Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 21 Sep 21 - 07:03 PM Mysha, thanks for suggesting RUN, COME SEE JERUSALEM In the Mudcat thread to which you gave a link ‘Origins: History of 'Run, Come See Jerusalem' Azizi told us, "Written by Blake Higgs (he recorded it in 1951), a Bahamian calypso singer who was well known for entertaining tourists in Nassau, this song has been covered by many American folk singers including The Weavers. It's about a devastating hurricane in the Bahamas in 1929 that caught people unaware and destroyed many ships. Alan Lomax documented another song also about the same store, called A Great Storm Pass Over, written by a Bahamian sponge fisherman called Tappy Joe; it was recorded in 1935." And Charlie Baum told us that it was “the 1929 Category 3 to 4 hurricane that swept over the Bahamas in late September.”

Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: Tattie Bogle Date: 26 Sep 21 - 02:48 PM Well, we are getting towards the end of the month, so, if I may, I'll give you one that I co-wrote with friend April Caesar in a song-writing group a few years back, Misty September: it was inspired for me by driving down to our usual meeting place on a morning when it was very misty: we are quite high up in this part of Edinburgh, and often look down on a blanket of "haar" over the Firth of Forth, but on this occasions it was misty even at our level. April had a friend who emigrated to Australia, so there is reference to the longing to be back in Scotland in the lyrics. And, no, it doesn't all rhyme, and where it does, it follows different patterns, but that's just how it evolved! I also describe it as being a love song for Scotland. If anyone wants the tune, I can send it as a pdf, or there is rather over-spotlighted YouTube of us singing it at Edinburgh Folk Club's annual song-writing competition: we didn't win anything! April is not seen in the video as she was not able to get down on stage, but she was singing from the gallery! Misty September MISTY SEPTEMBER Trish Santer/April Caesar 14/11/14 Verse 1: One day as I went walking, down the mountainside, When I saw my sweetheart, coming o’er the brae, I asked “Where are you going?”, and then he said to me, “Let’s see where this road takes us, this September day”. Chorus 1: Sunrise o’er the mountains, swiftly coursing streams, Shifting light on vibrant colours ever change the scene, Can’t bear to leave my homeland, where my heart has always been, Scotland, I’ll be true to you, Scotland, in my dreams. Verse 2 : Soon the mist came rolling, down that mountainside, Bubbled like a cauldron, chilled us to the bone, But we climbed up higher, till we saw clear skies, Marvelled at the splendour of the land that is our home. Chorus 2: Sunset o’er the mountains, swiftly coursing streams, Shifting light on vibrant colours ever change the scene, Can’t bear to leave my homeland, where my heart has always been, Scotland, I’ll be true to you, Scotland, in my dreams. Instrumental: Chorus 3: Dusk falls o’er the mountains, sparkling Milky Way, Landscape silhouetted gauntly, since the close of day, Stillness now surrounds me, more than I can say, Scotland, I’m at home with you, Scotland, here I’ll stay, Scotland, I’m at peace with you, Scotland, here I’ll stay. |

THE BATTLE OF PRESTONPANS Roy Williamson The chevalier, being void of fear, Did march up Birsley Brae, man, Through Tranent, ere he did stint As fast as he could gae, man. General Cope did taunt and mock Wi’ many a loud hussa, man, But ere next morn proclaimed the dawn We heard anither craw, man. Chorus General Cope led frae behind Tae keep his men in order, When the English ran, he was in the van And first across the Border. The brave Lochiel, as I heard tell Led Camerons on in clouds man, The morning fair, and clear the air They loosed with devilish thuds man. Down guns they threw, and swords they drew And soon did chase them off, man, On Seaton Crafts, they buffed their chafts And gart them run like daft, man. Chorus Now Caddell dressed among the rest Wi’ gun and guid claymore, man, On gelding gray, he rade the day Wi’ pistols set before, man. The cause was good, he’d spend his blood Before that he would yield, man, But the night before, he left the corps, And never faced the field, man. Chorus Now Simpson keen tae clear his een O’ rebels far in wrong, man Did never strive wi’ pistols five But he galloped wi’ the throng, man, Ower Sutra Hill, e’er he stood still Before he tasted meat, man, Monteith may brag, o’ his swift nag That bore him aff sae fleet, man. Chorus The bluff dragoons swore blood and oons They’d mak the rebels run, man, Yet they flee, when them they see And they winnae fire a gun, man, They turned their back, their foot they brak, Terror seized them a’, man, Some wet their cheeks, some filled their breeks And some for fear did fa’, man.

Geoff, could you move An Chéad Mháirt den Fómhair to the September thread. The first Tuesday of autumn would fall between 21 and 27 Sept. In 1811 the date would have been 24 Sept., if I'm not mistaken.

But winter was approaching and Napoleon soon had to retreat. THE WARLIKE LADS OF RUSSIA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM6chknRF3Q Nic Jones Nic Jones recorded both this ballad and The Bonnie Banks o' Fordie in September 1974 for the benefit LP for Fred Woods' magazine Folk Review, The First Folk Review Record. According to the sleeve notes; the words are from a broadside in the Harkness Collection at the Harris Museum and Library in Preston; and the tune is collated from various traditional sources, with contributions from Nic Jones. This recording was later included in the Fellside anthology LP and CD Flash Company and on Nic Jones' 2 CD anthology Unearthed where he noted: Possibly to the consternation of some, I often deliberately altered or re-wrote words and tunes of traditional songs, although I did try to keep it very much in sympathy with the original. Broadsides, however, offered a good source of ballads without such constraints and gave me the freedom to compose around the text without offence. Described on a broadsheet as A New Song—Bonaparte's Escape from Russia, I added a few extra words, wrote a tune and called it The Warlike Lads of Russia.
