"Are you my father the king" she said "Are you my brother John Or are you my truelove William From Scotland coming home?" "I'm not your father the king" he said "I'm not your brother John But I am your truelove William From Scotland I've returned?" "Margaret, Lady Margaret" he said "In love, in charity Will you give me back the plighted troth That once, love, I gave thee." "No I'll not give you back your plighted troth Nor any other thing Until you take me to your father's house Where oft-times I have have been." He's taken her to his father's house And as they did enter in The gates swung open at their own free will To let young William in. "Margaret, Lady Margaret" he said "In love, in charity Will you give me back the plighted troth That once, love, I gave thee." "No I'll not give you back your plighted troth Nor any other thing Until you take me to the chapel hall And marry me with a ring." He's taken her to the chapel hall And as they did enter in The locks flew asunder at their own free will To let young William in. "Margaret, Lady Margaret" he said "In love, in charity Will you give me back the plighted troth That once, love, I gave thee." She took the cross from around her neck And laid it on his breast Saying "Take you back your plighted troth And in Heaven your soul find rest." Silent stood the red red cock But loudly called the grey "It is time for the living to depart the dead And so you must away."

From: The Sandman HALLOWEEN by The Singing Postman The Singing Postman – Halloween https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-ogTQqP6NQ Some folks say by the light of the day They don't believe tha's true That folks will roam, far from their home And the witches make their brew Dew you go where the lights are low They don't seem quite so keen And they don't dare, go anywhere On the night of Hallowe'en. Now we all go down to the old churchyard I dust you go inside You're not far from the old hall beyond Where the headless horsemen ride Then you prick those doors seven times And I know that you will scream When the devil pops his head out the top On the night of Hallowe'en. Ghosts don't like nobody They all make awful cries They weep and moan, grunt and groan And they don't like exorcise See them walk through the castle walls As though there's nothin' between So don't you stray, too far away On the night of Hallowe'en. Now we all know Shuck he's a rare old dog He likes to prowl around Waiting for, down on the shore The master who was drowned His hair is black, his teeth are red His eyes oh how they gleam If he gets you, it's toodle-oo On the night of Hallowe'en |

From: Tattie Bogle In answer to Geoff Lawes, no that's not Jim Reid singing in the YouTube link you gave: it's Daniel Kelly (as it says in the script accompanying the video!!) and he does make a nice job of it, though he has a deeper voice than Jim's. You might like this track of Jim singing: the songs are seasonal anyway and include what is perhaps his best-known setting of a Violet Jacob poem - Norland Wind (aka The Wild Geese): Jim Reid songs |
18 Sep 21 - 07:12 PM (#4120300) Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle P.S. If you look further into the script accompanying Daniel Kelly's singing of "Hallowe'en" it seems he had the same problem of not being able to find a YouTube of Jim Reid singing it, but he has linked to some of the other versions already mentioned above. I'll have a look through my Jim Reid CDs to see if I can find it. |

One of the songs is Grey October, which is already on the October song list. The other is called TAKING NELSON HOME and marks Trafalgar Day, when Horatio Nelson defeated the French and Spanish fleets off the coast of Spain in 1805. Lyrics are given on that thread for both songs. A commentator suggests Mike O'Connor's song "Carrying Nelson Home".

28 Oct 21 - 05:03 PM (#4124468) Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Mysha Hi, No idea what this was about, but nothing about Griet Zelle (performing under the name Mata Hari) suggests she was a spy. Since she lived so close-by in her youth, her history gets the occasional mention here. As the whole affair is more than a hundred years ago, the archives about her are now accessible to the public, but still nothing about spies. Griet fled when her father went broke, and she seems to have lived her life to always make sure people provided her with enough money. That's not really anything special, and neither is it that she liked boys wearing uniforms and boys not wearing uniforms. If there is something to say about her, fine, but please write something that makes sense. Bye |

From: Levana Taylor SONGS ABOUT THE HUNGARIAN UPRISING OF 1956 The Hungarian uprising against Soviet domination lasted from October 23 to November 10, 1956. Later, János Bródy composed Ha én rózsa volnék (If I was a rose), generally interpreted as referring to the uprising (as well as continuing resistance). See LyricsTranslate for several translations. Its best-known performer is Zsuzsa Koncz; in 1973, she recorded it on an album quickly pulled from shelves (YouTube) and there are various live recordings of her. And here is Márta Sebestyén with a traditional-style unaccompanied rendition. After the suppression of the uprising, on January 6, 1957, Elvis Presley appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and asked for relief donations, dedicating Peace in the Valley to the people of Hungary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paeOBN5e7iM For the 60th anniversary, Desmond Child (of Bon Jovi) wrote Land of the Free, which made its debut in a choral performance on Hungarian radio -- see article with recording. |

See contemporary account and photos HOOSAC TUNNEL by Dana Robinson (Bandcamp) The final lines, calling the Hoosac a "cursed tunnel," allude to the tunnel's terrible reputation that led the workers to dub it the "Bloody Pit."

To start a revolution had long since been his plan. To get the world a moving for years had been his dream, On two long tracks all made of steel, and an engine powered by steam.

It later became the title song for the 1968 stage musical written by him and Alan Plater. He added the “bairns” verse after the Aberfan disaster, about which see also Leon Rosselson's song Palaces of Gold. closetheccoalhousedoor Many more recordings of “Close the Coalhouse Door” on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Close+the+coalhouse+door |
