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: GerryM Date: 13 Sep 22 - 02:05 AM This website was down for a few days, which prompted me to write these verses, and to sing them at the Mudcat Singaround of 12/13 September 2022, to the tune of Wild Mountain Thyme: Oh, the wintertime is here [in Australia], And Mudcat's on the fritz. How will I learn my songs? I'm about to lose my wits. Chorus: Will ye load, Mudcat, load, And we'll all browse together, Downloading lyrics From the electronic heather. Will ye load, Mudcat, load? If the website should crash, Where will I find another? Fresno State? Mainly Norfolk? Or YouTube – what a bother! Chorus |
