Thread Name: Origin: Hill and Gully Rider-is there such a song?
Subject: RE: Hill and Gully Riders - is there such a song?
The Caribbean song 'Hill and Gully Ride O" should not be confused with the derivative Banana Boat song (The Tarriers and the Weavers, with Erik Darling), etc.
Earl Stanley Reid, "Hill and Gully," and Hill and Gully Rider, part 2", I believe, preceded the Banana Boat versions, but these also were taken from the Caribbean song.
