Subject: Any June Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 29 May 21 - 10:48 AM
-Joe Offer- Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of June ie: (A) Any songs with June in the title (B) Any songs with a June date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in June even if the lyrics do not actually say so. It would be very helpful to have links to performances of the songs and also more sources of information about them. As the thread develops I shall possibly re-organise some posts and add an index to make the songs easy to find. Directly below is an alphabetical index of the titles collected in this thread. If a title in this index is blue then by clicking it you should be jumped to the section of the thread in which most of the discussion and links for that title occur. If you just want to add a new post to this thread use the “Post to this thread” button, above, to jump to the end of the thread. I shall sometimes rearrange “late” posts to group them with their appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked.When I add to someone’s post I make this clear by doing so beneath an orange line like the one below.

Subject: RE: Any June Songs? From: Felipa Date: 29 May 21 - 12:50 PM It isn't uncommon for variants of a song to come in both May and JUne variants. This is the case with The Banks of the Roses. Version 5 in the Digital tradition starts Oh, if ever I get married, it will be in June, When the fields and the flowers are out in full bloom, For 'twas there I spied my true love by the light of the moon, All on the banks of the roses. For 'twas there I spied my true love by the light of the moon, All on the banks of the roses. https://mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=5841 |

Subject: RE: Any June Songs? From: Felipa Date: 20 Jun 21 - 03:33 PM This song was submitted in a discussion thread about Juneteenth, and no title is given As I walked out one morning, it was on the [8?]Teenth of June; The birds were singing in the trees, and all the flowers in bloom. On a primrose bank I lay me down beside a crystal stream. So deep, so deep I fell asleep and I began to dream. I dreamed I saw a clipper ship a-floating on the tide, With four and twenty sailor lads all for to be her guide. On the deck was one young lad, and he much alarmed me: 'Rise up, rise up your weary hearts, for the royal sons are free.'
And when we heard of liberty, we let ourselves be known; Thank you for this one Felipa I think the title is THE THREE O’DONNELLS ITMA: The Three O’Donnells, - Paddy Tunney https://www.itma.ie/inishowen/song/three_odonnells_paddy_tunney |

Subject: RE: Any June Songs? From: Felipa Date: 20 Jun 21 - 07:14 PM I forgot to include a link to a more folky video of Latvia midsummer festivities. Ligo is celebrated on the 23rd of June so there is also a Christian overlay (St John's eve). Near where I live in Ireland, some people still light bonfires on hilltops on St John's eve but the custom is not so strong as it used to be. Apparently Latvia is the place to be at summer solstice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXJpIBocNys The dancing towards the end of the video is very like Scandinavian dancing, and of course the Scandinavians also do mid-sommer festivals. I don't know what they are doing in pandemic times though. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18614119 "Latvia's most important national holiday is arguably not Christmas but the summer solstice celebrations of Ligo (pronounced "leegwa") - a pagan tradition when Latvians celebrate the shortest night by staying up to greet the rising sun." |

Subject: RE: Any June Songs? From: GUEST,Ric Jerrom Date: 22 Jun 21 - 06:08 AM A West Riding version of “The Jug of Punch” starts: “‘Twas on the Twenty Third of June, as I was a weaving all at me loom, I saw a bird on an ivy bunch and the song she sang was “The Jug of Punch” Gladly fol the day Gladly fol the skiddly-iddly didle-dum, skiddly-iddly didle-dum, Skiddly-iddly idle-didle dum dum day” The Bates Brothers of Sheffield sang it in local folk clubs in the mid 60s. They were raucous, irreverent, funny and sometimes moving. Thank you Ric Jerrom,I looked on the Yorkshire Garland site https://www.yorkshirefolksong.net/song.cfm for this song and not finding it I asked Steve Gardham,of the Yorkshire Garland about it . Steve says I think the Irish would be a bit annoyed if we included this as a Yorkshire song. All of the oral versions come from Ireland although it is originally English c1845 featured in J B Buckstone's operetta Green Bushes. This version obviously comes from Irish oral tradition, probably the McPeakes version. I think it would be a stretch too far to claim it for Yorkshire. But thanks for your suggestion Ric . The Jug of Punch , of the Irish kind, is in the Index at the top of this thread . If anyone knows of recordings of the song as sung by The Bates Brothers of Sheffield it would be good to add it to the list of recordings |

Subject: RE: Any June Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 22 Jun 21 - 10:41 AM CHRISTINE KEELER Does anyone know anything about this song? My friend Bill Sowerby in Hull suggested the song to me for this thread. In his email he said he would love to know more about the song and tells the story of how he first encountered it. Bill Sowerby and some friends were on holiday in Ireland in August 1974, visiting the Fleadh in Listowel, County Kerry and were in a session in Lynch's Bar with lots of other singers and musicians. The MC repeatedly asked a young man if he would "give us Christine" to which he always replied "maybe later". Eventually he was persuaded to sing the song and, anticipating a good Irish song, Bill switched on his cassette recorder and this is what was sung. We don't know who he was or who wrote the song and we have never heard it sung since except by Bill. The words here have changed a little over the years as happens but it is mostly as we heard it in 1974. The tune is a variant of Brighton Camp / The Girl I Left Behind Me. Christine Keeler
The truth I’ll tell it happened in the merry month of June |

The anger and frustration that I forced myself to hide I worked for just a pittance compared to other folks Forced to sit and listen to endless racist jokes "You'll be alright there etc The days have turned to decades since I came across the sea I'm told my city soon will have a Black majority Multi-racial to it's core but a slave of history Privilege and poverty remain for all to see.

MY SON TERENCE
It was early springtime, with the trees scarce green,
I little thought, as he left Portsmouth dock,
Their invasion came and the task force went,
From the 1st of May, for six weeks or more
If only peace had come two days before
He was lost in action, his body never found
It was early springtime, with the trees scarce green |

Subject: RE: Any June Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 10 May 22 - 06:29 PM Mike Waterson's last song An August Bank Holiday Lark draws on those traditions. Remarkably rehearsals have been divided equally between work on the text and Conrad Nelson's work on the music and dancing. Barry Rutter writes, "My friend, the late great Mike Waterson, was one of the doyens of English folk. I met him when he was dying and I said, ‘Do you want to write me a song for 2014?'. He said, ‘I won't see 2014 – I'm dying.' I said, ‘I know you are, but I'd like you to write a Rushcart Song.' So he wrote it and recorded it with Eliza Carthy, Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy in their studio in Robin Hood's Bay. Conrad's taken that song and incorporated it into the play. |

Subject: RE: Any June Songs? From: Reinhard Date: 03 Jun 22 - 12:09 AM henryp, what you wrote on Mike Waterson's Rushcart Song looks like a quote. Where is it from? As it stands it's completely out of context; what are 'those traditions' An August Bank Holiday Lark draws on? (And it took me some googling to understand that Lark is a play.) |

Subject: RE: Any June Songs?

(The script is for sale on the Northern Broadsides website.) But I have found a video with Mike Waterson singing his song! The words are slightly different but a little indistinct. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLY1QFg2KDU The Northern Broadsides theatre company is well known for performing Shakespeare in northern English accents - which may well be closer to the English Shakespeare spoke than the Received Pronunciation of today. |

Subject: RE: Any June Songs? From: GerryM Date: 04 Mar 23 - 06:18 PM Dana Lyons wrote and recorded JUNE IS A COMING, available at https://youtu.be/1ez1DOKchD0 Lots of months get mentioned in this song, set in Seattle. The first stanza goes, The Fall is the sunniest time of the year And the mountains are clear every day, But November it brings home the clouds And the rain once again, December is many warm nights by the fire Reading stories and sipping some beer, With the days growing longer, The end of the winter seems near. The 2nd stanza mentions March. We finally get to June in the 3rd stanza: June is a coming, the salmon are running And I've got to be on my way, I don't want to leave you my darling But there's so many more debts to pay, They say that the catch will be bigger this year And we'll all come home rich in the end, I don't want to leave you my darling, But the nets will be loaded by dawn, June is a coming and I must be rolling along. |
