Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 04 May 21 - 09:25 AM Mainly Norfolk; Sarah McQuaid sang The Wagoner's Lad in 2008 on her CD I Won't Go Home 'Til Morning. She noted: There's another version of The Wagoner's Lad in my well-thumbed copy of Alan Lomax's Folk Songs of North America, credited "As sung by Buell Kazee, Eastern Ky., Folkways 7, 251" and Cecil Sharp gives four different versions in English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. The closest one to mine, melodically and lyrically, is that collected from Mrs. Jane Gentry at Hot Springs, North Carolina, on 14 September 1916 [VWML CJS2/9/242 ]. Mrs. Jane Gentry sings Wagoner's Lad; In old North Carolina I was bred and was born, And in my own county I was a great scorn. As I was a-riding one morning in May, I met as fair damsel as you ever might see. I viewed her features and she pleased me well; I forced all on her my mind for to tell. She quickly consented my bride for to be, But her parents wasn't willing for she to have me. |

Sung by Mr Knight, Horsham, April 1907. Micheal Dawney wrote: The pitch in V1a, 61 was of G; in VIIc, 86 of Bflat; words and music of the first stanza fitted together by the editor. The song is also known as 'The Lark in the Morn' or 'The Painful Plough', of which there are many versions in Sharp (1974). A version entitled 'The Painful Plough' appears in Broadwood (1983) and entitled 'The Ploughboy' in Williams (1923). There is April, there is May, there is June and July, What a pleasure to see the corn grow. And when August draws nigh, we will reap sheaves and tie, Go down with our scythes for to mow. |

Liner notes to the CD, From Greece With Love, give the lyrics, in English translation, as You went away on a day in May, my son; I lost you in the Spring which you loved so much. You went up onto the terrace And greedily drank the daylight with your eyes. You told me about the great world In your sweet, manly voice, And you promised me that one day It would belong to both of us. But now you have been extinguished, And my light has been extinguished, too. |

In Allerseelen, a lover uses the mood of that day to relive a love affair that has long since passed.[in May] Stell auf den Tisch die duftenden Reseden, Die letzten roten Astern trag herbei, Und laß uns wieder von der Liebe reden, Wie einst im Mai. Gib mir die Hand, daß ich sie heimlich drücke Und wenn man's sieht, mir ist es einerlei, Gib mir nur einen deiner süßen Blicke, Wie einst im Mai. Es blüht und duftet heut auf jedem Grabe, Ein Tag im Jahr ist ya denToten frei, Komm an mein Herz, daß ich dich wieder habe, Wie einst im Mai. Translation Put on the table the fragrant mignonettes, carry the last red astors here, and let us again talk of love like once in May. Give me your hand, that I may secretly press it, And if anyone sees it, it makes on difference to me, give me only one of your sweet glances like once in May.

Subject: Whitsun From: Felipa Date: 17 May 21 - 03:28 PM Whitsun is celebrated about 7 weeks after Easter, so it's also a moveable feast. I would say Whitsun is mainly associated with June. But this year it falls in May. So for now we can consider songs like the Whitsun Carol and Dancing at Whitson (both in the Digital Tradition database) and Maidín Luan Cincise (a patriotic song in Irish Gaelic, "On Whit Monday Morning") at https://songsinirish.com/maidin-luain-chincise-lyrics/ but I'll put it in Mudcat later with translation and a bit of info. I don't know what date Whit Monday fell in 1798, however. |
