as one source uses a medieval word for roofer as his surname, and would have been part of the newly formed Tilers' Gild. One of the books I used included a good many old sources, including a treatment on subsequent uses of the story, and had a passage from the Jack Straw play, as well as some of the songs associated, mostly later, with the rebellion. None of which was, or had been at any time, in the metre of the Cutty Wren, or bore any other resemblance to it. I suspect my song book of economy with its researches. I know it was used in Wesker's "Chips with Everything" as a song of revolution, but I am not sure where the idea came from befoe that. So I think I may have answered my own question there. Unless someone else knows better. |
