Subject: Lost my Doerflinger: Need 'Whalen's Fate From: Willie-O Date: 06 Feb 01 - 09:24 AM I can't find my copy of Songs of Sailors and Lumbermen. There's a song in in called "Whalen's Fate" which is local to my area. It's a variant of Jam on Gerry's Rocks describing the death of James Whalen or Phelan in 1878 breaking up a logjam on the Mississippi--the one in the Ottawa Valley, not the American one. My neighbour's looking for the lyrics for a project. Can anyone please look it up and post it? It goes with the "Tramps and Hawkers" tune. Willie-O |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lost my Doerflinger: Need 'Whalen's From: Willie-O Date: 06 Feb 01 - 10:24 AM Thanks Mmario, that's pretty much it, but there are some differences between that and Doerflingers version. Also a different tune (the one that plays when you load that web page) than Tramps and Hawkers. So I'd still appreciate it if someone could post the Doerflinger lyrics. Willie-O |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Whalen's Fate (Doerflinger version) From: Art Thieme Date: 27 Dec 02 - 06:38 PM The other song about this young man and his girl, THE LOST JIMMY WHALEN, is one of the few traditional songs containing supernatural events that was sung/found throughout the timber cutting areas of the (mostly) Northern states of the USA. I included it on my cassette called ON THE RIVER. Art Thieme |
