From: Levana Taylor Date: 09 Dec 21 - 08:46 PM SONGS ABOUT THE INVASION OF JOHNSON COUNTY In April, 1892 Wyoming's "Johnson County War," a conflict between large cattle owners and less wealthy settlers, culminated in the former bringing in a small army of hired gunmen to dispose of their opponents. They succeeded in killing the opposition leader, Nate Champion, but despite support from the President of the U.S., didn't come out well from the political fallout. See the Traditional Ballad Index for historical info and for the songs The Blood-Stained Diary and The Invasion Song. Under the title "Ballad of Nate Champion," "The Blood-Stained Diary" was recorded by The Phoenix Arizona Rebels.

Video Dodson writes: "'Bedtime Story' is actually a four-part choral piece, but since I can't carry a chorus around with me, I put the bass, tenor, and alto parts on the guitar and sing the soprano." BEDTIME STORY Jan Harmon Once upon a time I caught a glimpse of April Like a spear of sunlight on a January morning I closed myself as petals, but the light unclosed me There so deep in darkness Nothing, even starlight, has such tiny fingers Stones reach out and whisper to each other without warning And nothing, even wisdom, is as kind as roses Or so rare and reckless So sleep, my dearie 'Neath the dream horse hooves I will give you, in a wreath of leaves Bedtime stories, wishes tossed Like flashing pennies by lovers. |

Come all you gallant soldiers, a story I will tell
Was on the sixth of April about the break of day
Was about the hour of sunrise the battle it began
Was early the next morning we fit the fight again
My uniform of blue was turned to a purplish red
Although we won the battle, my heart is filled with pain |

Subject: RE: Any April Songs? From: GerryM Date: 15 May 21 - 07:14 AM THE BALLAD OF BARNEY GRAHAM Della Mae Graham On April the thirtieth Nineteen thirty-three Upon the streets of Wilder They shot him brave and free They shot my darling father He fell upon the ground 'Twas in the back they shot him His blood came streaming down They took the pistol handles And beat him on the head The hired gunmen beat him 'Til he was cold and dead When he left home that morning I though he'd soon return But for my darlin' father My heart shall ever yearn We carried him to the graveyard There we laid him down To sleep in death for many a year In the cold and sodden ground Although he left the union He tried so hard to build His blood was spilled for justice And justice guides us still Liner notes from Hedy West, Old Times and Hard Times: This elegy was written by teen-age Della Mae Graham for her father, who was president of the United Mineworker's Union local in Wilder. One Sunday morning Barney Graham was walking along the dirt road that was Wilder's main street, and as he passed the company store, two gun thugs shot and killed him. The community was so tightly controlled by the mine owners that no local preacher dared preach at the funeral of the dead union man; instead, the oration was preached by divinity students from Nashville. "The tune I sing here is from John Greenway' s American Folk Songs of Protest which doesn't explain its source. When Daddy knew Della Mae Graham, she recited this poem and had no written tune." The song also appears as Track 20 on Pete Seeger, American Industrial Ballads. Recording by Hedy West. Recording by Pete Seeger. |

Subject: RE: Any April Songs? From: YorkshireYankee Date: 06 Apr 21 - 12:29 AM This is a song I wrote for the April song swap of the Paint Creek Folklore Society of Rochester (near Detroit), Michigan (not sure what year it was, maybe 1996 or 97). We have a theme every month and it was "April Fool". I'd had an idea in mind for weeks without having time to sit down and try to write anything, but the drive to the meeting took about 20 minutes, so I composed it in my head as I drove there. (Don't think I'd be able to do it all in my head now, sadly!) APRIL FOOL © ~1997 Vikki Appleton Fielden Come sit ye down beside me and hear my sorry tale And if you have a mind to, you might purchase me an ale Me heart is sick and weary and me pride is hurtin' bad And if you listen, you will hear the time that I have had. Chorus: And there's no fool like an April fool I thought I'd learned me lessons But now I'm back in school And there's no fool like an April fool So I'll just drink and sit and think How love can be so cruel. Now I was just a fool for love -- I guess I lost me head But she was young and pretty and she winked at me and said Come sit ye down beside me and we'll have a drink or two Her charms were irresistible... what else was I to do? Chorus We passed a lovely evening there and when she asked me in I knew that luck was with me (or perhaps it was the gin)... The next thing I remember I was lyin' in the street Without a stitch of clothing or the shoes upon me feet. Chorus So now, your Honour, here I stand, and now I comprehend Not every lass who smiles at you is bound to be a friend So if you'll take a tip from me concernin' lovin's game Don't trust a girl who tells you, Sir, that April is her name... For there's no fool like an April fool (etc.) Note: Sometimes I start the chorus with "And" instead of "For", usually on verse 3. Sorry, no link to a video, but if anyone would like an mp3 with the melody, PM me. |

Subject: RE: Any April Songs?

His song about Ms McKee was among those eventually chosen and performed. The song's lyrics include the lines: "Was early early in the spring/ All the birds did sweetly sing/ They changed their notes from tree to tree/ And they sang for Lyra McKee". Mr Cooney said the producers behind the Peterloo show posted a video of his song about Ms McKee, sung by Lucy Farrell, Jim Molyneux and Sam Carter, on YouTube. Lyra McKee |
