Sandy Paton Lyr Req: The Rambling Man (Peggy Seeger) (6) RE: Lyr Req: The Rambling Man 20 Feb 02


Yeah, it's on one of my recordings. I learned it from a friend who had learned it from Peggy Seeger, who, I believe, fashioned it from a couple of fragments and set it to a tune from New England. She needed it for a "matching song" with one that her husband, Ewan MacColl, sang. I asked her about it some years later and she was no longer sure how much of it was traditional and how much of it was her own. Good song, fun chorus. "Iddy ran, diddy ran oran dee, ramble to Richmond along with me, etc." It's on Folk-Legacy #100, New Harmony (I think).
