There are two versions in the database, however I am not looking for either of those. I would be very grateful if someone could pass these on to me. Thanks |

Subject: RE: lYRICSA\bRAVE wOLF\iAN & sYLVIA vERSION From: Stewie Date: 03 Nov 99 - 05:42 PM I don't have them, but they note that their version comes from 'Canada's Story in Song' edited by Edith Fowke and Allan Mills. It was collected by Elizabeth Greenleaf in Newfoundland in 1929. Cheers, Stewie. |
Subject: RE: lYRICSA\bRAVE wOLF\iAN & sYLVIA vERSION From: Stewie Date: 03 Nov 99 - 05:52 PM Hang on, I do have them. I just found them in an old Folkways box set 'Canada's Story in Song sung by Alan Mills' which I had forgotten I had. I will post them later on. Cheers, Stewie. |
Subject: Lyr Add: BRAVE WOLFE (Ian & Sylvia Version) From: raredance Date: 03 Nov 99 - 07:14 PM Aldus, first a little friendly chastisement. I see from one of the linked threads that you posed this very question a year an half ago. Obviously you were not satisfied with the verses you obtained then or have some sort of obsession with the particular lyrics used by Ian & Sylvia. No harm in the latter, it's a fine version and the one I first learned many years ago although I've reshuffled a few lines and verses since then. So if you promise to be happy below are the words used by I & S on the "Northern Journey" album. Most of them are in the DT version or in the linked threads above. BRAVE WOLFE (Ian & Sylvia Version) I went to see my love, thinking to woo her, I sat down by her side, not to undo her; But when I looked on her my tongue did quiver; I could not speak my mind while I was with her.
Love, here's a diamond ring, long time I've kept it;
Then forth went this brave youth and crossed the ocean:
Montcalm and this brave youth together walk-ed;
The drums did loudly beat, with colors flying;
He rais-ed up his head where the guns did rattle; rich r https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ka7GDoya0I BRAVE WOLFE (Ian & Sylvia Version) |
Subject: RE: lYRICSA\bRAVE wOLF\iAN & sYLVIA vERSION From: Stewie Date: 03 Nov 99 - 07:23 PM Rich R, You just beat me to it. I just transcribed the Ian and Sylvia words because the version in the Mills Folkways set bears hardly any resemblance to them. This is passing strange since they both give the same source - Mrs Greenleaf, Newfoundland 1929. Still, it keeps up my typing skills. Wolfe was a balladeer's wet dream – he was young and brave, he was ill and in love and he died on the battlefield at the moment of victory. Cheers, Stewie. |
Subject: RE: lYRICSA\bRAVE wOLF\iAN & sYLVIA vERSION From: aldus Date: 04 Nov 99 - 09:09 AM Tanks for the assistance. Am I to understand that the same rquest cannot be made more than once lest we be accused of "obsession" ? I had, I think, a valid reason to make a second request. Perhaps the thread police require reasons. |
Subject: RE: lYRICSA\bRAVE wOLF\iAN & sYLVIA vERSION From: Stewie Date: 05 Nov 99 - 04:51 AM On further research, the Ian and Sylvia version is very close to 'Montcalm and Wolfe' collected by Anne and Frank Warner from the singing of 'Yankee' John Galusha, Minerva, New York 1939. Evidently, Frank Warner also recorded it on an album of his called 'Hudson Valley Songs' - cf Duncan Emrich 'American Folk Poetry: An Anthology' Little Brown and Company, Boston and Toronto 1974 pp 419-40. I remain puzzled about the Mrs Greenleaf version reference in the Ian and Sylvia album notes. Cheers, Stewie. |
