Subject: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: Joe Offer Date: 08 Jun 20 - 02:46 PM We started the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround in June, 2020, and it has been a wonderful gathering every Monday since then. I don't know how long it will go on, but I hope to stay with it until it fades away. I have an ulterior motive for this singaround - to add song research material for Mudcat. Gerry Myerson has recently been compiling lists of songs such at the singaround, and many people have submitted the lyrics to the songs they sang.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom - Mondays From: Richard Mellish Date: 14 Jul 20 - 06:04 AM Joe said > Feel free to post whatever you like here (especially lyrics to songs you have sung or will sing) Here's the one that I sang last night, North Sea Oil Down by the North Sea shore, a while before now, While seeking me fortune and rambling around, I met a little mermaid, very pretty as I recall And I asked this fond creature where I might find oil. "Well I know a little oil well not very far from here And I've been watching over it with the tenderest care And no-one's been near there since I was a child And I think you'd find profit to drill there a while." So I set up my rig and I made a fine stand, And this sweet little creature gave me a helping hand, Saying "Daddy, oh Daddy, it makes my blood boil When you set up your rig to go boring for oil." Well I kissed this little creature ten thousand times o'er As we toiled there together all on the sea shore, With a pillow under her fish-tail, for fear it should soil. I spat on me auger and went boring for oil. Well I hadn't been drilling three minutes or four. At a few inches depth, boys, the gusher did pour. And she wriggled and giggled, and she said with a smile "Oh bear down on that auger, for I think you've struck oil." But it was just a few days after, a thought came in me head, For the end of that auger was rusty and red. And I took it to the doctor, and he said with a smile "I think you struck shale when boring for oil." I got it from my own recording of Bert at Dingle's Folk Club in London on 4th April 1973. I have deliberately not checked the above words against the recording, so feel free to spot any folk-processing that I may have done over the years. In his introduction he refers to earlier versions, so maybe I was wrong in saying that this is one that was entirely his own work rather than his improved version of an existing song, but I suspect that in this form it is mostly his work. Then again, maybe someone would like to go looking for the earlier versions. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom - Mondays From: YorkshireYankee Date: 14 Jul 20 - 08:26 PM Here's the link I mentioned last night: FOLK SONG AND MUSIC HALL The intersection of folk and music hall, the songs and social history http://folksongandmusichall.com/ It's the creation of John Baxter: "This site features a collection of Songs sung in the Music Halls, the stories of those songs and the people who sang them, and how these songs relate to traditional music of the British Isles. I hope it will encourage people to sing the songs, so where possible I include videos and links to sheet music . "It also has my blog about the social history of Music Hall. I hope to comment on various ways in which it relates to the social history of folksong. I am mostly bringing together information found by others – though I occasionally delve in Victorian newspapers..." Really been enjoying these sessions; great songs, great singing! Thanks again to Joe, Noreen and Casey. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Today!!! From: GUEST,Gerry Date: 20 Jul 20 - 08:22 PM Here are the lyrics I used for Do Youi Think That I Do Not Know. Do you think that I do not know Henry Lawson They say that I never have written of love, as a writer of songs should do They say that I never could touch the strings with a touch that is firm and true They say I know nothing of women and men in the fields where Love's roses grow I must write, they say, with a halting pen do you think that I do not know? My love-burst came, like an English Spring, in days when our hair was brown And the hem of her skirt was a sacred thing and her hair was an angel's crown The shock when another man touched her arm, where the dancers sat in a row The hope, the despair, and the false alarm do you think that I do not know By the arbour lights on the western farms, you remember the question put While you held her warm in your quivering arms and you trembled from head to foot The electric shock from her finger-tips, and the murmuring answer low The soft, shy yielding of warm red lips do you think that I do not know She was buried at Brighton, where Gordon sleeps, when I was a world away And the sad old garden its secret keeps, for nobody knows to-day She left a message for me to read, where the wild wide oceans flow Do you know how the heart of a man can bleed do you think that I do not know I stood by the grave where the dead girl lies, when the sunlit scenes were fair Neath white clouds high in the autumn skies, and I answered the message there But the haunting words of the dead to me shall go wherever I go She lives in the Marriage that Might Have Been do you think that I do not know I used a tune by Chris Kempster. Another well-known musical setting is by Slim Dusty. Best recording, for my money, was by Declan Affley. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround on Zoom-Today!!! From: GUEST,Gerry Date: 20 Jul 20 - 08:30 PM Here are the lyrics I sang for Tumba-bloody-rumba. TUMBA-BLOODY-RUMBA He looked for work at muster-time, we tried him as a rider, We tried him as the rouseabout and as the cook’s off-sider. He said he'd sailed the seven seas, he’d been up in Alaska, He’d been in every western state from Texas to Nebraska. Chorus (repeat after each stanza): He said he’d shorn a sheep or two and cut a bit of lumber, And waged war on the kangaroos at Tumba-bloody-rumba. We tried him as a shearer, we tried him as a stacker, We tried him digging rabbits out. He wasn’t worth a cracker. He had a shop in Singapore, he owned a pearling lugger, He was a champ at baccarat, Australian Rules and rugger. He never showed his aptitude at jobs he was allotted, But showed his skill upon the booze, and cigarettes he blotted. He said he’d climbed the Matterhorn, he’d been a union leader, And years ago in Adelaide he was a pigeon breeder. We tried him digging fencing posts, we tried to find his caper, Until that happy pay-day when he got his piece of paper. I wonder what he's up to now, perhaps back on the lumber, Or shooting kanga-bloody-roos at Tumba-bloody-rumba. Authorship in dispute, set to music by Warren Fahey. If you want the tune, there's a recording by Warren on Youtube. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - Doors open NOW!!!! From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Jul 20 - 06:08 PM Sung by Chris Lamb today. Zoom Song By Ruairidh Greig Chorus Off we go it’s time for a Zoom, A poem, a song or even a tune. Off we go, it’s time for a Zoom, Meeting together but not in one room. Coronavirus has split us asunder But thanks to this program, it’s really a wonder We can all get together, though many miles apart And share our performances straight from the heart. Make sure you’ve selected “Original Sound” It’s quite beneficial, most people have found And try to sit with some light on your face Your grins and your grimaces might go to waste. Always remember be nice to your host If you forget, you will suffer the most And if you don’t mute when you know that you should You may well find you’ve been muted for good. Please don’t make your intro too long, It shouldn’t go on and on and on. There’s plenty of others still waiting to sing So don’t be a Zoom Hog, it isn’t the thing. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Richard Mellish Date: 28 Jul 20 - 11:52 AM After last week's singaround I forgot to post the words of the song that I had sung, and I've now remembered. I had folk-processed it a little, but here it is as sung by Adam McNaughtan, whose song it is. Old Annie Brown Oh Glasgow is ruthless: our town can be cruel tae its own And Glasgow's indifference left an old woman alone. Six months she lay dead, before her body was found. Fa' the Calton she came And her name It was Old Annie Brown. She had stayed in the East End o' Glasgow for all of her days. Looked after her folks when her brothers were wed and away. And Annie was fifty when she saw her mother laid down. There was never the chance o' a man For Old Annie Brown So she thought she would stay in the Calton that she knew sae well. But the city was changing, faster than Annie could tell. And the people who could moved out as the district came down. There were few neighbours there To care About Old Annie Brown Now she bought all her food in a big London Road superstore. And the manager said "We get old folk in here by the score. So how should I notice if one of them isn't around? But record my regret For the death Of Old Annie Brown". Dae you know the old woman that stays five or six doors away. What would you do if you didn't see her today? If you missed her all week would you, maybe, take a look round? Don't wait till you miss her Her name might be Old Annie Brown. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Rex Date: 28 Jul 20 - 12:49 PM Many thanks to Joe and the other hosts who set this up. Good to do something with my fellow 'Catters again. I sang the following popularly known as the Gol Darned Wheel. I present it here as written by James Barton Adams, The Cowboy and the Wheel in 1897. My version was truncated in deference to many more performers with songs to sing. The Cowboy and the Wheel - James Barton Adams From The Denver Evening Post: Thursday, April 29, 1897. I kin take the toughest broncho in the wild an' wooly West, An' kin back him an' kin ride him, let him do his level best; I kin handle any critter ever wore a coat o' hair, An' I've had a lively tussle with a 'tarnal grizzly bear. I kin rope an' throw a long-horn o' the wildest Texas brand, An' in Injun disagreements I kin play a leadin' hand; But at last I met my master, an' I shorely had to squeal, When the boys got me a-straddle of a Gol darned wheel. It was at the Eagle Rancho on the Brazos whar' I fust Run across the durn contrivance 'at upset me in the dust- Natrally up an' throwed me, stood me on my cussed head, "Trumped my ace in lightin' order," so old Ike, the foreman, said. 'Twas a tenderfoot 'at brought it; he was wheelin' all the way From the sunrise end o' freedom out to San Francisco Bay. An' he tied up at the rancho fur to git outside a meal, Never thinkin' we would monkey with his Gol darned wheel. Arizony Jim begun it, when he said to Jack McGill There was fellers fo'ced the limit braggin' o' their ridin' skill, An' he reckoned there's a puncher not a million miles away As imagined as a rider he was tolerable gay. Then he ventured the admission that same fellow as he meant Was a purty handy critter, fur as ridin' bronchos went, But he'd find he was a buckin' 'ginst a dif'rent sort o' deal Ef he'd throw his leather leggin's 'crost that Gol darned wheel. Sich a slur upon my talent made me hotter 'n a mink, An' I told him I could back it fur amusement or fur chink; That 'twas nothin' but a plaything fur the kids an' that he mout Have his idees sort o' shattered if he'd trot the critter out. Then they helt it till I mounted, an' I give the word to go, An' the shove they give to start me wa'n't unreasonably slow. But I never split a cuss-word, never made a bit o' squeal- I was buildin' repatation on that Gol darned wheel. The grade was mighty slopin' from the rancho to the creek, An' we went a galleyflutin', like a crazy lightnin streak, Went a whizzin' an' a dartin', fust to this side, then to that, The contrivance sort o' wobblin' like the flyin' of a bat. I kep' pullin' on the handles, but I couldn't check it up, Yanked an' sawed an' jerked an' hollered, but the durn thing wouldn't stop. An' a sort o' sneakin' idee through my brain begun to steal That the devil helt a mortgage on that Gol darned wheel. Holy Moses and the prophets, how we split the Texas air! The breezes made whip crackers o' my somewhat lengthy hair. An' I sort o' comprehended as, adown the hill we went, There was bound to be a smash-up 'at I couldn't circumvent. Them cow-punchers kep' a-yellin', "Stay right with her, Uncle Bill!" "Hit 'er with the spurs, you sucker!" "Turn her muzzle up the hill!" But I never made an answer; I jest let the cusses squeal- My attention was all focussed on that Gol darned wheel. I've a sort o' dim and hazy recollection o' the stop- O' the airth a spinnin' round me, an' the stars all tangled up, Then there come a intermission, which extended till I found I was lyin' at the rancho, with the boys all gethered 'round. An' a medico was sewin' on my skin whar' it was ripped, An' ol' Arizony whispered, "Wal, ol' boy, I guess yer whipped," An' I told him I war' busted from sombrero cl'ar to heel- Then he grinned an' said, "You'd orter 'see the Gol darned wheel." |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Richard Mellish Date: 18 Aug 20 - 08:18 AM In yesterday's singaround I sang a song that I call "The Young Promised Land", which I learnt from my recording of one of series of radio programmes narrated by Bert Lloyd under the title "Folk Songs of Australia". I have never met it anywhere else, but Google has just found me an index where the first line "I once was a station-hand, two quid a week" appears on page 943, with the title The Buckjumper. I think the tune has been used for several songs. It's perhaps best known as The Green Bushes. I've just listened to the recording and have a few small corrections that I may or may not make to how I've been singing it. I once was a station hand; two quid a week In the years that's gone by on the old Bogan Creek. I was asked by a squatter, and he says "Try your hand And break in that filly: she's a young promised land". He said "She's a wild 'un of four years or so." But he knew that of outlaws I'd ridden a few. Three days she was handled. I saddled and rode her. To grass me she tried but a failure I showed her. The antics she cut was a caution to me. I was bobbing about like a cork on the sea. She pitched and the rooted, she spun (arse?) about But in ten minutes' time, boys, she rolled her tongue out. It was pitch, root and buck like a bird on the wing. It was that sort of bucking that grassed poor Jack King. She hit the fence twice but gave never a stagger And she rooted as mad as if stabbed by a dagger. Then off came the saddle, for the girth strap was weak. And she left a hoof mark on the old saddle seat. Well she stood and she snorted: she seemed in her glee. The saddle was down and the filly was free. She ran round the stockyard, just three times or four Seeming to glory in the fray that was o'er. She came mincing up to me: I put out me hand And that was the last of the young promised land I caught the short rein that hung from her jaw And I jumped on her bare back: there was fireworks galore, Till her muscles they twitched to her heart's broken sound. She fell dead in her tracks, boys, and lay on the ground. Her jaw was all broke where her sharp hooves had struck. "Thank God." says the foreman, "That's a bit of good luck." |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 19 Aug 20 - 03:46 AM Richard, The Buckjumper is in Ron Edwards, Great Australian Folk Songs. Edwards writes, The Buckjumper is an unpublished song from the collection of English folklorist A. L. Lloyd. He sent this to me in 1972, and I gather that he collected it when he was in Australia in the late 1920s. Oddly enough I have on tape an account of an almost identical incident recounted to me by an ex-horsebreaker. It goes to the tune "Villikins and his Dinah." Richard's lyrics are almost identical to the lyrics in Edwards. The only significant differences are 2nd stanza, 1st line, Edwards has: Three days she was handled, then I saddled and rode her. 4th stanza, 5th line, Edwards has: She minced up to me "arse-about" is correct Promised Land is capitalized in Edwards; I wonder whether that was the name of some well-known racehorse. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 31 Aug 20 - 05:35 AM I'm hoping to sing Used To Be A River, written by Sydneysider Craig Edmondson. I haven't found lyrics nor video anywhere on the web, so I'll post them here. The song, as Craig sings it, is not suitable for unaccompanied singing, so I've rearranged it as a call-and-response song, with the responses in parentheses. Used to Be a River Craig Edmondson 1. This used to be a river (used to be a river) But now it is a sewer (now it is a sewer) But it used to be a river, And I wonder where the river got to go. Chorus: These changes, I have seen, I have seen To the people and the places Dear to me, dear to me. 2. This used to be a mountain (used to be a mountain) But now it is a golf course (now it is a golf course) But it used to be a mountain, And I wonder where the mountain got to go. Chorus 3. This used to be a forest (used to be a forest) But now it is a Kmart (now it is a Kmart) But it used to be a forest, And I wonder where the forest got to go. Chorus 4. You used to be my baby (used to be my baby) But now you are a stranger (now you are a stranger) But You used to be my baby, And I wonder where my baby got to go. Chorus (once or twice, as the spirit moves you) |

I came in half an hour into proceedings, so I missed maybe half-a-dozen at the beginning. I didn't get a name for the song Jerry O'Neill sang, about singing folk songs to a very noisy, non-folkie audience. Also, Steve Belsey sang a shanty, all I got was the repeated phrase, "a dollar a day". Laura Martin sang two songs in Gaelic, I only got one of the titles, Fear a Bhata. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks all welcome.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 03 Dec 20 - 11:12 PM Here's my list of songs that were performed, in order, at the Singaround on 30 November / 1 December 2020. I came in a little late, so I missed a few at the beginning. I'm not at all sure I got the right title (is fada liom uaim I) for a song Martin Ryan sang. Ed Silberman sang a short song which I took down as Drink Canada Dry, but I'm not at all sure that's right. David Allan Coe recorded a song by that name, but I think it was a longer song than what Ed sang. I'm not sure whether Tell Me I'm Wrong is the name of the song Mel Barrett sang about a party he didn't like, so I've included some alternate possibilities. I totally missed the title of Hazel Richings' (first) song. I didn't get titles for Laura Martin's short Gaelic and Bulgarian songs. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks all welcome. Here's what I have: Three Volcano Day Carol for Twelfth Day Senor Don Gato The Clouds are Gwine to Roll Away Duct Tape Bill Bones' Hornpipe The False Bride Song for the Mira A North Country Maid Bring Us In Good Ale For Ireland I'll Not Tell Her Name (in Irish Gaelic) (Ar éirinn Ní n-Eósainn) Strangely Moved Alabama John Cherokee Home on the Front Range The Ditchling Carol A Most Unpleasant Way, Sir Spare Hand Lament Cold Mountain Transformations [Promeny; Czech version of Two Magicians] Harvest Home Carefree the Bird (Rew di ranno, in Welsh) Shame and Scandal Old Woman who Lived in a Wood How Lovely are Thy Dwellings Fathom the Bowl Peaceful Harbor We Ain't Gonna Give It Back Far Side Banks of Jordan Past Carin' Bonnie Susie Cleland Arthur McBride Cold Coast of Ireland Land o' the Leal Quiet Land of Erin (Ardaí Cuain, in Irish Gaelic) [Song by Martin Ryan in Irish Gaelic] (is fada liom uaim I) (?)

Here's what I have: Green Groweth the Holly Sussex Drinking Song Carol for the Twelfth Day Little Boxes on the Monitor Twas a Month Before Christmas Sailing Down My Golden River The Thermal Vest Token Local Yokel The Fisherman's Song Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum (aka The Dwarfs' Washing Song) Fairytale of New York (in Irish) Rockin' My Baby to Sleep Hamble Bums (??)

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.

I didn't get a title for Storm's song – I've given it as "Here's Hoping" which was a repeated phrase in the song. I didn't get a title for Hazel's second song – I've given it as "Here On My Island" (but it's not the song of that name from the Barbie movie that comes up on Google). Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks always welcome.

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?

Thanks as ever to Moorley Man for filling me in on the ones that came before I joined, and thanks to SPB for some corrections. I didn't get a name for Jane Nicholls story about the elephant, nor for Storm's song which I've recorded as "To Make this World a Place where All are Free". Jane Nicholls' contribution about a bus ride in wartime London was more a reminiscing than a story, I wouldn't expect it to have a title. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks always welcome.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST,Bradfordian Date: 26 Jan 21 - 04:34 AM Here are the lyrics for he song HERMIONE by DANIEL KELLY which I sang on 25 January zoom session. The tune is ROLLING DOWN TO OLD MAUI. I’m not sure if this is the right place but I see you have one or two song lyrics in this thread. (Should we do a separate thread for new zoom songs? (Or maybe there is already and I didn’t find it!)) HERMIONE by DANIEL KELLY It's a damn tough life full of toil and strife we Gryffindors undergo, We don't give a damn when the term is done how many facts we know. But there is one girl, that we know for sure, will still at her studying be, We’ll drink butter beer and give a cheer to the girl Hermione. Yes her name’s Hermione, it is, Her name’s Hermione, We will win house cup, when the year is up Thanks to our Hermione Once more we fail at the Potions class, wicked recipes Snape has made, But Hermione read, and with level head, she has brewed the winning grade, While Crabb and Goyle set their hair on fire, and Malfoy makes a scowl, When Hermione reads every word she needs, She’ll be outstanding in every owl. A Ravenclaw some said she’d be, but they couldn’t be more wrong, Though her mind is sharp, she’s a lion’s heart, and her will is mighty strong, She is sometimes gruff, like a Hufflepuff, but there’s a sparkle in her eye, Though her bloods not pure, she will endure and triumph by and by. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 05 Feb 21 - 09:40 PM Here's my list of songs/poems/stories that were sung/recited/shared, in order, at the Singaround on 1/2 February 2021. Thanks as ever to Moorley Man for filling me in on the ones that came before I joined. I didn't get a title for Fred Maslan's song, "Sailing to Victoria" is a guess. I'm guessing "Always Belay" and "In Praise of Men" as the names for Jane Nicholls' stories. "I May Not Have Long" is a guess for Storm's song. Digital Tradition has six versions of Hieland Laddie, and Tony said the one Joe put in the chat wasn't what he (Tony) was singing. I didn't catch a title for Sadie's poem for The Birthday of Francis J. Child. "Liza Jane" comes in many flavors with varying titles. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks always welcome. Here you go: Deportee Cosmo Revisited (poem) Stone By Stone Sail, O Believer The Death of Romeo and Juliet What Will We Do Groundhog Candlelight Fisherman Candymaker Will Ye Go To the Indies, My Mary Three Score and Ten The Housewive's Shanty Ranter's Wharf Spencer the Rover Sailing to Victoria (?)

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: GUEST,Bradfordian Date: 09 Feb 21 - 04:43 AM First heard from Hazel Richings, she with the silky smooth to die for voice. I sang this beautiful song 08/02/21. Yorkshire Song by Anna Shanon When heather's bloom has faded long….. and turned to brown When pheasant chides his bright alarm When rolling mist the valley shrouds…. in silent arms Once more I know this place to be my home I heard the curlew cry today…. on windswept heath A plaintive call on rising wing And as I watched from ragged lines….. of weathered trees My heart stirred from her place to go with him There's not one thing I would not give…. to be as he To circle here in joyous flight And on these moors my life to live…. to simply be My spirit to go on in hill and scree I wish that I could write a song….. that had no words Of beauteous things and journeys run For many is the time I've tried….. and tales begun But with beauty such as this the words won't come When heather's bloom has faded long….. and turned to brown When pheasant chides his bright alarm When rolling mist the valley shrouds….. in silent arms Once more I know this place to be my home |

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: Joe Offer Date: 09 Feb 21 - 04:47 AM Barrie, I'll certainly agree with that description of the "silky smooth to die for voice." It's such a pleasure to hear Hazel sing. But hey, the rest of us sing pretty good, too. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: MoorleyMan Date: 09 Feb 21 - 07:59 AM I just checked my records after last night's magnificent singaround, and i find that i sang Anna Shannon's Yorkshire Song there myself on the very first edition of the Singaround, 8th June last year! It's truly one of those songs that haunts you for ever. But hey, doesn't time fly?!!! |

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: Felipa Date: 09 Feb 21 - 08:16 AM would it not be handier to have this thread be for lists of which songs are sung each week (presently given in an exceeding long discussion of everything and anything to do with the Mon night song session), with links to the lyrics in their own threads? If the lyrics are not already on Mudcat, they deserve their own threads. A group of songs with related themes would suit being together in a thread, but here we are going to have songs which have little in common apart from having been sung at the same singing circle. |
|
Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: Joe Offer Date: 09 Feb 21 - 02:39 PM Oh, no doubt that will happen in time, Felipa. In fact, it's happening now to a great extent. But it takes time. I'm trying to keep the main announcement thread clear for announcing coming singarounds. It's fine to post other things there, but eventually they will be moved to more permanent homes. It's a very easy thing for me to move a message to another thread. For the most part, I have been starting or refreshing threads during the Singaround for songs that aren't common or that we don't have full information for, and then researching and discussing the songs over the coming week. Gerry Myerson and others started building lists of songs sung at the singarounds, so we started this thread for those lists and as a temporary resting place for lyrics. Monique is managing a thread for songs from the Singaround that are not in English. We've been trying our best to document sources for lyrics and to ensure we have correct and proofread lyrics in the "origins" and "DTStudy" threads. But until lyrics have been checked, it's nice to keep them elsewhere until they're ready for "origins" threads. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 10 Feb 21 - 04:24 AM Here's my list of songs/poems/stories that were sung/recited/shared, in order, at the Singaround on 8/9 February 2021. Thanks as ever to Moorley Man for filling me in on the ones that came before I joined. As usual, I made up names for Jane Nicholls' stories, "The Flood and the Family" and "Two Lads and a Foal". "God Bless the Birds" seemed like a good title for Elizabeth Block's takeoff on "God Bless the Grass". "Are You Out There" is a guess for a song Hazel Richings sang.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 12 Feb 21 - 05:25 AM The title in Czech is Slunécko, which is a diminuitive of slunce which translates as Sun. Wasn't too happy with the performance though, I think neres or tiredness got the better of me, and maybe I should do new material firth time round. The other title - according to the Sheet Music is 'Everyone Calls Me Tarzan'. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 12 Feb 21 - 06:54 AM Thanks, SPB. I've added the Czech. I went back and forth between "Everyone Calls Me Tarzan" and "Tarzan of the Apes" as I saw each given as the title by various sources, so I've edited to show both as alternatives. |

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GUEST Date: 16 Feb 21 - 05:46 AM Last Night we played Can y Bugail by Geraint Jarman & Meic Stephens (There should be a To Bach/Circumflex over the 'A' in 'Can', but I can't work out the HTML!). I promised the lyrics for this morning, but I need to delve a bit deeper, so please bear with me. I have an English translation, but I will wait until I have the Welsh as well before posting. Thanks for a great evening(UK), we will be back. Splott Man and Dame Pattie Smith EPNS. |

Be aware, though, that I will eventually move such posts to other places, like Monique's "songs not in English" thread. If you posted something and can't find it, clicking on your name in any post should bring it up. -Joe- |

Thanks as ever to Moorley Man for filling me in on the ones that came before I joined. I couldn't find any trace of a song called "Dark-haired Mary" – was that maybe a tune, not a song? I couldn't find any song called "Don't Believe in a Woman", or any version of Pretty Saro associated with Aunt Molly Jackson, or any song set on Clinch River and connected to Pretty Saro or to Aunt Molly Jackson.

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: SPB-Cooperator Date: 24 Feb 21 - 12:46 PM The Czech song was called Voják which translates as Soldier. I wouldn't call it a lullaby - the first verse translates to The translation of the three verses: (1) When I didn't die in the war, I also will not die back home. (2) When I didn't die on the French meadows, I will not die by my sweetheart. (3) When I didn't die alongside the Austrians, I will not die with my lords. |

Thanks as ever to Moorley Man for filling me in on the ones that came before I joined. Some uncertainties: I couldn't find any song called "Death and the Doctor" – is that title right? All I could find for Ring of the Nibelungen was a cycle of four operas, and I doubt that's what Joe sang. "I Wish I Had a Charm" is my guess at a title for Storm's poem, and "Where God Leads Me I Will Go" is my guess at a title for his song.

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: Felipa Date: 01 Apr 21 - 07:19 PM Latkes was sung to the tune of "The cuckoo" rather than the "coo coo". The cuckoo is a pretty bird, she warbles as she flies. And she never hollers "cuckoo" [coo coo?] till the fourth day of July." I learned the song before I moved to a place where I heard many cuckoos, and they holler in May. |

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: GerryM Date: 01 Apr 21 - 10:16 PM Felipa, it's a folk song, recorded by many artists, using many different titles and spellings and lyrics. I learned the song from David Holt's album, Reel And Rock, and his spelling was The Coo Coo. Clarence Ashley called it Coo Coo Bird. It was called "The Coo Coo Bird" on Doc Watson, The Vanguard Years. |

I don't care if I mumble, sing words you can't understand Let the devil take the title, Lord, I just love to make you guess They say folksong's dead and gone, and for us there is no room But we prove them wrong each week, help me make it through the Zoom, We're a very special group, help us make it through the Zoom.

Subject: RE: an Buachaillin Donn at Mudcat singaround From: Felipa Date: 23 Jun 21 - 03:06 PM I didn't attend on 14 June, but if "Buachaillin dhoun" was indeed sung in Irish, than the title should be spelled "An Buachaillín Donn" (the brown-haired lad) - "Dhoun" is an Anglicised spelling. The song also known as "Mo Bhuachaillín Donn", my brown-haired boy, which is sung mainly in English. This site mistakenly translates the title as "the fair-haired boy". Donn means brown; fair haired would be "bán" or "fionn". https://www.irish-folk-songs.com/mo-bhuachailliacuten-donn-lyrics-and-chords.html same song https://comhaltas.ie/music/detail/an_buachaillin_donn Mudcat has the same song posted as "BOUCHALEEN DHOUN" but that is not Irish spelling; it is a rough transliteration. I've now convinced myself that it was this song which was sung at the mudsing in question, a song in English with a few words in Irish Gaelic included. [I have edited the song list in accord with this post. Thanks! Gerry] |

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: Felipa Date: 30 Jun 21 - 04:33 PM "Comments and corrections always welcome." I sang Out of the Window at the 21-22 June 2021 session. I did sing the version which is in the DT under the title Our Wedding Day. It is not the same song as, is not "aka", "She Moved through the Fair". The songs have some relation, much discussed in a thread on Mudcat*. But Pádraic Colum just used one verse of Out of the Window in "She Moved through the Fair". *https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=869#3572943 Joe Offer sang the song described as "Here's to You" at this week's song circle. According to the DT, the song by the late Alan Bell is entitled When First We Met. "Here's to you," makes me think of Tom Paxton's "Ramblin' Boy". Most recordings do refer to the song as "So Here's to You". I've also heard "When First We Met" aka "So Here's to You" called "The Parting Glass"; and that could so easily be confused by a popular song of the same name ("Of all the money that e'er I spent I've spent it in good company ..." I thought it worth clarifying just which parting song Joe sang. chorus: So here's to you, and our time together. I will share with you a parting glass, And bid adieu with some smile and laughter, Our time apart will be short, and pass. There was actually at least one other song sung after Joe's official close, but I don't remember what song it was. |

Felipa, I sang a few lines of the Phil Ochs song, Links on the Chain, but maybe that's not what you're thinking of. If anyone can remember a full song that came after the close, I'll be happy to edit it into the list. I have made the other corrections. |

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: GerryM Date: 28 Sep 22 - 01:25 AM I sang Ecumenical Hora at the most recent singaround. The lyrics were written by Murray Porath, the tune is that of Hava Nagila. The version I sang went Ave, Maria; Ave, Maria; Ave, Maria; Allahu Akbar! Ave, Maria; Ave, Maria; Ave, Maria; Allahu Akbar! Nearer my God to Thee, nearer my God to Thee. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war. Nearer my God to Thee, nearer my God to Thee. Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war. Hare! Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare, Hare Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama, Rama, Hare, Hare, Allelu! Allelu! Kyrie Eleison, Ommmmmmmm. I don't know where I found these lyrics. Possibly on one of the Usenet newsgroups rec.music.folk or rec.music.filk, could be 30 years ago. Track 17 of https://archive.org/details/filk_ovff_concert_1 is Murray Porath singing it at the 1984 Ohio Valley Filk Festival concert, but with very different lyrics from what I've posted here. |

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: GUEST,Guest Joan F Date: 17 Nov 22 - 11:37 PM No, though it has pretty much the same tune as "Spanish Lady", Dublin City", etc. The ni Dhomnail sisters, whose name I always mis-spell, use my chorus only at the end of their "Spanish Lady". Someone at the Somerville Armory when we were having pub sings inside there told me my song was supposed to have the last verse I used so I've used it ever since. I know another song with much the same lyrics but sung to a variant of the "Willow Garden" tune. Please use the titles I gave in my earlier post. |

The original version is called L'Innamorato,' and the composer was the Italian Giovanni Gastoldi, died 1622. |

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: GerryM Date: 24 Feb 24 - 12:54 AM Joan, the purpose of these posts is to give any readers wandering by some idea of what was done at these singarounds. For that reason, I try to use the titles by which people are most likely to recognize the songs (poems, monologues, instrumentals, ...). I think "Black Girl" is going to ring a bell for many more people than "Little Girl", so that's what I use. Titles aside for the moment, and looking at lyrics, I know that you chose to sing "Little girl" and not "Black girl", and that you have good reasons for doing so, reasons to which I cannot object. I think Leadbelly recorded it both ways – here is a recording where he sang "Black girl": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28KEs9xq6X0 It occurs to me that the song also goes by the name, Where Did You Sleep Last Night?, so I'm going to edit that in as an aka. |
