Subject: Any October Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 15 Sep 21 - 06:41 AM
-Joe Offer- Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of October ie: (A) Any songs with October in the title (B) Any songs with an October date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in October even if the lyrics do not actually say so. It would be very helpful to have links to performances of the songs and also more sources of information about them. This is an edited PermaThread moderated by Geoff Lawes. Below is an alphabetical index of the titles collected in this thread so far. If a title in this index is clicked then you should be jumped to the section of the thread in which most of the discussion and links for that title occurs. If you just want to add a new post to this thread use the “Post to this thread” or POST buttons to jump to the end of the thread. I shall sometimes rearrange “ late” posts to group them with the appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked.When I add to someone’s post I make this clear by doing so beneath an orange line like the one below. - Regards, GeoffLawes INDEX OF OCTOBER SONGS

"Are you my father the king" she said "Are you my brother John Or are you my truelove William From Scotland coming home?" "I'm not your father the king" he said "I'm not your brother John But I am your truelove William From Scotland I've returned?" "Margaret, Lady Margaret" he said "In love, in charity Will you give me back the plighted troth That once, love, I gave thee." "No I'll not give you back your plighted troth Nor any other thing Until you take me to your father's house Where oft-times I have have been." He's taken her to his father's house And as they did enter in The gates swung open at their own free will To let young William in. "Margaret, Lady Margaret" he said "In love, in charity Will you give me back the plighted troth That once, love, I gave thee." "No I'll not give you back your plighted troth Nor any other thing Until you take me to the chapel hall And marry me with a ring." He's taken her to the chapel hall And as they did enter in The locks flew asunder at their own free will To let young William in. "Margaret, Lady Margaret" he said "In love, in charity Will you give me back the plighted troth That once, love, I gave thee." She took the cross from around her neck And laid it on his breast Saying "Take you back your plighted troth And in Heaven your soul find rest." Silent stood the red red cock But loudly called the grey "It is time for the living to depart the dead And so you must away."

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: The Sandman Date: 16 Sep 21 - 07:42 AM HALLOWEEN by The Singing Postman The Singing Postman – Halloween https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-ogTQqP6NQ Some folks say by the light of the day They don't believe tha's true That folks will roam, far from their home And the witches make their brew Dew you go where the lights are low They don't seem quite so keen And they don't dare, go anywhere On the night of Hallowe'en. Now we all go down to the old churchyard I dust you go inside You're not far from the old hall beyond Where the headless horsemen ride Then you prick those doors seven times And I know that you will scream When the devil pops his head out the top On the night of Hallowe'en. Ghosts don't like nobody They all make awful cries They weep and moan, grunt and groan And they don't like exorcise See them walk through the castle walls As though there's nothin' between So don't you stray, too far away On the night of Hallowe'en. Now we all know Shuck he's a rare old dog He likes to prowl around Waiting for, down on the shore The master who was drowned His hair is black, his teeth are red His eyes oh how they gleam If he gets you, it's toodle-oo On the night of Hallowe'en |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 16 Sep 21 - 01:32 PM Another "Hallowe'en" - from the poem by Violet Jacob, set to music by Jim Reid, and here sung by Sheena Wellington and Karine Polwart: it refers to the poet losing her son, Lachlan in WW1. Absolutely haunting. Hallowe'en (Violet Jacob) HALLOWE'EN words by Violet Jacob (1920) Music, Jim Reid. The tattie-liftin's nearly through, They're plooin' whaur the barley grew And efter dark roond ilka stack You'll see the horsemen stand and crack O Lachlan, but I mind on you. I mind fu' aften we hae seen Ten thoosand stars keek doon atween. The naked branches, and below Baith fairm and bothy hae their show A-low wi' lichts o' Hallowe'en. There's bairns wi' guys that's at their tail Cloorin' the doors wi' runts o' kail And fine you'll hear the screechs an' skirls O' lassies wi' their drookit curls Bobbin' for aipples i' the pail. The bothy fire is loupin' heat. A new heid-horseman's kist is set. Richt's o'er the lamp whaur by the blaze The auld yin stood that kept yer claes. I cannae thole tae see it yet. But gin the auld folks' tales are richt An' ghaists cam hame on Hallow'n nicht, Oh freend, oh freends, what would I gie Tae feel yer rax yer hand tae me Atween the dark an' coral licht! Awa' in France across the wave, The wee lichts burn on ilka grave An' you an' me their lowes hae seen. Ye'll maybe hae yer Hallowe'en Yont whaur you're lyin' wi’ the lave. There's drink an' daff an' sang an' dance, An' ploys an' kisses get their chance, But Lachlan, man, the place I see Is whaur yer auld kist used tae be, An' the lichts o' Hallowe'en in France.

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 16 Sep 21 - 01:42 PM Another favourite, by Liam Clancy and Tommy Makem, Tommy having written the song. The Grey October Clouds THE GREY OCTOBER CLOUDS Tommy Makem The summer birds have gathered on their journey to the sun, I saw the wild geese heading South on their October run, The last crop has been harvested and all the work is done, And the grey October clouds go drifting by. Chorus Drifting by, drifting by, and the grey October clouds go drifting by. At summer dawns I walked along by silver singing streams, The lark song filled the early morn, and I could dream my dreams, The good times passed so quickly, that was long ago it seems, And the grey October clouds go drifting by………….. Chorus In memory’s field my fancies ran, wild flowers can be seen On every hill and valley and meadows in between, The leaves of brown came tumbling down from trees that once were green, And the grey October clouds go drifting by……………… Chorus In the summer of our lifetime, the skies seemed always blue, We’d dream our dreams with youthful thoughts and hope that they’d come true, Believe in all your youthful dreams and they’ll live on for you, And the grey October clouds go drifting by………………… Chorus x 2 |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 16 Sep 21 - 01:53 PM And for anyone doing kids' Hallowe'en parties, here are a couple more less serious songs! 1. HALLOWE'EN (From Music Time for Brownies) Tonight is the night when dead leaves fly Like witches and switches across the sky When elf and sprite flit through the night Om a moony sheen, on a moony sheen. Tonight is the night when leaves do sound Like gnomes in their homes far beneath the ground, When spooks and trolls creep out of holes, Dark and mossy green, dark and mossy green. Tonight is the night when pumpkins stare Through brown sheaves and leaves almost everywhere, When ghoul and ghost and goblin host Dance round their queen, for it’s Hallowe’en. (Suggested accompaniment for this is a spooky “wobble board”! or gentle use of a “thunder tube” might work) The whole thing can be accompanied by a drone in A or B minor. Can supply the tune if anyone wants it. 2. THE HALLOWE’EN QUARTERMASTER Trish Santer 24.10.06. (You'll know the tune for this one, I guess!) There were witches, witches, wearing stripy britches In the stores, in the stores, There were witches, witches, wearing stripy britches In the quartermaster’s stores. Chorus My eyes are dim , I cannot see, I have not brought my specs with me, I have not brought my specs with me. There were rats, rats, big as tiger cats, etc. There were spiders, spiders, drinking pints of cider, etc. There were wizards, wizards, eating chicken gizzards, etc. There were bats, bats, we were wearing them as hats, etc. There were ghouls, ghouls, playing with garden tools, etc There were pumpkins, pumpkins, brought in by some numpties, etc. There were brooms, brooms, flying round the room, etc There were ghosts, ghosts, bumping into posts, etc |

It appeared as 2 separate clips on YouTube listings: very sorry for any duplication: but I know that Sheena has it, just herself, on one of her own CDs too! What was slightly disappointing was not to find a YouTube of Jim Reid himself singing it: I'm sure I have it on one of his CDs. But the quoted version is great. |

Then I lay there in the gutter and my heart was all a-flutter, Till a lady, passing by, did chance to say: "You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses," Then the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Many songs make incidental mention of Columbus, e.g.,SAUERKRAUT, by Lou & Peter Berryman, has a stanza, Could you dump this ice out in the bathtub, can you dig it Here we're dumping out the ice to make some room to make some more; How'd you like a chicken that came over with Columbus?

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 18 Sep 21 - 07:06 PM In answer to Geoff Lawes, no that's not Jim Reid singing in the YouTube link you gave: it's Daniel Kelly (as it says in the script accompanying the video!!) and he does make a nice job of it, though he has a deeper voice than Jim's. You might like this track of Jim singing: the songs are seasonal anyway and include what is perhaps his best-known setting of a Violet Jacob poem - Norland Wind (aka The Wild Geese): Jim Reid songs |
|
Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 18 Sep 21 - 07:12 PM P.S. If you look further into the script accompanying Daniel Kelly's singing of "Hallowe'en" it seems he had the same problem of not being able to find a YouTube of Jim Reid singing it, but he has linked to some of the other versions already mentioned above. I'll have a look through my Jim Reid CDs to see if I can find it. |

The man who drinketh strong beer And goes to bed right mellow,
But he who drinks just what he likes And getteth half seas over,
The man who kisses a pretty girl And goes and tells his mother,
The maiden who enjoys a kiss and comes back for another,
Come into the garden Maud And don't be so particular,
If I had a pile of bricks I'd build my chimney higher. |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 06 Oct 21 - 12:55 PM During last night's Zoom session of one of our local folk clubs, we were reminded that the Eyemouth tragedy took place during October. The singer had written her own song, of which I do not have the lyrics, but here is the late John Watt's song (copied from the DT) EYEMOUTH TRAGEDY (John Watt) By the dire rocks o' Urquhart, though deadly were the signs Out sailed the Eyemouth 'fyvies' with a thousand baited lines. Though a glasslike sea and a cloudless sky made the elders bid them stay But these are the times the brave men die, but the 'halflins" (?) held the sway. Three leagues from the shore the lines were cast while the wind it held its breath And the sails hung limp from every mast and the sea was still as death For death was the bride that came that day, cut the ribbons from the creels 'Twas a raging wave hit Eyemouth town and took her bonny chiels.
There's many a bride has lost her groom as the death-toll quickly grew,

(The purist Burns scholars might not!) It is on YouTube in 2 sections, but the video doesn’t really do it justice : one of those where you really had to be there and see it live. There is some fiddling on it, but not really in the sense of setting the whole poem to a tune. Here’s a link to part 1: Tam o’Shanter part 1 |

One of the songs is Grey October, which is already on the October song list. The other is called TAKING NELSON HOME and marks Trafalgar Day, when Horatio Nelson defeated the French and Spanish fleets off the coast of Spain in 1805. Lyrics are given on that thread for both songs. A commentator suggests Mike O'Connor's song "Carrying Nelson Home".

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: oldhippie Date: 16 Oct 21 - 12:41 PM JOHN’S GARDEN by Peter Mayer Farmer John wandered back And when he reached the pumpkin patch, began to speak He said "the weather's getting colder Summer's over and it's almost Halloween That's the day, the reason you were raised When everything about your life will change You will have eyes to see, and for that night, you'll be A bright lamp burning in the darkness But remember that candle shines for only the briefest time In a jack-o-lantern's heart" The pumpkins held a meeting then Some were very apprehensive and afraid "Could this really happen to us? What could be the meaning?" is what they were saying "This is home, it's all we've ever known" Then one bold, outspoken pumpkin spokeHe said "I don't need eyes to see , it sounds like a lie to me I like it just fine here in John's garden And remember that candle shines for only the briefest time In a jack-o-lantern's heart" There is much to ask and to ponder in the pumpkin patch When imposing old October shows up at last Then a pumpkin from the farther end Who had been silent up till then Over the commotion, said "What would you rather have my friends A chance to shine, or die here on the vine? The better way seems very plain to me You will have eyes to see, and for that night, you'll be A bright lamp burning in the darkness And maybe that candle shines for only the briefest time In a jack-o-lantern's heart Oh, but one goblin's smile should make it all well worth while You know you might even see the starlight And knowing that time is brief, makes it that much more sweet When you have a jack-o-lantern's heart" |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Mysha Date: 28 Oct 21 - 05:03 PM Hi, No idea what this was about, but nothing about Griet Zelle (performing under the name Mata Hari) suggests she was a spy. Since she lived so close-by in her youth, her history gets the occasional mention here. As the whole affair is more than a hundred years ago, the archives about her are now accessible to the public, but still nothing about spies. Griet fled when her father went broke, and she seems to have lived her life to always make sure people provided her with enough money. That's not really anything special, and neither is it that she liked boys wearing uniforms and boys not wearing uniforms. If there is something to say about her, fine, but please write something that makes sense. Bye |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Levana Taylor Date: 09 Dec 21 - 10:47 PM SONGS ABOUT THE HUNGARIAN UPRISING OF 1956 The Hungarian uprising against Soviet domination lasted from October 23 to November 10, 1956. Later, János Bródy composed Ha én rózsa volnék (If I was a rose), generally interpreted as referring to the uprising (as well as continuing resistance). See LyricsTranslate for several translations. Its best-known performer is Zsuzsa Koncz; in 1973, she recorded it on an album quickly pulled from shelves (YouTube) and there are various live recordings of her. And here is Márta Sebestyén with a traditional-style unaccompanied rendition. After the suppression of the uprising, on January 6, 1957, Elvis Presley appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and asked for relief donations, dedicating Peace in the Valley to the people of Hungary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paeOBN5e7iM For the 60th anniversary, Desmond Child (of Bon Jovi) wrote Land of the Free, which made its debut in a choral performance on Hungarian radio -- see article with recording. |

See contemporary account and photos HOOSAC TUNNEL by Dana Robinson (Bandcamp) The final lines, calling the Hoosac a "cursed tunnel," allude to the tunnel's terrible reputation that led the workers to dub it the "Bloody Pit." Nearly 200 of the construction crew died there over the 24 years that it took to complete it, the October 1867 incident merely being the most casualties at a single time. As of the 1970s, the tunnel became a highly popular source of ghost stories and ghost sightings. |

To start a revolution had long since been his plan. To get the world a moving for years had been his dream, On two long tracks all made of steel, and an engine powered by steam.

It was to be a contest, a test of strength and speed, George Stephenson arrived that day aboard his iron steed. |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Reinhard Date: 01 Oct 23 - 03:18 PM This thread originally was meant to list songs associated with the month of October ie: (A) Any songs with October in the title (B) Any songs with an October date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in October even if the lyrics do not actually say so. What does the fact that the composer or the singer of a song was born or died or took a dump in October has to to with the song being catalogued as an October song? If you take this as a criterium then you can add any existing song to any of the month threads which makes this whole operation completeley meaningless. And I do *not* want you to link to any Mainly Norfolk pages to this travesty. |

She was launched on 11 June 1930 by the Prince of Wales. In her time Empress of Britain was the largest, fastest and most luxurious ship between the United Kingdom and Canada, and the largest ship in the Canadian Pacific fleet. She was torpedoed on 28 October 1940 by U-32 and sank. At 42,348 GRT she was the largest liner lost in the Second World War and the largest ship sunk by a U-boat.

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 17 Oct 23 - 09:02 AM 1777: British commander General John Burgoyne surrendered at Saratoga in the United States War of Independence. Several songs have been written about the Battle of Saratoga. However, Wikipedia reports that YANKEE DOODLE was played at the British surrender at Saratoga in 1777. The song had evolved during the conflict. An alternate verse that the British are said to have marched to is attributed to an incident involving Thomas Ditson of Billerica, Massachusetts. Ditson attempted to purchase a Brown Bess musket from a British soldier in the 47th Regiment of Foot in Boston on March 1775; after a group of the soldier's comrades spotted the transaction as it was occurring, they tarred and feathered Ditson in order to prevent any such illegal purchases from happening in the future. Ditson eventually managed to secure a musket and fought at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. For this reason, the town of Billerica is called the home of "Yankee Doodle": Yankee Doodle came to town, For to buy a firelock, We will tar and feather him, And so we will John Hancock. Another pro-British set of lyrics believed to have used the tune was published in June 1775 following the Battle of Bunker Hill: The seventeen of June, at Break of Day, The Rebels they supriz'd us, With their strong Works, which they'd thrown up, To burn the Town and drive us. "Yankee Doodle" was played at the British surrender at Saratoga in 1777. A variant is preserved in the 1810 edition of Gammer Gurton's Garland: Or, The Nursery Parnassus, collected by Francis Douce: Yankey Doodle came to town, How do you think they serv'd him? One took his bag, another his scrip, The quicker for to starve him. Link to Mudcat post above THE BATTLE OF SARATOGA |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 02 Oct 23 - 07:43 AM Work began on Empress of Britain on 28 November 1928 when the plates of her keel were laid at John Brown & Co, Clydebank, Scotland. She was launched on 11 June 1930 by the Prince of Wales. In her time Empress of Britain was the largest, fastest and most luxurious ship between the United Kingdom and Canada, and the largest ship in the Canadian Pacific fleet. She was torpedoed on 28 October 1940 by U-32 and sank. At 42,348 GRT she was the largest liner lost in the Second World War and the largest ship sunk by a U-boat. Wikipedia THE SONG OF THE CLYDE is a song by R.Y. Bell and Ian Gourley. Popularised by Kenneth McKellar, it is an affectionate tribute to the River Clyde. But from Glasgow to Greenock, in towns on each side, The hammers' "ding-dong" is the song of the Clyde. 'Tis here that the sea-going liners are born: But, unlike the salmon, they seldom return. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSj6LcQBqR4&t=10s Kenneth McKellar |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: Reinhard Date: 01 Oct 23 - 03:18 PM This thread originally was meant to list songs associated with the month of October ie: (A) Any songs with October in the title (B) Any songs with an October date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in October even if the lyrics do not actually say so. What does the fact that the composer or the singer of a song was born or died or took a dump in October has to to with the song being catalogued as an October song? If you take this as a criterium then you can add any existing song to any of the month threads which makes this whole operation completeley meaningless. And I do *not* want you to link to any Mainly Norfolk pages to this travesty. |

Subject: RE: Any October Songs? From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 26 Sep 23 - 08:00 PM Launch of Sputnik 1: The Glorious People's Russian Satellite Moon was an attempt by the Goons at a topical song. I only ever heard it once, on the wireless. Two things make it memorable for me: * It was apparently the flip side of the Ying Tong Song (which was somewhat funnier). * Said record was very audibly a 78RPM. |
