Subject: JImmie Foyers- new old version From: GUEST,Julia L Date: 19 Mar 17 - 01:35 PM I tried to post this on the established thread http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=3009 but it didn't post Just found a version of this from Maine in the Flanders archive, recorded circa 1942. It is listed and sung as the Brave Privateer. It's badly recorded, but I got enough of it to identify it as a variation of Jamie / Jimmy Foyers. In some older versions of the song, he is a "halberdier". Apparently the Maine singer, Jack McNally, heard "privateer" . There is a reference to "Robert Perry as you stand in campaign" another line "I wisht I had some water out of a clear cold well" The tune is nice I will post more as I decipher it YOu can hear it here https://archive.org/details/HHFBC_tapes_C11B/C11B+sideA.mp3 It starts at about 30:25 best- Julia |
