Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Stanley Holloway monologues required From: kendall Date: 07 Jun 08 - 07:42 AM David Jones, (the Englishman) recorded this years ago on, I think it was "Songs of exquisite taste". I can't find my copy because Jacqui puts everything in order. Anyway, this is a great collection done by a master. I believe it is still available from Folk Legacy. |
Subject: Lyr Add: BRAHN BOOTS (R. P. Weston & Bert Lee) From: AndyG Date: 07 Mar 00 - 01:01 PM No! that's not how I'd write it.
(always, always, pruefrede)
And here's how I'd write it down if it was up me;
Brahn Boots
Our Aunt Hannah's passed away,
The 'earse was luv'ly all plate glass,
Why Brahn boots! I ask yer,
And Aunt 'ad been so very good to 'im,
In brahn boots - I ask yer,
In the graveyard we left Jim,
'E'd given 'is black boots to Jim Small,
But brahn boots! I ask yer,
That's why we 'ad to be so rude to 'im,
But brahn boots! I ask yer, ^^ AndyG |
Subject: Lyr Add: BRAHN BOOTS (R. P. Weston & Bert Lee) From: AndyG Date: 07 Mar 00 - 12:53 PM his is as the song appears in my fourth impression (1981) of The Stanley Holloway Monologues
(Complete with spelling mistakes, as well as I can copy it.)
Also note the is not a true monologue but is partly sung as well as spoken.
Brahn Boots,br. by R.P.Weston and Bert Lee (1940)
Our Aunt Hannah's passed away,
The 'earse was luv'ly all plate glass,
Why Brahn boots! I ask yer - brahn boots!
But yer can't see people orf when they die in brahn boots!
Rolls up to make it all a farce
I'll own he didn'y seem so gay,
In the graveyard we left Jim,
'E'd given 'is black boots to Jim Small,
But brahn boots! I ask yer - brahn boots!
`Why 'e looks more like a Bookmaker's clerk - in brahn boots!'
He'd give 'is other boots away.
But some day up at Heaven's gate

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Stanley Holloway monologues required From: GUEST,Jim Dixon Date: 07 Mar 00 - 11:40 AM There is a book called "The Stanley Holloway Monologues" edited by Michael Marshall in 1979, which I believe contains the monologues you are looking for. I have a copy of the Penguin edition of this book. I believe it's still in print, but available only in the UK. (Amazon.com considers it a "special order.") There is also "Stanley Holloway, More Monologues and Songs" edited by Michael Marshall in 1980, which is out of print. I haven't seen this one. Then there is "The Book of Comic and Dramatic Monologues" edited by Michael Marshall in 1981. I have seen this book in my local public library. It contains a few monologues as performed by Holloway in addition to lots of others. I think it's out of print, too. Tom, the monologue you're referring to is called "Brahn Boots." I wasn't able to find it on the Internet, although a search for "Stanley Holloway monologues" turned up 65 references using google.com. If nobody else beats me to it, hopefully I will have it for you in a couple of days. |

Subject: Stanley Holloway monologues required From: Eric@Lackford20.freeserve.co.uk Date: 24 Sep 99 - 03:42 PM I know it's not strictly folk, but it is is my opinion as folk music and stories are often born out of common, recent and or real events. I am searching for the words to Stanley Holloway Monologues, particularly the one about "The Battle of Hastings". If anyone in the mudcat has the words. PLEASE contact me. Thankyou all. Eric |
