Subject: RE: Song Chain From: Stringsinger Date: 28 Feb 12 - 11:54 AM What would be really interesting to me would be a song chain showing variants of existing folk songs and their metamorphoses through the ages. Example: The Ballad of Robert Kidd (Pirate) Sam Hall. What Wondrous Love is This (shape note hymn) The stanzaic forms are similar indicating influences that changed the variants. Variations for example of the Binorie Ballad, The Twa Sisters, The Wind and the Rain, etc. Or The Three Ravens, Billy MacGee Macgaw, and possibly the melodic content for Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya'. Every folk song in tradition has an antecedent either in music or in story content. |

Subject: RE: Song Chain From: YorkshireYankee Date: 18 Feb 12 - 11:11 AM Well, well... much to my surprise, this one's not in the DT already: Oh there come a young man to my Daddy's door My Daddy's door My Daddy's door There come a young man to my Daddy's door Come seekin' me to woo Chorus (between each verse): And ah but he was a bonny young man A brisk young man and a braw young man Ah but he was a bonny young man Come seekin' me to woo I took him in, into the bring (kitchen) I gave him bread & ale to drink But ne'er a broon eye would he blink Until his wain was foo There lay a broon dog before the door Before the door, before the door There lay a broon dog before the door And there he tripped & fell Then out come the old man & high(sp?) did he shout And out come the old wife and Lord, did she lout (sp?) And all 12 neighbours gathered about And there he lay, it's true Then out come I with a sneer & a smile And I said "Young man, you have us beguiled You came here to woo, now you're all defiled And we'll ha' no more o' you!" Heard some people sing this at a local festival in the Detroit area when I was a teenager and fell in love with it; afraid I don't know anything else about it really, except they introduced it as a song about the "utter humiliation" of a young man who was apparently more interested in the food than the girl he was supposedly "wooing"... |

Me name sir? Why, 'tis there on display And it's Moses Ri-toora-li-loora-li-ay" The trial it came on and it lasted a week One judge said German another said Greek "Prove you're Irish" said the policeman "and beyond it say nay" And we'll sit on it Moses Ri-toora-li-ay" The prisoner stepped up there as stiff as a crutch "Are you Irish or English or German or Dutch?" "I'm a Jew sir, I'm a Jew sir, that came over to stay And my name it is Moses Ri-toora-li-ay" "We're two of a kind" said the judge to the Jew You're a cousin of Briscoe and I am one too This numbskull has blundered and for it will pay" "Wisha, that's right" says Moses Ri-toora-li-ay There's a garbage collector who works down our street Who once was a policeman, the pride of his beat And he moans all the night and he groans all the day Singing "Moses Ri-toora-li-loora-li-ay" |
