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. |
|
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. |

Moorley Man & Mrrzy, independently, supplied me with the performances from before my joining, and Joe sent me the chat transcript so I could reconstruct what happened after I left.

Subject: RE: Songs from the Mudcat Worldwide Singaround From: GerryM Date: 02 Mar 21 - 07:58 PM Here's my list of songs/poems/stories that were sung/recited/told, in order, at the Singaround on 1/2 March 2021. 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. Here you go: Death and the Doctor Doonaree Ring of the Nibelungen Finest You Ever Saw (aka The Finest of Them All) Treigladau (Mutations) (poem) Frobisher Bay La Más Bella Niña (in Spanish) Isn't It Grand Boys When I Can't Play Barnagh Hill Scarborough Fair Cuckoo's a Bonny Bird Bangum and the Boar Blann's Beer Red Iron Ore Miner's Lifeguard The Revel Still Scared of You Strike the Bell Second Mate Bugeilio’r Gwenyth Gwyn (Watching the White Wheat, English and Welsh) I Am a Little Collier (macaronic, English and Welsh) How Snow Got Its Color (story) The Rare Ould Times The Jack-Ass Song Ten Hours a Day Row On Murrumbidgee Water Ballad of Springhill (aka Springhill Mining Disaster) Adieu to Dear Cambria Die Gedanken Sind Frei (in German) Queen Amang the Heather Let Now the Harp Sheep Stealer The Coster's Serenade Geritol Gypsy Teannaibh Dlùth is Togaibh Fonn (in Scottish Gaelic) Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain Sow Took the Measles Last Boat In I Wish I Had a Charm (poem) Where God Leads Me I Will Go Bheir Mi O The Yorkshire Couple Painting Box When Forsythia's in Bloom Witch Hazel Chinese White Air Earth (poem) The Midas Touch (poem) The Plover Catcher Rozhinkes Mit Mandlen (in Yiddish and English) Young Companions (aka Bad Company, Bad Companions, I was Born in Pennsylvania, ....)

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. 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. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks always welcome. Here you go: Follow That Road Something in the Way She Moves Dark-haired Mary La Calha (The Quail) (in Occitan) Spinning wheel song If Love Doesn't Bother You It Doesn't Bother Me (tune) Anathea The Quiet Land of Erin (Ard Ti Cuain, chorus in Irish) River (with instrumental bridge Planxty Irwin) Plains of Kildare (aka Skewball, aka Stewball and Griselda, ....)

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Feb 21 - 06:37 PM Splott Man, it's great to post lyrics you sang to this thread, and thank you very much for that. 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- |

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. |

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: 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: 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. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks always welcome. Here you go: Mr Rabbit, Mr Rabbit The Green Man The Nightingale Lawd, How Come Me Heah La Chanson des Vieux Amants The Jabberwonky (poem) Ancient Mariner.com (poem) Don't Fence Me In Yorkshire Song Pretty Polly Bells of Rhymney The Wild Raparee Roger's Courtship Follow the Heron Carrigdhoun Just as the Tide is/was Flowing The Rare Ould Times Innisvaddie Annie The Boys of Mullachbawn The Flowers in the Valley Tarzan of the Apes (aka Everyone Calls Me Tarzan) Be a Man, Joe The Sailor's Grave Lynn's Dream The Cat Came Back Fear No More the Heat o' the Sun (funeral song from Cymbeline, set to Norwegian folk ballad Heiemo og Njkkenn) Millie's Waltz Aura Lee [with bonus Allan Sherman parody] Johnny Give Me The Pitmen Poets Seven Drunken Nights Folk Song Army Homeless Beaver The Prisoner Song (aka I Wish I Had Someone, aka I Wish I Had Someone to Love Me, aka Someone to Love Me) Springhill Mining Disaster The Flood and the Family (story) The Overflowing Catbox Blues The Bonny Broom The Barnyards of Delgaty The Hippopotamus Down the Mountainside Donal Og The Seven Wonders Painting Box Fair Weather Friends I Think of You Cape Farewell Ye Banks and Braes If You had a Brain You'd Be Dangerous Political Noncooperator (poem) Union-Busting Time in Massachusetts Bold Doherty The Queen of Tarts (poem) Maybe Someday Sally, Free and Easy The Rich Man's House Everything's Fine Right Now Sammy's Bar Shepherd O Shepherd Harwich Ladies (TTTO Spanish Ladies, aka Brisbane Ladies, aka Augathella Station, aka The Drover, ....)

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Mondays From: GerryM Date: 06 Feb 21 - 06:59 PM SPB, thanks! I will edit the list. Felipa, I was wondering the same thing, but Prof Google tells me that it's done both ways, and Jim Lucas definitely sang it as McCassery.

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: 31 Jan 21 - 01:59 PM Ha ha; I’ve now found the thread for posting new Mudcat zoom songs 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. (Copied from the Mudcat worldwide sing around on zoom Monday’s — or something like that!) 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. |

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!))

Subject: RE: Mudcat Worldwide Singaround - On Zoom Now!! From: GerryM Date: 20 Jan 21 - 05:52 PM Here's my list of songs/poems/stories/speeches that were sung/recited, in order, at the Singaround on 18/19 January 2021. 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. Here you go: Let Freedom Ring (speech) We Shall Overcome (one verse) When The Tees Ran Warm Glad to Meet You, Glad to Greet You Bridie and the Pole Babylon is Fallen Lee Hays monologue from The State of Arkansas Cottage Cheese (story) We've Come a Long Way Ballade en Novembre (in French) The Ploughboy's Dream I Wish I was a Mole in the Ground The Chevalier's Lament If it Wasn't for the Song Dragging the River When I was a Lad (Allan Sherman) Blowin' in the Wind Ella's Song Battle Hymn of the Republic The Sushi Blues Capetown The Really Strangest Dream Common Sailors I'll Go Have the New Jab Barges Steal Away There'll Come a Day Your Daughters and Your Sons Farewell to the Gold If I Were Free Early Snow Rolling Home to Old New England A Cowboy Lives The Boy and the Elephant (?)

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?

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.

Here's what I have: Candle (poem) Merry Christmas from the Family Global Warming and the Iceberg (poem) Shepherds, Arise Green Groweth the Holly Cauld Winter The Magnon Do Virgins Taste Better?

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 (?))

I came in a little late, so I missed a few at the beginning. I need help on two titles. I've written "Hamble Bums" for a song Steve Belsey sang, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Elizabeth Block sang a song I've written down as "Mary Had a Baby – Who Was the Father?" but I'm not at all sure that's right. Corrections, additions, and random wisecracks all welcome. 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 (??)
