If you need it..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4DeQrKoIAY They're waking up Maria 'Cause everybody else has got someplace to go She makes a little motion with her head Rolls over, and says she's gonna sleep For a couple minutes more I said I'm sorry to Maria For the cold-hearted thing that I have done I've said I'm sorry by now, at least once To just about everyone She says, "I have forgotten what I'm supposed to do today" And it slips my mind what I'm supposed to say We're getting older and older and older and older And always a little further out of the way You look into her eyes And it's more than your heart will allow In August and everything after You get a little less than you expected somehow Well, I stumbled into Washington Square Just as the sun began to rise And I walked across the lawn to the cathedral And I lay down in the shadow of St. Mary's in the sky I'm just one of these late model children Waiting for the king But there ain't no sign of Elvis in San Francisco It's just me and I'm playing this rock and roll thing She wants to be just like me And I want every damn thing that I can see You know, one day you're Daddy's little angel The next day, you're everything he wanted you to be They dress you up in white satin And they give you your very own pair of wings In August and everything after I'm after everything Well, I got my reservations And I got my seven-million dollar home I got the number of some girl in North Dakota Who's always wide awake So I never have to spend the night alone I got this nasty little habit Of peeking down the shirts of all the little girls As they pass me by And I know you wonder when it all catches up to me And they finally bring me down Do you think I'm gonna cry? Well listen, I already got my disease So get your fucking filthy hands off of me I hope you weren't expecting me to be crucified The best that they can do Is just to hang me from the nearest tree It's midnight in San Francisco And I'm waiting here for Jesus on my knees In August and everything after I need somebody else to bleed for me In August and everything after I need somebody else to bleed for me Well, I came down from San Francisco Because I had confidence and a military mind But now everyone I know is turning showgirl And dancing with their shirt off In some Las Vegas hotel line So I'm going to New York City Cause it got a little sleazy here for me And when I find myself alone You know I'm never going home You make the changes The changes that you need But I no longer know how to pray I live in a dog town and it's a Dalmatian parade I change my spots over and over But they never seem to fade away I am the last remaining Indian Looking for the place where the buffalo roam In August and everything after Man, them buffalo ain't never coming home In August and everything after Man, them buffalo ain't They ain't never coming home No In August and everything after Man, them buffalo ain't never coming home |

I went down to take a farewell walk, By the sands of Whitby Bay.

I went out along the West Pier,
In the darkness I stood gazing,

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,Tom Patterson Date: 23 Aug 21 - 08:16 PM August 24th 1917A song that recalls an incident in Blyth, Northumberland where young soldiers of the Warwickshire Regiment were preparing for service in the First World War. BLYTH SANDS The sun was out early that warm August day Our Warwickshire lads had been sent far away To a camp in the North East preparing for war Most not yet twenty so young and so raw. They'd been marching all morning in sweltering heat Sweating, exhausted half dead on their feet Arriving at Blyth Town they were ordered to rest Bathe in the North Sea before their next test. Six hundred soldiers ran onto the beach Laughing and joking along the tide's reach But the joy of that moment would soon turn to grief When the pull of the current took men underneath. Lt Colonel Chatterley sat high on his horse Anxiously watching more waves changing course His charges were swimming near to the land But the wild swirling sea was beyond his command Sgt John Riley was just back from France He dived in to save them but stood little chance Some waded out bravely grabbed five with their hands But nine lives were taken that day on Blyth Sands. The youngest to die was a boy from Kings Heath His father stood dumbstruck in sheer disbelief "This cannot have happened", poor Mrs Blunn said She couldn't accept that her Jesse was dead. At the inquest on Monday there were questions to ask Coroner Rutherford had the sad task "To swim there was madness", one fisherman claimed But the jury decided no one should be blamed.

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 01 Jun 22 - 06:29 PM SADDLEWORTH RUSHCART SONGS From An August Bank Holiday Lark by Deborah McAndrew for Northern Broadsides When the Saddleworth Rushcart was revived in 1974 the Morris men also resurrected an old song, sung by their predecessors. To the traditional tune of ‘Brighton Camp’ the Rushcarters sing the following words, taken directly from the banner of the Greenfield village ‘Armistice Cart’ of 1918: Oh the Rushcart lads are bonny bonny lads The Rushcart lads are bonny Oh they dance round 'cart and whistle like a lark And that’s as good as ony With heft and heart we pull the cart In August bright and sunny The Rushcart lads are bonny bonny lads The Rushcart lads are bonny They shoulder t’gun to fight the hun Fight as good as ony Oh the Rushcart lads are bonny bonny lads The Rushcart lads are bonny Saddleworth Morris Men sing part of the above song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PXW-IE7TZ0 With the kind permission of the Saddleworth Morris Men, Deborah McAndrew has used this song in the play, just altering the words slightly for the first Act when the young men have not yet gone to fight. On Rushcart Day the song is woven with another song, composed for this production by the great folk singer Mike Waterson just before he died. Director Barrie Rutter commissioned his friend, Mike, to write the song knowing that he was dying and would never see it performed. Cut the rushes, pile them high Stack them ‘til they reach the sky So the church be warm and dry Oh we are all rushcarters On our hats a bright bouquet Sing the summer, dance the day Come we will, if come we may Oh we are all rushcarters We are not rich, we are not poor We do not beg from door to door You have seen us all before We are all rushcarters Through the village, up the hill Round the green and by the mill Bearing rushes, dancing still We are all rushcarters Dance we did in days of yore Like our fathers did before We will dance for evermore We are all rushcarters |

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GerryM Date: 21 Jul 22 - 10:59 PM THE SIEGE OF UNION STREET written by Alistair Hulett The liner notes say, "The Unemployed Workers Union was formed ... during the Great Depression to fight evictions by heartless landlords of destitute families for non-payment of rent.... Matters came to a head in Union Street in the inner city suburb of Erskineville in Sydney, when over a thousand militants fought a pitched battle with police that lasted several days." The first stanza goes, You should have seen us down at Erko Fourteenth August, Saturday night To Newtown, Stanmore, Enmore and Petersham Calls went out, "Workers unite!" We built a bloody great wall With planks and boards full seven foot tall We didn't mind the howling winds and sleet When we stood round the fire at Union Street Other sources (e.g., http://jcmhood.squarespace.com/newtown-eviction) say the siege took place in Newtown, not in the neighboring suburb of Erskineville, and on 19 June 1931, not 14 August (and those were both Fridays, not Saturdays), but this nitpicking does not detract from the power of the song. Here's a recording of Alistair, accompanied by Dave Swarbrick: https://youtu.be/ioD8AvSfp2c |

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 01 Aug 22 - 12:44 AM LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN On this day in 1831, New London Bridge was opened by King William IV. Until the mid-eighteenth century the Old London Bridge was the only crossing on the Thames in London. It was damaged in a major fire in 1633, but in the fire of 1666 this damage acted as a fire break and prevented the flames from further damaging the bridge and crossing to the south side of the Thames. With its 19 narrow arches, it impeded river traffic and flow. Central piers were removed to create a wider navigational span. Widening and the removal of its houses was completed in 1763, but it remained relatively narrow and needed continual and expensive repairs. In the early nineteenth century it was decided to replace the bridge with a new construction. New London Bridge was opened in 1831 and survived until it was replaced in 1972. At that time, the 1831 bridge was dismantled and reconstructed in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Subject: RE: Any August Songs? From: The Sandman Date: 08 Aug 22 - 03:39 AM ok. it is in my songbook The Sailors Dream which is available from my websitehttp://www.dickmiles.com but here it is for mudcat. THE BATTLE OF BOSWORTH FIELD (Dick Miles) 1.On the 22nd of August with glistening sword and shield. Brave Richard king of England,did fight at Bosworth Field. He led his troops in battle,and death did bravely face The White Rose did fall never more to be replaced. Chorus.A horse, a horse,my kingdom for a horse. 2.Fight on stout hearted swordsman for king and country fight. and aim you well bold archers the enemy well fright. oh take you heed Northumberland and false Lord Stanley. Have courage me lads for victorious we shall be. Chorus. 3. So thick and fast the arrows around the king did fly when to the south marching up the hill false Stanley he did spy. he mounted on his charger,to fight all for his crown The White Rose did fall never more to leave the ground Chorus 4.Unseated from his charger as on the ground lay he surrounded and out numberd by lord stanleys infantry they quickly stoop to kill as hawks high in the sky The White Rose did fall theselast words he then did cry Chorus 5.and so the last of the House of York to death did come at last He ruled his people fairly and the law for bail he passed a good and noble ruler by the Tudors so disgraced. The White Rose did fall never more to be replaced. chorus. copyright, Dick Miles. this song was written about 1984,and recorded on Cheating the Tide GVR227,with Martin Carthy playing guitar. my inspiration was a book called The Daughter of Time,by Josephine Tey,I realised that Richard the Third,had been unfairly treated by historians,and particularly by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare was writing at a time when if you criticised the existing monarchy you could be executed,and had to be careful not to upset the ruling Tudor dynasty,who were close relatives of Henry the Seventh. I think this tune is suited to open guitar tuning,I played it in emodal or Eminor,but I would of course be happy for anyone to sing the song,and do it just how they want. I am not sure but I think the tune is in the dorian mode. Dick Miles Link to THE BATTLE OF BOSWORTH FIELD posted above by The Sandman |
