GUEST,Norestump Lyr Req: Pride of Ashwogan (sp?) (8) Lyr Req: Pride of Ashwogan (sp?) 21 Aug 19


This is a longshot, but if anyone can figure this out it's you guys.

I heard this song on XM The Village sometime around 2012. The title was "The Pride of Ashwogan" but I'm not certain on that last word, it could be anything from Oswego to Askogan (I'm fairly certain it's not Ashokan), but I remember it sounded sort of like a town in Wisconsin

I think the lyrics described the repair of an old steamer. Phrases I remember, I think they must have been part of the refrain, include the beginning of the refrain "With her boiler stoked" and the end of the refrain "she's the pride of Ashwogan (parade/today/hooray?)". There was also a phrase like "(after the turn of the century)" that was repeated fairly often.

The performance I heard was male harmony with no or minimal backing. It was fairly slow, about 80 bpm and I think they kept within an octave or so.

I know it's not much to go on, but any leads would be more than I have now.
