Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Waddon Pete Date: 14 Jan 21 - 05:33 AM Just one correction from me Gerry. "She was very fond of dancing" is properly titled, "The Calico Printer's Clerk". I also thought I should thank you for your work in generating this list every week. It's appreciated. Pete |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 06 Jan 21 - 04:10 AM Here's my list of songs (no poems this time) that were sung, in order, at the Singaround on 4/5 January 2021. I didn't get a name for Patty Clink's parody of Dylan's My Back Pages. I'm not sure that Bring Me My Dull Old Pants is the right title for Rusty Dobro's take-off on a song from Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks always welcome. Here you go: Wasn't That a Mighty Storm? Mormond Braes Ballad of Jed Clampett We'll Sing Hallelujah Richard of Taunton Dean The Will (in French) Stewball Please to See the King Seven Nights Drunk (aka Seven Drunken Nights, cf Our Goodman) Bring Me My Dull Old Pants (parody of Any Dream Will Do / Give Me My Colored Coat) Past Carin' Mr Fox V'chitetu Charvotam (And They Shall Beat Their Swords, in Hebrew) The Body Piercing Song (parody of I'll Tell Me Ma) The Year Turns Around Again Queen Elinor's Confession The County Line (aka We Moved the Line) The Fishfinger Song The Schmuck Song Three Score and Ten Mollymauk Brightest and Best Snow Flurry (in Russian) Bonobo Wannabe Piano Leg (Broken Token-2) The Creel Across the Great Divide Witch of the Westmoreland It's a Miracle Mary Parker's Lament Clerk Colven The Doffing Mistress The Iron-Moulder's Wedding I Fall to Pieces Da Day Dawn O Wee White Rose of Scotland Cherry Tree Carol Will the Circle Be Unbroken Rollin' Down to Bethlehem Northern Tide The Hour that the Ship Comes In The Braes O' Appin Lullaby It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Naptime Molly Bawn You Can Close Your Eyes Mary Had a Baby Where Have All the Flowers Gone?

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 01 Jan 21 - 01:54 PM Happy New Year, Everyone! Our next Mudcat Worldwide Singaround is Monday, January 4. It starts at 8 PM London time, 3 PM in New York, and noon in Los Angeles. People in the rest of the world are smart and can figure out the time for themselves, but I do know that we're on Tuesday morning in Australia and New Zealand. Doors open for cocktails and conversation half an hour before, and we start singing on the hour. We sing for about 5 hours, giving everyone the chance to sing two songs. Hope you can join us. I emailed the invitation just now, and I'll post it here a couple of hours before the singaround. I change the link every week to try to avoid evil zoombombers. -Joe- Wendy, if the email address is correct on your Mudcat registration, you should be on the email list and should have received an email. for people who didn't get an email, you can join the list by emailing joe@mudcat.org |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: maeve Date: 01 Jan 21 - 01:01 PM From an earlier post by Joe Offer: 8 PM London time. That's noon here in California, and 3 PM in New York, and early Tuesday in Australia and New Zealand. I had no idea what time it starts in Israel (Shlomo says it's 10 PM), but we have singers from there, too. Come join us! We open doors half an hour before the scheduled time, sing for about 5 hours, and then chat until people are done chatting. All in all, it's a wonderful time. Some people just listen - that's OK, too. Hope you can come. If you'd like to be included on the email list, contact me, joe@mudcat.org For security reasons, we change the URL/address of the singaround every week, and post the URL here in this thread for only a short time. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Gallus Moll Date: 29 Dec 20 - 12:15 PM re Painted Veil, I believe the phrase w\s first used in a sonnet Lift Not The Painted Veil by Percy Bysshe Shelley. It was later used as a book title by Somerset Maugham, and more recently as a film title. Not sure where Iain heard / read it - I'll ask him! |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: GUEST,Gallus Moll Date: 28 Dec 20 - 06:42 PM Freedom Come All Ye by Hamish Henderson Roch the wind in the clear day’s dawin Blaws the cloods heelster-gowdie ower the bay But there’s mair than a roch wind blawin Ower the great glen o the world the day. It’s a thocht that wad gar oor rottens Aa they rogues that ging gallus fresh and gay Tak the road and seek ither loanins Fer their ill ploys tae sport an play Nae mair will the bonnie callants Mairch tae war when oor braggarts crousely craw Nor wee weans fae pit-heid an clachan Mourn the ships sailin doon the Broomielaw Broken families in lands we’ve herriet Will curse Scotland the Brave nae mair, nae mair Black and white yin till ither mairriet Maks the vile barracks o their maisters bare So come aa ye at hame wi Freedom Never heed whit yon hoodie croaks fer doom In yer hoose aa the bairns o Adam Will find breid, barley bree an paintet room When McLean meets wi his freens in Springburn Aa they roses an geans will turn tae bloom An a black boy fae oot Nyanga Dings the fell gallows o the burghers doon ___________________ FREEDOM COME A’ YE by Hamish Henderson During the early 1960s the Clyde and Dunoon were the scenes of many demonstrations against the arrival of Site 1, the US Navy’s nuclear base on the Holy Loch. Hamish Henderson wrote what was to become one of his best known and most beautiful songs ‘Freedom Come A’ Ye, dedicating it ‘for the Glasgow Peace Marchers, May 1960’ it is sung to Hamish’s adaptation of the pipe tune ‘The Bloody Fields of Flanders’. by Dunoon born Pipe Major John (Jock) McLellan DCM The words are in Scots, yet the meaning is clear to all, and the song endures now the ‘Roch wind’ is depicted as sweeping away oppression and war over the whole world. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom TODAY!!! From: GUEST,Gallus Moll Date: 28 Dec 20 - 06:35 PM The painted veil 1 I’ve seen small children die of pain and hunger Those little sticks of human misery And in this day and age I often wonder How long it takes to end such tragedy For something is wrong when we can close our eyes or turn and walk away chorus: Lets change with the times our reasons and our rhythms reviewing how we think by what we hear to live out our days in many different ways will we still be the same this time next year 2 I tremble when I think of Hiroshima Support the cause for mindless wars to cease Condemn the men of power and ambition And all who’d threaten everlasting peace For God only knows there s’ so much to be done We’ve sins enough to bear chorus: 3 Beware of fools and words of doubtful wisdom The hawk who masquerades as gentle dove The bigot who professes to be Christian And murders in the name of God above To look at this world beneath the painted veil May break your heart and soul chorus: 4 Someday we’ll hear the voice of understanding Though many years may pass without a sound When suffering throughout the world is ended And bitter seeds are cast on stony ground When frontiers are gone and we are all as one When no man stands alone chorus: Music and lyrics by Iain Ingram Song notes: I wrote this song many years ago during the period known as ”The Cold War” . While the threat of nuclear war has been greatly reduced, the world in this day and age remains a dangerous place This makes the words of the song as relevant today as they were when I first penned them |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: leeneia Date: 23 Dec 20 - 12:49 AM It's almost midnight, and I've just seen John McGee's request. Joe is correct; they are my own composition. Tomorrow I'll start a new thread called Lyric Add: Clear was the Night and post the lyrics in it. What do you call it when an author disavows copyright? Common Cause? Copy Complex? Whatever it is, I'll put that notice on it. I'm glad you are interested in the words. |
|
Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 22 Dec 20 - 05:07 PM John, I think that was Leeneia's own composition, so she's probably the only person who has the lyrics. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,John McGee Date: 22 Dec 20 - 11:52 AM Could someone put up the words of Clear was the Night as sung by Leeneia on 21/12? |

I'll learn. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Now!! From: Gallus Moll Date: 21 Dec 20 - 07:07 PM Alison's (from Dunoon) songs at the Solstice Session! CAULD WINTER Iain Ingram Cauld Winter’s here again, and the days are short and dreary Wi’ bitter winds an’ snaw, that aye chill the hearts o’ many For some auld folk their plight’s a bare existence tae sustain Wi’ scrimpin’ through necessity, and strugglin’ on their ain Cauld Winter’s here again, aye severe an’ penetratin’ Nae quarter will it gie the hameless or forsaken Nor pensioner who canny heat his hoose and eat an’ all The frailest o’ society are aye the first tae fall Cauld Winter’s here again, come are days when many suffer In damp and draughty hames, on the road, doon in the gutter A time when those wi’ troubled lives through hardship and despair Need a helpin’ hand frae their fellow man tae greet the Spring once mair Cauld Winter’s here again, ah but we’ve nae cause for girnin’ We’ve heat and comforts all, for it’s luxury we live in Compared tae those o’ lesser means wi’ nae escape, nae favours free Hinging oan tae life, prayin’ they’ll survive – or pey cauld Winter’s fee. _________________________ SUFFER THE CHILDREN Eric Bogle Suffer the children to come unto me The man who said that died on Calvary And as we remember this day of His birth The children are suffering all over the Earth From the African jungles to the hills of Vietnam There are thin hungry children, black, yellow and brown They’re starving to death on their millet and rice And they don’t know Santa Claus, or Jesus Christ Suffer the children to come unto me The man who said that died on Calvary And as we remember this day of His birth The children are suffering all over the Earth As you sit at your tables at this Christmastide And you stuff the roast ham, and the turkey inside Won’t you think of those children in lands far away And the two thousand children who will die today? Suffer the children to come unto me The man who said that died on Calvary And as we remember this day of his birth The children are suffering all over the earth. ____________________ |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 20 Dec 20 - 02:28 AM Hi, Everyone - I've been having trouble with blind carbon copy, and I'm not sure you all got the email. Or maybe you got it twice. If a couple of people could let me know here that they got the email, I would feel better. We have Solstice and Christmas and all sorts of celebrations. Let's celebrate them all and have a good time doing it. The next Mudcat Worldwide Singaround is Monday December 21, at 8 PM London time. That's noon here in California, and 3 PM in New York, and early Tuesday in Australia and New Zealand. I had no idea what time it starts in Israel (Shlomo says it's 10 PM), but we have singers from there, too. Come join us! We open doors half an hour before the scheduled time, sing for about 5 hours, and then chat until people are done chatting. All in all, it's a wonderful time. Some people just listen - that's OK, too. Hope you can come. Link will be posted here a couple of hours before the singaround. If you'd like to be on the email list, contact me. joe@mudcat.org |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 17 Dec 20 - 09:57 PM Here's my list of songs/poems/readings that were performed, in order, at the Singaround on 14/15 December 2020. Thanks to Moorley Man for filling me in on what was done before I joined. I think the only title I didn't get was for the poem Andrew wrote & read about being kicked out of a poetry society for wanting poems to rhyme. Also, I'm not sure whether Hazel's second song is called "I'll Bring the Whiskey if You'll Bring the Wine", or "Old Friends". Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks all welcome. Here's what I have: The Pickle Tree Carol Raiders of the Lost Shark (poem) The Mistletoe Bough Dunster Carol When You Are Old And Grey Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal Pastres Rintratz Vòstrei Tropèus (Shepherds, bring your flocks in tonight) Jerusalem Cuckoo (aka I Am a Donkey Driver) The Wexford Carol Do You Hear What I Hear Merry Christmas, Baby (Do) The Rock of Ages Lovers and Friends Ar Gyfer Heddiw’r Bore (For the Sake of This Very Morning, in Welsh) Come All You Jolly Mummers Carol for the Twelfth Day Of All the Birds I Must Go Home Tonight Tarry Flynn Twas a Month Before Christmas (poem) A Silent Night (Christmas 1915) (When We Go) Rolling Home The Galway Shawl The Greatest Story of All Now the Day is Over The Death or Glory Wassail Shepherds Arise Lines Suggested by a Tennessee Song (poem) Adeste, Fideles The Potato Song Send Me to Glory in a Glad Bag Hanerot Halalu Dark December The Trees are All Bare Auntie Julia There's a Song in the Air It's Better Than That Amourette (formerly known as Exercise 77) See Amid the Winter Snow (instrumental) Hanukah in Santa Monica (poem about free verse) Bottle O' the Best Fields of Athenry Sam Small's Christmas Pudding The Coventry Carol Albert and the Lion The Snows they Melt the Soonest Vive le Vent (French version of Jingle Bells) The Boar's Head Carol I Wish You Enough Darby Ram The Carol Singers Eibhlin a Run (Eileen Aroon) Glory Hallelujah A Christmas Carol (reading from Dickens) While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks on Ilkley Moor The Boys in the Back Room Rock of Ages (Hanukah version) The Latke Carols – First Carol Zen Gospel Singing When the Children Come Home Jolly Old Hawk Pat-a-Pan (aka Willy, Bring Your Little Drum) Old Friends (I'll Bring the Whiskey if You'll Bring the Wine (?))
