Rag, Eh? composed & performed by Rick Fielding 1:28 It's a damned tough life, full of toil and strife we whalermen undergo Chorus: Rolling down to old Maui, my boys, rolling down to old Maui. And now we sail with a northerly gale towards our island home. Once more we sail with a northerly gale through the ice & wind & rain. How soft the breeze through the island trees, now the ice is far astern, I wrote my tune after visiting a stone circle (in Oz believe it or not).... reminded me of the circles back home... Recorded in September of 1979 at the EQINOX FESTIVAL in the middle of State Street --- Madison, Wisconsin. Chorus: There ain't no limit, To the things you see in Chicago town, I went walkin' 'round town, just seeing the sights, I went walking down Rush Street, saw a gal standing there, A patronage worker died, one day at City Hall, A speed freak walking down Lincoln, just as hip as he can be, Well, my mother became my father; my father is now my mom; There are hookers in New York City, & winos in D.C. Walking down the road, the autumn rain is falling, Chorus: He remembers how her golden hair did flow, Beneath the summer skies, the fields were green and growing, But promises undone can pave the way to sorrow, And now he wanders lost and all alone Wyo sang "Girl on the Rim of the World" on a summer night in my backyard in Colorado, accompanied by the quiet She (C)inches along on the rim of the world / (F)Always about to go (C) over. As I roved out thro' Galway City, at the hour of twelve at night, Chorus: Raddy a the toodum, toodum, toodum, / Raddy a the toodum, toodum day. [2 x] "So to me you come a-courting, my kind favours for to win; "Lassie, I have gold and silver. Lassie, I have houses and lands. Did ever you see the grass in the morning all bedecked with jewels rare? I'll sing you a true song of Billy the Kid. I'll sing of the desperate deeds that he did, When Billy the Kid was a very young lad, in old Silver City he went to the bad. Fair Mexican maidens play guitars & sing about Billy the Kid, the boy bandit king, It was on the same day when poor Billy died he said to his friends, "I am not satisfied. The bright moon was shining, the hour was late the night that poor Billy the Kid met his fate. Now there's many a lad with a face fine & fair who starts out in life with a chance to be square, Fly me away to the days down in Lafayette, when we were the talk of the town. Raised up three girls by the glow of a fire, taught them the old Cajun tunes. Bring me back home to the place by the bayou to a dance floor lit by a blue moon. Oh, won't you fly me away back to Lafayette, where only memories remain.
All that I have is my grandfather's hammer, / His old railroad watch with the casing all worn, Chorus: Some may leave money from a lifetime of saving, Some just their names on a marble stone. Some may leave stories, well tuned in the telling; / Some may leave jokes that can still make you laugh; Oh, how many days slip away without notice? / How many friends have we lost on the way? Recorded live at the Manasquan Folk Festival,May 2001. This is one of those songs where I had the melody & chords You say that you're leavin',you say you've had enough, / Packed up all your bags,and you boxed up all your stuff, This song appears in The Mudcat Songbook (with a bit of explanation/blub) under the title of 'The Bigot's Song'. Present company excepted, they're robbing us blind, Present company excepted, they think that they're 'high fliers', Present company excepted, you're the only one, that I might trust, Present company excepted, they've got it laid on a plate. Present company excepted, they seem to need to shout it, Present company excepted, well you wouldn't know it, Present company excepted; do they really believe it? Present company excepted, I'm sorry if I tread on your toes, Present company excepted,... Why has everyone departed? Hangman is an American version of a song with many versions in the British Isles and America: The Gallows Pole, The Hangman, slack the rope, slack it for a while, Sister, did you bring me silver, did you bring me gold? No, I didn't bring you silver, didn't bring you gold, Hangman, slack the rope, slack it for a while, Father, did you bring me silver, did you bring me gold? No, I didn't bring you silver, didn't bring you gold, Hangman, slack the rope, slack it for a while, True love, did you bring me silver, did you bring me gold? Yes I brought you silver, and yes I brought you gold, "I learned this in 1999 -- don't know if you remember when "Catspaw" (Pat Patterson of the Mudcat) was really sick In all the world there'll never be / Such a time as this again, There will be changes to our lives, / Maybe sorrows & maybe joys, I'll see your likeness everywhere, / In the face of every friend. From the injustice all around / And the sorrows and the pain, So take good care in all you do / And keep your spirits high. I've left this [verse] out but since Anne wrote it I'll put it in here: (Chris) Now I can see the way ahead / And the road that I must tread. I wrote this for a U-U summer camp in 1988 (theme: "Harmony (Unity In Diversity)"). In my head, I 'hear' it as a In 1990 I added a chorus so folks who didn't know it could sing along. Verse #4 was added for an environmental-theme camp. C G C C (Am) D7 G Many textures in one tapestry, / Ev'ry thread with its own specialty: Many colors, each with its own name, / In one rainbow burst as if in flame; *Verse #4 (© 1988 R. Jeanene Pratt) Many roots must feed one growing tree -- Unity, not uniformity: One true light from vantages diverse; / One community is all this earth: Tag: *Chorus: (© 1990 R. Jeanene Pratt) (The chorus goes after verses 2, 4, and 6, and the tag occus after the last chorus.) This song was collected by Vaughn Williams from Mr Whitby, the Sexton of Tilney-All-Saints near Kings Lynn Norfolk. Come all you wild young men, and a warning take by me, Bold Carter is my name, and hard is my intent; We'd not been sailing long 'fore the first thing that we spied, We hoisted our main colours, Our bloody bloody flag we let fly, Our captain got wounded most wonderfully sore, and so did most of his men; Our decks were all splattered with blood, so loud did the great guns roar; She's a tall and a handsome girl, she's a dark and a rolling eye; Here's adieu to my father and mother, and my friends and relations, too,
Young Redin he is a hunting gone with 30 lords and three, "You're welcome here, my Young Redin, with coal & candlelight. "I thank you for your candlelight, I thank you for your coal, When they were both at supper sat & merrily drinking wine, Young Redin, he follwed after her, a sorrowful man was he, When he was in her two arms laid and giving her kisses sweet, "O long long is the winter's night & slowly dawns the day. "Now keep this secret, bowerwoman, & keep it now for me, So they booted him & spurred him, as he was wont to ride, By there came seeking Young Redin many's the lord & knight. "O I haven't seen my Young Redin since yesterday at noon. They searched Clyde's waters up & down they searched them out & in, O white, white were his wounds washed white as a linen clout, "It must have been my bowerwoman -- an ill death may she die! So they have built a big bonfire the bowerwoman to burn, And they have taken out the bowerwoman & thrust the lady in.
E B7 Big bikers want to play you, / & maybe want to flay you. / Hey, wouldn't you rather burn yo' bra? Bridge: G#7 C#m G#7 C#m
I got three hot kitties begging, pretty pretty, / Just to go out on the town at night. I'm not excessively demanding That's no way for a good woman to be F# F#7 B Bm B7 All I want is some plain understanding & some congeniality, Oh, I don't want a man on booze -- They always seem to lose, / Except for that one out Chicago way, 'Cuz I can still recall, He would play that Cannonball, / And that was what he did to steal my heart away. I'm gonna move it, yes move it / Till someone finds that groove, / Go out in white bread city& cruise, Gonna shake them Walla Walla's Wasting a Walla Walla... A Walla Walla Woman Blues....oh, yes. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 22. Lovely Joan (trad.) -2:33 Llanfair (Bron) - vocals, instrumentals "It's me!!!!!!!! I'm on this one!!!!!!!! Between Amos and Harvey Andrews!!!" Lovely Joan is a traditional song that I learned from one of Martin Carthy's recordings. The tune is featured in Vaughan
A fine young man he was indeed, / He was mounted on his milk-white steed. "Good morning to you, my pretty maid," / & "Twice good morning, sir," she said. "Oh don't you think those pooks of hay / A pretty place for us to play? "Give me that ring into my hand / & I will neither stay nor stand, And, as he made for the pooks of hay, / She leaped on his horse & she tore away. She dropped him off his horse & reign / & left him to rage in the meadows green. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 23. The Song (Reprise) composed and performed by Harvey Andrews Songs to make you dance & sing, Songs to make you sigh, Songs to make you laugh & bring a tear to your eye. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat CD Strawberry liner notes From: Genie Date: 02 Jan 03 - 09:34 PM Thanks, folks. We should eventually have here a set of liner notes properly formatted to be printed as is and fit inside the CD case, once cut and folded. My new Netscape 7.2 lets me edit the thread and posts pretty easily, so we'll just keep adding and amending as new info comes in. I didn't volunteer to do that for all 5 CDs, though. Now Ebbie and Bradfordian and others have pitched in to transcribe lyrics, most contributors have sent in their info, and Lin from Kansas has graciously offered to do some nice stuff with PageMaker and email folks nice sets of liner notes for Plum and other CDs. It's really a community effort, and it's shaping up quite nicely. Genie ;-D |

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Genie Date: 27 Jan 03 - 12:30 AM PRINTABLE LINER NOTES FOR VIOLET CD ALMOST DONE!! This is what the printable liner notes will look like: Those notes are formatted to be printable as they are. When cut, they should fit into a CD case. The notes for the Violet CD are almost done, and Strawberry is close. I 'd rather not format the compact notes for this CD until we get all the notes collected. (Too tedious to edit and re-edit.) Let's see how quickly we can garner the missing pieces for Strawberry, so folks who buy (or show) the CDs can have a lovely insert addition for the CD case. If your liner note comments are extensive, you may want to condense them for the compact liner notes. (There's no reason to do that for the larger version, as in the other posts in this thread.) If your comments can be condensed or cut (for stuffing inside the CD case), please PM me the edited version. Thanks, Genie |

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Dharmabum Date: 05 Feb 03 - 04:24 PM FEELS LIKE THE BLUES You say that you're leavin',you say you've had enough, Packed up all your bags,and you boxed up all your stuff, You cleaned out the closet of those 68 pairs of shoes, If I'm so glad you're leavin', Why does this feel like the blues. I've longed for this moment,to be single once again, Just fancy & free,don't have to answer who,what,why or when, You think I'd be happy,when you gave me the news, But if I'm not mistaken, This sure does feel like the blues. (chorus) Since you've been gone, I've been havin' quite the time, Tell my friends how happy I am, But I can tell, They know that I'm lyin'. Livin' this bachelor life,has got to be the best, I lay around the house all day,don't even have to get dressed, Playin'Poker with my buddies,you know I just can't seem to lose, So could someone please explain, Why does this feel like the blues. (repeat chorus) It's obvious I miss you,can't deny a well known fact, I just don't know how to grovel,& keep my dignity intact, So I'm pullin'out the stops Babe,usin'all I got to use, Cause I got to get you back home, To cure these ailin'lovesick blues. Livin'like a free man,just isn't where it's at, An'even though I'm allergic,you can bring home that long haired cat, An' when your mama comes to visit,I'll mind my P,s & Q,s, Cause this happiness ain't worth it, When you're sufferin'with the blues. (Ron Horvath 2001) |

Subject: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Hangman - John P From: John P Date: 04 Mar 03 - 09:48 AM Telynor is a duet consisting of Anna and John Peekstok. Hangman is an American version of a song with many versions in the British Isles and America: The Gallows Pole, The Maid Freed From the Gallows, The Prickle Berry Bush, Hangs-a-man, etc. Anna learned this one from her mother. Anna's octave mandolin is tuned GDAE. She's playing Am chords but has a capo on the third fret, so the song's in Cm. My cittern is tuned EAEAE and is capoed on the 15th fret. I stole a riff from "Battle of Evermore" by Led Zeppelin and stuck it in between the verses. -- JP 14. Hangman |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Genie Date: 04 Mar 03 - 02:24 PM Thanks, John. I didn't think that was you on lead vocals on that song! ;-) I added your notes to the composite at the top of the thread. Genie |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: UB Ed Date: 10 Mar 03 - 11:30 PM John needs to talk a little about his tuning on Hangman. That sincerely kicks! Ed |

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: UB Ed Date: 11 Mar 03 - 12:57 PM JP, the Evermore part is very cool and a nice interplay given Zep did a version of hangman. Until you mentioned that, I was mistakenly thinking the riff was part of their hangman. 15th fret? Jeez, what's left? Ed |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Genie Date: 23 Mar 03 - 11:36 PM In case you've started from the last post, here are the links to the composite liner notes (the first two posts in this thread). Normal print size liner notes -- e.g., for use in PROMOTING THE CDs! (Hint, hint!) Small Print liner notes (to fit inside CD Case) Still have a few more notes to add, including the lyrics to English Jon's version of Bold Jackie Tar. Genie |

Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Chris Amos Date: 27 Mar 03 - 04:29 PM Hi, English Jon is Jon Loomes, I will try to contact him, might be after the weekend before I get an answer. If I can't get hold of him I will transcribe the words myself. Chris |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Genie Date: 27 Mar 03 - 08:51 PM Thanks, Chris. I didn't try to transcribe them myself partly because sometimes it's hard to hear exactly what Jon is singing. Genie |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Chris Amos Date: 29 Mar 03 - 02:09 AM Hi, I contacted Jon yesterday, the reason that he hasn't been responding to your requests is that he is without a computer at present. He has recently moved to Doncaster and taken the jump, thrown over the day job and gone professional. He is going to send me the words etc. for the song and I will post them as soon as they arrive (by snail mail). Chris |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Chris Amos Date: 05 Apr 03 - 03:04 AM Well, Jon hasn't sent me the stuff so I have transcribed the words. Jon, as you can hear from the track is a wonderful, young guitarist. He has just taken the jump and turned professional. If you would like to book him, and I suggest you do, an excellent evening guaranteed, pm me and I will give you a contact number. Jacky Tar Jacky Tar one day out walking, He's heard a squire and the lady talking. Jack heard him to the lady say "Tonight with you, I mean to lay" With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day "Just tie a string all round your finger Let the other end dangle all from your window, Then I'll come by and pull on the string You come down and you'll let me in, With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day "Damn me", says Jack, "Why don't I venture, To see if a poor sailor can't win such a treasure." So he's gone by and pulled on the string And she's came down and she let him in With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day The squire came by, in such a fashion, He cursed all women throughout the nation, For he's got there, no string he's found Behold, his hopes were dashed to the ground With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day The sun arose the very next morning, And the lady arose and started screaming For there lay Jack in his tarry shirt And behold, his face all covered with dirt With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day "How came you here you tarry sailor? Have you broken in to steal my treasure?" "Oh no," says Jack, "I pulled on the string You came down and let me in" With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day Well, he says, "I beg your pardon" But I'll steal off quiet so no one shall see me." "Oh no!" she says, "Don't you go far For I never will part from my little Jacky Tar With my in my own and my good lac-a- daisy Righ fol de diddle, Right fol de day I have no details of how Jon came by this song. Regards, now we can put this to bed Chris |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Genie Date: 05 Apr 03 - 03:37 AM Thanks, Chris. I'll add these to the composite notes tomorrow. (Too tired tonight.) I'm trying to share my CDs with as many folks as I can, 'cause there are so many talented people on them. Maybe some of them will get gigs or CD sales from people hearing the Mudcat CDs. Jon is, indeed, very talented. Genie |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: English Jon Date: 08 Apr 03 - 09:25 AM Oops... CD right here in heap of stuff to go in post as promised. Sorry Chris - it's been a mad week - am taking most of house to pieces - electrician coming etc. Have got computer fixed though, which is a start. Song is from one of the old EFDSS books - I seem to remember that the tune is from London and the words are pretty much universal. Tuning used there is DADEAD although you can get away with leaving it in DADEAB, DADEAE etc as only the bottom 5 strings are used! Will get that CD off post haste - got a few invoices that need to go out too so I better rush of to the Post office. Cheers, Jon |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Genie Date: 04 Feb 04 - 07:08 PM Thanks, Chris and Jon. Now all we need are the lyrics to "I've Had That Happen To Me." |
Subject: RE: Mudcat CD Strawberry: Liner Notes PermaThread From: Genie Date: 05 Apr 11 - 10:39 AM Refreshing the older Mudcat CD Liner Notes threads as a resource for whoever is putting together the liner notes for the new series. The basic liner is shown in the first post of each of these threads. When I was compiling these threads, I was able to edit the liner notes as people submitted new info or corrections to me, and that was very helpful. Genie |
