30 Mar 09 - 10:24 PM (#2600918) Subject: Lyr Req: Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts From: Alan.Ackerman I had this on a record by Sam Hinton. It said Trad. Arranged by Sam Hinton. So I'm surprised I could not find it here. His title is "Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts", but it might have some other name. I could not find it in Google, either. Various offers to have me join something, but no thanks. Seems like a good way to get my identity stolen. |

You might have the ONLY existing record of this song/tune/lyrics.
I encourage you to listen, write, listen, write....and post it here.
If it is "HAD" as in "once upon a time" but it is gone...(theft, loan, borrowed, bestowed, broken, tossed) do you recall the record label, and era, and format 78/45/33.3.
Sincerely, |

31 Mar 09 - 01:24 AM (#2600997) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts From: Joe Offer The version at Kididdles is closer to the one I know. Sam Hinton's recording is more-or-less the same as that in the Digital Tradition and in Bill's post. The tune of the "Shan't Have Any of Mine" version is just a bit different on the chorus. -Joe- WHOEVER SHALL HAVE SOME GOOD PEANUTS The man who has plenty of good peanuts And giveth his neighbor none He shan't have any of my peanuts When his peanuts are gone He shan't have any of mine He shan't have any of mine He shan't have any of my peanuts When his peanuts are gone The man who has plenty of Soft, sweet soda crackers And giveth his neighbor none He shan't have any of My soft, sweet soda crackers When his soft, sweet soda crackers Are gone He shan't have any of mine He shan't have any of mine He shan't have any of My soft, sweet soda crackers When his soft, sweet soda crackers Are gone The man who has plenty of Good nice French-fried strawberry shortcake And giveth his neighbor none He shan't have any of My nice French-fried strawberry shortcake When his nice French-fried strawberry shortcake Are gone He shan't have any of mine He shan't have any of mine He shan't have any of My nice French-fried strawberry shortcake When his nice french fried strawberry shortcake Are gone |

31 Mar 09 - 09:26 PM (#2601792) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts From: Alan.Ackerman I went and paid iTunes $0.99 for a copy of Sam Hinton's version. The words aren't the same as the above, as it really starts with "Whoever shall have some good peanuts". I guess I will edit-up the above and post it here. I typed Good Peanuts in the search box, yesterday and today, and it didn't find anything -- yet I see it is there from the link above. Why doesn't the search here work? I didn't find it in Google, either. It also shows a picture of a CD by Sam Hinton, also called "Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts", so it isn't that rare. I don't know if that was the record I had or not. |

31 Mar 09 - 09:46 PM (#2601806) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts From: Joe Offer Hi, Alan- Yeah, the Sam Hinton song is a bit different, but not different enough to warrant my getting up the gumption to post it. If you'd like to post it, that would be a nice contribution. I quit when I found the 1909 version, figuring that was a real coup. Smithsonian/Folkways reissued the Sam Hinton "Peanuts" album a few years ago - 2006, I think. I don't see any problem with the search. Good Peanuts and good peanuts brings up the Digital Tradition song right away, but not this thread. Thread indexing is dependent on a separate index, which is updated periodically. -Joe- |

01 Apr 09 - 11:42 AM (#2602272) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts From: Bill D ahhh...different versions, and variations upon versions rear their heads! So will it always be. *grin* I know, (as you see in my post that Joe Offer resurrected) that *I* tweaked it a bit...some intentionally and some accidently. It is well worth learning, practicing and singing to yourself until you can whip thru all of the verses YOU like and are comfortable with, thus gaining the eternal admiration and awe of you friends AND foes! (In some book...perhaps "Songs for Swingin' Housemothers"... there were even more verses, but obviously written for 'effect', and not always clever......and I can't do more than what is listed above on one breath.) |

01 Apr 09 - 01:20 PM (#2602379) Subject: ADD Version: Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts From: Joe Offer I learned just the first verse, and this is exactly how I learned it: WHOEVER SHALL HAVE SOME GOOD PEANUTS Whoever shall have some good peanuts, and giveth his neighbor none, He shan't have any of my peanuts, when his peanuts are gone. He shan't have any of mine, He shan't have any of mine, He shan't have any of my peanuts, when his peanuts are gone. OK, so now my understanding of the song was, that the above is the one and only official verse for the song. All other verses are supposed to be made up on the spot, and that's the whole point of it. At least, that's the way I learned it. Remind me to sing it for you next time I see you, Alan - but you have to come up with every other verse. OK, but now I have another question: I'm sure the tune is from another song, but I don't know what song it is. Can anybody identify the source of the tune? -Joe- Caveat EmptorI think I learned this song from a Sesame Street cassette, so you may wish to question my authenticity as a source - but I did learn it from a cassette, not a CD, so maybe I am authentic.... |

The song and the album are available for download (for a price) at Smithsonian Folkways. I listened to some sound samples, and heard this: Whoever shall have some good peanuts and giveth his neighbor none, Then he can't have any of my good peanuts when his good peanuts are gone. Oh, won't it be joyful, joyful, joyful, Oh, won't it be joyful, when his good peanuts are gone? Whoever shall have some Girl-Scout cookies and giveth his neighbor none, Then he can't have any of my Girl-Scout cookies when his Girl-Scout cookies are gone.

Cathy Fink sings WHOEVER SHALL HAVE SOME GOOD PEANUTS on her CD "When the Rain Comes Down," Rounder Records, 1988. The same song appears on Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer's DVD "Cathy & Marcy's Song Shop" (2006). A generous sound sample at Cathy & Marcy's web site shows that their version follows the tune and structure of Hinton's, but their food items are: 1. Good peanuts 2. Chocolate chip cookies 3. A delicious thick-crusted double-cheese pizza 4. ...? |

03 Apr 09 - 03:17 PM (#2604082) Subject: Lyr Add: OH THAT WILL BE JOYFUL / PEANUT SONG etc. From: Jim Dixon I found several old versions of this song classified as "college songs." Apparently none of these versions are cumulative, unless the editors simply omitted to notate this feature. From Songs of Yale: A New Collection of College Songs by Charles S. Elliot (New Haven, Conn.: Charles C. Chatfield & Co., 1870): (That book also has musical notation.) OH, THAT WILL BE JOYFUL 1. The man who has plenty of good peanuts and giveth his neighbor none, He shan't have any of my peanuts when his peanuts are gone. When his peanuts are gone, when his peanuts are gone, He shan't have any of my peanuts when his peanuts are gone. Oh, that will be joyful, joyful, joyful, Oh, that will be joyful, when his peanuts are gone. 2. The man who has plenty of good soft, sweet soda crackers and giveth his neighbor none, He shan't have any of my good soft, sweet, &c. [No further lyrics are given.] * From Carmina Collegensia by Henry Randall Waite, 1876: THE MAN WHO HAS PLENTY OF GOOD PEANUTS 1. The man who has plenty of good peanuts and giveth his neighbor none, He shan't have any of my peanuts when his peanuts are gone. When his peanuts are gone, when his peanuts are gone, He shan't have any of my peanuts when his peanuts are gone. 2. ...plenty of good oranges... 3. ...plenty of soft, sweet soda crackers... 4. ...plenty ripe, red strawberry short cake... 5. ...any salt-junk... 6. ...spondulacs... [WTF are salt-junk and spondulacs?] * From College Songs and Popular Ballads for Guitar by Emma Schubert, C W Bemis, W W Harris, H. W. Harris, 1888: PEANUT SONG Arr. By G. W. Bemis [Same lyrics as in Carmina Collegensia, also with musical notation.] * From Carmina Princetonia, 1890: PEANUTS 1. [Same as from Songs of Yale, above.] 2. ...good soft and sweet soda crackers.... 3. ...good lonejack smoking tobacco.... 4. ...stale old roasted chestnuts.... 5. ...Lorillard's fresh fine cut unadulterated chewing tobacco.... 6. ...de-monetized, de-moralized, de-generate, unconstitutional, saponaceous silver money.... 7. ...Richmond straight cut cigarettes of delicate flavor and highest cost tobacco.... 8. ...chestnuts.... * There are more versions out there if you want to collect them.

I've found a reference in The Life of Robert Edward Lee (by H E Shepard, 1906) to civil war soldiers singing: He that has good whiskey, And giveth his neighbor none, He shall have none of my good whiskey, When his good whiskey is gone. Also, a contemporary letter of Mark Twain (1863) from Carson City, Nevada refers to someone singing "the pea-nut song." It could be another pea-nut song, true, but the footnotes to Early Tales & Sketches, Vol. 1: 1851-1864 identify it as the "Good Peanuts" song. |
