Subject: Heart of Oak From: Wotcha Date: 01 Sep 99 - 03:55 PM The ancient seafaring song "Heart of Oak" has a couple more verses than that reflected on the old DT. Please would someone share the other verses? Cheers, Allahamdalla, Brian |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: MMario Date: 01 Sep 99 - 04:18 PM I just did a search, a quick one grant you, but including sites of the Sea Scouts and the Royal Navy - and no one shows more verses then listed in the DT. Just the two verses and the chorus. This is Heart of Oak, by David Garrick - published 1759, tune by Dr. William Boyce, correct? MMario |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: Date: 01 Sep 99 - 04:25 PM Correct MMario. It's in Garrick's play Harlequin's Invasion'. See C. M. Simpson's The British Broadside Ballad and Its Music for that and other early publications of song and tune. |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: Murray on Saltspring Date: 02 Sep 99 - 02:36 AM There are 5 (five) stanzas in William Chappell's "Popular Music of the Olden Time", p. 715 or so, the first = #1 in the DT; where Burl Ives got the 2nd I know not--it sounds somewhat American to me (i.e. sung by a descendant). The others in Chappell are:
We ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay;
They swear they'll invade us, these terrible foes;
We'll still make them fear, and we'll still make them flee,
We'll still make 'em run, and we'll still make 'em sweat, |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: wotcha Date: 02 Sep 99 - 08:38 AM Thanks very much. Two of the additional verses/stanzas I heard at one of the DC pub sings in the Spring. Allahamdalla, cheers, Brian |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: bob schwarer Date: 02 Sep 99 - 09:31 AM Check "X-Seaman's Institute" lp "Heart of Oak". Bernie Klay & friends. Don't know if it still available. Bob S. |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: GUEST,Dan Aguiar Date: 10 Apr 06 - 08:28 PM John Townley started singing the song at the South St. Seaport and we added it to our second album for Folkways, called "Heart Of Oak." |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: Anglo Date: 11 Apr 06 - 04:00 AM When I was a kid I learned the chorus: Heart of oak are our ships, jolly tars are our men, etc. But printed versions including the DT, and some recordings, have: Heart of oak are our ships, heart of oak are our men… Anyone know where or how this changed? |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: nutty Date: 11 Apr 06 - 06:53 AM This Bodleian Broadside of the song ... The Island of Britain .... Printed in 1803 and sung to the tune "Hearts of Oak" has the Heart of oak are our ships, heart of oak are our men chorus. I'm sure there will be other versions as well as this was a very popular tune |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: GUEST,Patricia Keenan Novelli Date: 27 Jan 09 - 11:59 PM My teacher Dan Aguiar gave me this album when I was in the 6th grade. Mr. Aguiar if you are still out there, make a facebook page so your class can get back in touch with you. Trish Keenan |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: GUEST Date: 04 Mar 09 - 12:22 PM Hi Can anyone tell me how and where to get hold of a CD that has Heart of Oak on it as my very dear friend (ex Royal Navy) has passed away and his wife would like it played at his funeral. Many thanks Gwen |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: EBarnacle Date: 04 Mar 09 - 12:31 PM I don't guarantee it but try Folkways for the X-Seaman's album cited above. |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: Anglo Date: 04 Mar 09 - 01:54 PM Dan Aguiar and his wife are now living in Hudson, NY. Try the phonebook, Trish. (Old technology, I know, but...) |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: JWB Date: 04 Mar 09 - 10:09 PM Guest Gwen, The song is on my CD "Roast Beef of Old England", available from CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/jerrybryant1 It has most of Garrick's original verses. Jerry |
Subject: RE: Heart of Oak From: JWB Date: 04 Mar 09 - 10:23 PM I just read a thread from '06 on how to make links in a post, since when I used the Make a Link utility below it didn't seem to come out right. I've renewed my faith so I'll try that link again: http://cdbaby.com/cd/jerrybryant1 Jerry |
