Subject: Lyr Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Oct 02 - 02:12 PM The Song About a Worker made me think of this one, so I went searching for lyrics. Here's one version I found at this site (click), but I think we should come up with a better rendition of the lyrics, and a suitable history of the song. Seamus Kennedy does a great job on this one on the appropriately-titled Gets On Everybody's Nerves [grin]. I couldn't find it posted, although I found mention of it in a couple of threads. If I'm not mistaken, the tune is almost the same as the chorus of Keep That Wheel A-Turnin'. -Joe Offer- WEE WILLIE'S LOST HIS MARLEY Wee Willie lost his marley, Wee Willie lost his marley, Wee Willie lo-o-o-o-o-st his marley, Down by the old mill road. [each verse repeats the first line like the above, then ends with "Down by the old mill road." Following are the rest of the first lines.] He lost it down a grating'... So he went an' got a big stick... And he rammed it down the gratin'... But he didn't get his marley... So he went and got a wiener dog... And he rammed it down the gratin'... But he didn't get his marley... So he went and got his grandma... And he rammed her down the gratin'... But he didn't get his marley... So he went an' got some dynamite... And he blew up half of Belfast... But he didn't get his marley... It was in his trouser pocket!... --------------------------------- BTW, a marley is a marble and a gratin', well, is a gratin' over a storm pipe. I've suspected this was a little bothersome to grandmas and dog lovers, as well as to some factions in North Ireland, probably. (Comments are from the website where I found the lyrics, not from me. The same thought came to me, though - would mothers be upset if I sang this to their children? -Joe Offer-) |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley From: DMcG Date: 16 Oct 02 - 02:17 PM I know this as "Geordie's lost his Penker" and the last line was "Doon the Double Raa" - a double row being a village consisting of one row of houses on either side of the road and not much else. Once again, the offending mysterious object is a marble (which was in his bloody pocket) |

Subject: Lyr Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Oct 02 - 02:28 PM OK, so here are the lyrics, as sung by the charming and erudite Seamus Kennedy... (?) -Joe Offer- WEE WILLIE'S LOST HIS MARLEY (Trad.) Wee Willie's lost his marley*, wee Willie's lost his marley, Wee Willie's lost his marley, down the Springfield Road. Oh, he lost it down a gratin,* he lost it down a gratin', He lost it down a gratin', down the Springfield Road. So he went and got a clothespole*, he went and got a clothespole, He went and got a clothespole, down the Springfield Road. And he shoved it down the gratin', he shoved it down the gratin', He shoved it down the gratin', down the Springfield Road. But he didn't get his marley, he didn't get his marley, He didn't get his marley, down the Springfield Road. So he went and got his brother, he went and got his brother, He went and got his brother, down the Springfield Road. And he shoved him down the gratin', etc. But he didn't get his marley, etc. So he went and got a peeler*, he went and got a peeler, He went and got a peeler, down the Springfield Road. And he shoved him down the gratin', etc. But he didn't get his marley, etc. So he went and got some dynamite, he went and got some dynamite, He went and got some dynamite, down the Springfield Road. And he shoved it down the gratin', etc. And he blew up the gratin', he blew up the gratin', He blew up the gratin', and half of the Springfield Road. Now wee Willie's got his marley, wee Willie's got his marley, Wee Willie's got his marley, down the Springfield Road., Cause he found it in his pocket, he found it in his pocket, He found it in his pocket, down the Springfield Road. Marley - marble; Springfield Road - district in Belfast; Clothespole- long pole to prevent clotheslines from sagging; Gratin' - grating or storm-drain; Peeler - policeman Ah, that Seamus is an inspiration to us all. I wonder, though, why he thought he had to explain what a clothespole is... |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley From: DMcG Date: 16 Oct 02 - 02:36 PM More to the point, why did he need to explain 'peeler' when it isn't even in the song? Ah, you're sharp, DMcG. Seamus sings the peeler verse, but left it off the CD notes. I added the verse to the lyrics above. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 16 Oct 02 - 04:29 PM Boy, you guys are sharp! I need to proofread my own CD notes. Dammit Jim, I'm a musician, not an editor, as Dr. McCoy might have said There is a Scottish/Glasgow version on Alex Beaton's children's CD - Kidding Around.Wee Jimmy's Lost His Jarie, with Glesca terms. E.g. Stankie - Gratin'; Broomielaw - Springfield Rd.; Stretcher - Clothespole; Polis - Peeler; Jarie - Marley.

Oh, he lost it down a gratin,* So he went and got a big stick And he rammed it down the gratin', But he didn't get his marley, So he went and got his brother, and he tied him to the big stick And he rammed them down the gratin', But he didn't get his marley, etc. So he went and got a wee dog, and he tied it to the big stick And he rammed them down the gratin', But he didn't get his marley, etc.

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 17 Oct 02 - 12:59 AM Joe, the reason I defined a clothespole is because once I was doing the song in an elementary school, and I asked if anyone knew what a clothespole was, and a teacher, not a kid, a teacher said it was another name for a scarecrow. Well, I didn't correct her in front of the kids, but I explained what a clothespole was in Belfast, and sang the song. Jed, thanks for trying to give me credit, but I never sang Wee Marley's Lost His Willie! Was it wee Jacob, or wee Bob...hhmmm? Alison, another fine version. I think every street in every town in Ireland, Scotland and England has a version of this one. All the best. Seamus |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Oct 02 - 02:33 AM I know, Seamus. The fact is, you and I are of an age that we remember clothespoles.

Well, they still do in Norn Irln, so yer not that ould Joe! I like this song - it was one of the ones on bus trips, like alison said, that could go on for ages, along with "Ah ma, will ye buy me a banana" and "Stop the bus I want a wee wee (cos the people in the back can't swim)", and the one that only people from my hole-in-the-hedge seemed to know "The boat was leaving Belfast". |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley From: Nigel Parsons Date: 17 Oct 02 - 06:08 AM Definition of a clothespole was not as common as expected, as most washing lines don't require them. The standard in Cardiff used to be a tall line post at one end of the garden, with a pulley at the top (say 15ft) and a cleat(tying off point) at about 5ft. The other end of the top line was either tied off to a cleat on the house wall, or passed though a pulley attached to the wall, to be tied off to a cleat at about 5ft. By lowering the line (from either end if with 2 pulleys) the line could be loaded or unloaded, and then raised to catch the most of the sun and wind at a height where shade fro walls or houses was less of a problem. On very windy days, there was also a lower line at about 5ft6in. which was secured at both ends. As long as this was stretched taut, there was no nead for a clothesprop to raise the middle of the line. These days the definition is needed because of the proliferation of 'rotary' clothes lines.

Subject: RE: Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley/Geordie's Penker From: bill\sables Date: 10 Feb 03 - 12:26 PM A double row was indeed a double row of colliery houses with the back of the one street facing the back of the other. No one ever used the front doors except for carrying coffins out. The Cundy is a covered drain down the middle of the street. If you had a cundie in your street you were "Posh" as most of the older Durham colliery streets had no drainage whatsoever. Chers Bill |

Subject: RE: Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley/Geordie's Penker From: Joe Offer Date: 10 Feb 03 - 03:34 PM Yes, I give a rat's ass, Jim. I was wondering where I had heard this song before I heard it from Seamus. Any idea if it's on a McLean CD, and what name he used for a title for the song? Don McLean did a nice job on a number of traditional songs, and on a number of the "old chestnuts" from 1920-1950. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley/Geordie's Penker From: davidkiddnet Date: 14 May 04 - 05:21 PM Where is the midi file of the tune to Geordie's Penker/ Willie's Marley ? On 28 Aug 00 MMario wrote "In The Mudcat Shop:1280) GEORDIE'S PENKER - midi sent by malcolm 8/20". Then on 18 Nov 00 Alan of Australia wrote: "The following tunes are now available at the Mudcat MIDI site. Sequenced by Malcolm Douglas, with lyrics embedded:Geordie's Penker".And on 04 Nov 02 MMario referred to "1431 GORDPENK GEORDIE'S PENKER -midi sent by Malcolm" GEORDIE'S PENKER lyrics are indeed in the DT (click here) but they have NO midi file attached. So where is the midi file of the tune? It's not under Gordpenk Geordie or Geordy. Nor is it under Wallie, Johnny, marley, jaurie, penker, pinker, plinker, plenker or plonker. I just want to compare Malcom Douglas' version with my tune. If his tune doesn't appear soon I will submit my own midi file. Then you'll be sorry.

Subject: RE: Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley/Geordie's Penker From: davidkiddnet Date: 14 May 04 - 06:57 PM My American wife was listening when I played WHENIYNG.MIDCLICK TO PLAY and she said "That's the tune of 'Jimmy crack corn and I don't care', you know 'to brush away the bluetail fly'". Yes I agree: Jimmy crack corn is obviously from the same root. And since the chorus of WHENIYNG is the tune of "Willie/Johnny/Geordy lost his marley/jaurie/plonker" we can sing that to it too: Whenever we hear Yankees singing "Jimmy crack corn and I don't care" we can now confidently bellow over the top "Wee Johnny's lost his jaurie" (or "Geordy's lost his plonker" or "Wee Willie lost his marley" etc). The scansion, or whatever you call it, the word-rhythm you know, is a bit of a struggle: Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, my master's gone a-way Wee John-ny's lost his jau--r--ie, doon the Broomie-law Another similarity is that both songs are the story of a poor boy who is careless of the damage that befalls grown-ups as long as he's got that spherical thing he enjoys. Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, my master's gone a-way John-ny's lost his jau--r--ie, doon the Broomie-law |

I sing a version where he gets a broom stick, a clothes prop, our terrier, and lastly gunpowder, the result of the first three - still he could na faish it, the latter results in the destruction of the street - he's blaed down all the housen. Drains - or rather, sewers tend to explode rather spectacularly - there were drain explosions in various places, and I think there was a particularly impressive one in Manchester (England)- someone took a photograph of it for the papers.

Subject: RE: Add: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley/Geordie's Penker From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 14 May 04 - 09:34 PM I really don't know what happened to the midi file I evidently sent in nearly 4 years ago. There have been various re-organisations here since then, and the old links will no longer work, I expect. Nor, just at present, can I find a local copy. It was very simple, though; "sequenced" is a misleading term. No arrangement, just a melody line, and in 2000 that will have been by ear and from memory I should think. The tune is a very common one. I've known it most of my life, though to begin with as In and out the Windows. The same tune was used for the chorus of Keep that Wheel a-Turning; the verse tune of which was also taken from a widely-known children's singing game. |

I'm new to the forum and look forward to contributing to the debate here on Mudcat. I always knew this song as "Wor Geordie's Lost His Plenker" and associated it to the mining tradition of N.E. England. Interesting, therefore, to read that there are so many regional variations. The clothespole was always referred to as a "clothes-prop" in our house and was used to hoist the washing higher to catch the wind. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Wee Willie's Lost His Marley From: Geordie1965 Date: 10 Oct 06 - 08:57 AM Hi Folks, The origins of "The Double Raa" is taken from the streets named High Row and Low Row in Lemington upon Tyne. Once commonly known to natives of Newcastle upon Tyne as "The Double Raa" and used in "Wor Geordie's Lost His Penka". Wor = Our Penka / Penker = Marble Cundy = Road Gulley / Drain Grating / Soakaway / Drain Claithes Prop = Clothes / Line prop. Pollis = Policeman / Copper / Peeler |

Subject: Lyr Add: IN AND OUT THE WINDOWS From: Sorcha Date: 03 Dec 07 - 07:14 PM I didn't find them here, but here is what I did find: In and out the windows The children joined hands to form a circle, then they raised their arms to form the 'windows'. A child was chosen by mutual consent to weave in and out the windows as the children sang the first verse of the rhyme, In and out the windows In and out the windows In and out the windows As you have done before. As they sang the second verse of the rhyme, the chosen child stopped in front of one of the players, who became the playmate, Stand and face your playmate Stand and face your playmate Stand and face your playmate As you have done before. When the third verse was sung, the two children joined hands and danced round together in the circle, Join hands with your playmate Join hands with your playmate Join hands with your playmate As you have done before. Another child was chosen to start the game, and it was usually continued until all had been given a turn. Take her off to London Take her off to London Take her off to London As you have done before. (Could this originate from elopements?) http://www.mkheritage.co.uk/sga/games/choosing-games.html I'm pretty sure the 'original' word was lover...not playmate. Changed to fit an age level. |
