Subject: Under The Old Linden Tree From: Gloria Date: 21 Jun 98 - 10:48 PM I need the correct lyrics for this song. I could catch most of it from a recording but there are still some blanks. Would appreciate any correction or help. Thanks.
One bright early morn in the month of May Chorus: ...(don't know)...
...everyone ran when it started to rain
We made pretty garlands to put in our hair |
Subject: RE: Under The Old Linden Tree From: John in Brisbane Date: 28 Jun 98 - 08:17 PM Gloria, I respond somewhat hesitatingly to this - but it may help. German folk songs are not my forte, but a choir that I am in sings a German folk song with frequent references to a Linden Tree. The title goes (blush) something like ' Un Schoner _______'. If this doesn't trigger some other responses (perhaps defamatory) I will provide more details tomorrow. Regards John |
Subject: RE: Under The Old Linden Tree From: Gloria Date: 29 Jun 98 - 08:09 AM Thanks John. Will wait for your next reply. I need it for a choir, I'm arranging the score so I need correct lyrics. |
Subject: RE: Under The Old Linden Tree From: John in Brisbane Date: 29 Jun 98 - 10:37 PM Must apologise Gloria, but clean forgot about it last night. I have SATB for the German lyrics, on a single page. Will gladly fax it to you OR can submit the German words to this forum or send a Midi of the bass part. Please let me know. Am aware that this may be a wild goose chase, but happy to follow your wishes. Regards John |
Subject: RE: Under The Old Linden Tree From: Gloria Date: 01 Jul 98 - 05:32 AM I think I would appreciate a fax. It would be easier for me to see from the SATB score whether it's the correct song I'm looking for. I'll be able to figure it out from the German. OK, now how do I give you my fax number? And one more thing, I live in Malaysia. Anyway thanks so much!! Gloria |
Subject: RE: Under The Old Linden Tree From: John in Brisbane Date: 12 Jul 98 - 07:45 PM Hi Gloria, Pardon the delay, but I've been out of town a lot. Tracked down the lyrics and Midi at the excellent German site which is included in the DT links. I haven't taken the time to learn the HTML commands that many of our fellow Mudcatters are so adept at. Here is the link: http://ingeb.org/Lieder/KeinScho.html I very much suspect that this is not what you want - but it is still a lovely song. Regards John |

THE LINDEN TREE
Between the well and gateway
Last night, once more I passed it
A freezing wind assailed me, |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Under the Old Linden Tree From: GUEST,Grishka Date: 22 Feb 11 - 06:48 PM RurigFan, that is yet another translation of Schubert's song from "Winterreise", like the one given by John in Brisbane 14 Sep 00 - 01:26 AM. The song the OP had in mind is a very free adaptation by Murgatroyd Farrar of the German song Beim Kronenwirt (MIDI there), the latter song describing a country wedding merrymaking all night through. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Under the Old Linden Tree From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 11 Oct 14 - 02:21 PM A translation of the old German song at www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/songster/29-the-linden-tree.htm But other words were put to the same tune. Looked for the lyrics you posted, but no joy. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Under the Old Linden Tree From: GUEST Date: 12 Oct 14 - 03:48 AM The sheet music for this song is available from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Linden-Two-part-folksong-English-arrangement/dp/B0000CVO42 |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Under the Old Linden Tree From: GUEST,threelegsoman Date: 12 Oct 14 - 03:50 AM Further to the message I just sent saying it was available on Amazon, my apologies, but apparently it is not available at present, but may become so soon. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Under the Old Linden Tree From: GUEST,threelegsoman Date: 13 Oct 14 - 04:00 AM Having read this thread, I have done my own version of this song on YouTube using the lyrics given by others above and the ones missing which I found on the Amazon site which I mentioned above. The only word I am not sure of I have made an educated guess at, and that is 'apples' which seems to me to be a fair possibility and fits poetically and rhythmically Under The Old Linden Tree |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Under the Old Linden Tree From: GUEST,Maxine James Date: 30 Oct 14 - 05:43 AM Yes I remember this song from School in the 1960s The Chrosus goes ' Hi Diddle ha ha ha ha,Hi diddle ha ha ha ha, Hi diddle ha ha ha ha , Hi Diddle ha! Does this help x |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Under the Old Linden Tree From: GUEST Date: 11 Jan 16 - 10:05 AM One bright early morn in the month of May Under the old linden tree danced and we sang till the end of the day Onder the old linden trend while we were hungry we'd plenty to eat And while we were thirsty we'd cider so sweet Hi diddle ah ha ha, ha Hi diddle ah ha ha ha Hi diddle ah ha, ha ha Hi diddle do |
