From: The_one_and_only_Dai ROFL, friend BIABfsg, the 'system' here is "Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law". Threads > circa 100 posts start taking too long to load quickly, so generally somebody round off the old thread with an advisory and a link to the new thread, the first post being a link back to the old thread... if you see what I mean... This is just an adopted convention for convenience, rather than a rule, I didn't want to give the wrong impression. Does this post mean I'm now a mudcatter? ;-) |

26 Oct 01 - 11:57 AM (#580399) Subject: RE: Help! PartII - Folk songs info needed! From: Allan C. I can't add much about the first song (for which you appear to have ALL of the lyrics,) except to say that you may find more references to it if you search using "greenwood" as a single word. I learned it as a round that we sang around campfires. I believe the Girl Scouts or perhaps Campfire Girls (remember them, folks?) had it in an "official" songbook at one time. Perhaps others can tell you more. |

26 Oct 01 - 12:14 PM (#580405) Subject: RE: Help! PartII - Folk songs info needed! From: MMario there are those who would say that if you CAN find a composer/author for the song, then it isn't a folk song.
just thought I'd toss that into the whole mix |

26 Oct 01 - 10:56 PM (#580722) Subject: RE: Help! PartII - Folk songs info needed! From: masato sakurai #1 "Come follow, follow me, whither shall I follow"
This song is contained in John Hilton's Catch That Catch Can: A Choice Collection of Catches, Rounds, and Canons, first published in London in 1652. I have an unabridged reproduction of the first edition, published by Da Capo Press in 1970. The song is on page 22 with music. The composer's name is given as "Mr. John Hinton" at the end of the lyrics. The name of the song on the contents page is "Come follow, follow me, whether shall I follow" (underline mine). There's one more verse given.

26 Oct 01 - 11:03 PM (#580727) Subject: RE: Help! PartII - Folk songs info needed! From: masato sakurai Sorry, underlined part is "whether" only. And the composer's name is written as "Mr. John Hilton." |

27 Oct 01 - 01:00 AM (#580774) Subject: RE: Help! PartII - Folk songs info needed! From: masato sakurai I forgot to mention that the first verse of #1 by J. Hilton (1652) is different. Who changed it to the greenwood song when, I don't know.
Come follow, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow mee;
The Hilton version is also in Rosemary Cass-Beggs, The Penguin Book of Rounds (Penguin Books, 1982), p. 61 [no. 88]. ~Masato |

Thank you very much...I will do some research as to "John Hilton"...since you had provided me some nice info, all I need to do is to verify it...^^Happy^^ Respectfully yours, BIABfsg |

27 Oct 01 - 11:06 AM (#580912) Subject: RE: Help! PartII - Folk songs info needed! From: masato sakurai At this site, the title of #1 is "To the Greenwood," with a note: "These are the words most people know for this round. In the 17th-century versions, the line is 'To the gallows, gallows....gallows tree'!" In the Hilton book, however, the spelling is "gallow" instead of "gallows." I'm still looking for #2's background info, without success. ~Masato
