Subject: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: GARYD Date: 29 Jul 98 - 10:55 PM Hello again!..It's been a long time..glad to be back.. I recently saw a great documentary on yodeling a few weeks ago as a tribute to Patsy Montana. The songs I heard were by Swiss style yodelers fom New Glarus Wisconsin, and the great country yodelers Elton Britt, Montana Slim (Wilf Carter), Jimmie Rodgers, and others. I yodel at local jams, & have lost the words to those songs I heard years ago. If any of you could give me lyrics to the following, I would appreciate it. I searched DT & no luck... Thanks..P.S. Thanks to you guys who set up DT..I downloaded It with my Mac & it's wonderful, complete with the sound! Lyrics needed for: Sleep Baby Sleep...Jimmie Rodgers Waitin' for a train.. same Blue yodel no 11..... same My little old home in New Orleans.. same Sadie..... Montana Slim or Elton Britt She taught me to yodel...? My Swiss Moonlight Lullaby..Montana Slim Rocking over River.. Les Wilson. Also: Anybody ever been to New Glarus Wisconsin for Chees Days?...Where abouts is it?... I live in MN & would be great fun to visit... Thanks, Gary

Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Jul 98 - 11:17 PM Hi, Gary - I haven't been there since I was a teenager, but I remember New Glarus as a pretty little town - and I remember quite distinctly that one of the main drags in town is called Shake-Rag Street (but my memory is fading, and that street could be in another little burg in that area). It's just south of Madison, so it shouldn't be too much of a drive for you. Hey, they have an annual Polkafest, too. I'd like to go to that one. -Joe Offer-

Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: GaryD Date: 20 Aug 98 - 11:55 PM I decided to try again with the yodeling songs request..Thanks again Joe, for your usual good natured input.. I'd love to go there for Cheese days & listen. All right, gang!... How about it? You going to get me the words to those yodeling songs? Not much help last time..(course I was detained from checking each day, either!...Strange as it seems, I guess I "do" have a life beyond this lovely machine! |
Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: GaryD Date: 04 Dec 98 - 10:50 PM I am still attempting to get words for yodeling tunes.. I've laid in the weeds for months now, but finally got to Mudcat again. Surely there is more than Joe and I who are interested in Yodeling... Is anyone out there the least bit knowledgeable about the words to those songs? Or at least can you provide a site where I can find them? Oh dee Oh lay dee who! Gary |
Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: Ritchie Date: 05 Dec 98 - 03:32 AM I've just been listening to a CD by Jimmie Rodgers 'the singing cowboy' just for the yodels..and here it is as a thread...mmmm.Spooky...x file material. So people still actually yodel out there without wearing liederhosen....Unfortunately Gary there are no words with the CD but Jimmie sounds like he's singing 'and your old lady to !' to a couple of them. Good luck Ritchie

Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: rich r Date: 06 Dec 98 - 04:59 PM I always thought that yodelling and lyrics were mutually exclusive. Joe, Thanks for the link to New Glarus. Sure it has polkas, but the really big festivals are the Heidi Festival in early summer and the Wilhelm Tell Festival on Labor Day weekend. That 's when the big outdoor theater productions (of Heidi and Wm. Tell) take place and the locals all wear Swiss costumes down to their knees so they don't have to change outfits for the evening show. Cheese Days, alas, is not a New Glarus event. Cheese Days is celebrated in Monroe (about 15 miles south of New Glarus on Hiway 69) in the fall of alternate years. The "modern" Cheese Days was ressurected in the mid 1960's. I only know this because I graduated from Monroe High School in 1965 and my dad continued to live there until 1974. This brings us to Shake Rag Street in Mineral Point, Wis! It was lead (aka mineral) mining that brought the first group of settlers to Mineral Point. Many of the first group dug into the hjillside and lived in the "badger" holes they dug, giving Wisconsin is Badger State nickname. In a few years Cornish hard rock miners moved in and brought their superior technology and experience. Shake Rag Street got its name from the habit of the miners wives going out of their houses along the street and waving pieces of cloth to their husbands on the opposite hillside to summon them to eat. The street is a tourist attraction today and some of the old Cornish houses have been restored. I guess it is one of my duties in life to badger "Badger Joe" about the badger holes in the "Badger State Lore" file in his software. It seems that if you've got a computer on the left coast that was programed from the right coast, hten the middle coast sometimes gets squished. rich r |

Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: DonMeixner Date: 09 Dec 98 - 10:59 PM Gary, I know you didn't ask and you probably already know how good the original Sons of the Pioneers were but if not I would recomend a recording of remasters from 1935-38. The band is Len Slye (Roy Rogers)Bob Nolan, Hugh and Carl Farr, and Tim Spencer. This was before Roy became King of the Cowboys, Their harmony yodels made anything else of the day sound bland. Especially on "Way Out There". The Farr brothers are so good you would swear it was Django Reinhardt (sp?) and Stephan Grappelli (sp?) Don |

Also, anyone still out there who can lay down more lyrics from the songs I started with? Still looking.. thanks Gary |
Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: Dale Rose Date: 09 Feb 99 - 12:07 AM June 18-19 will be the second annual Tribute to Patsy Montana at the Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View, Arkansas. She was a native of Jessieville, AR. Last year's special guests were Liz Masterson and Sean Blackburn, Blue Stem, and Michael Losey Montana. I don't know yet who is scheduled to be there this year.
The Elton Britt Tribute is scheduled for July 30-31. He was born in Marshall, AR. Kerry Christensen and The Hammer Sisters were there last year. Both events are well worth attending, but then so is just about any night during the season, April through October. |

Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: Ferrara Date: 14 Feb 99 - 07:12 PM I think I *may* have "She Taught Me to Yodel." I heard it myself in the late 40's (?) or early 50's I guess, loved it, have been looking for it. But it's going to take a real dig thru my tapes. E-mail me or Bill D (my husband, who gets on Mudcat a lot oftener than I do) if you haven't heard in a week or so. Can you find and check a list of song titles on Kathy Fink and Marcy Marxer's CD's and tapes? They do a lot of good old yodeling songs. |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE YODELLING HILLBILLY^^ From: Craig Date: 01 Mar 99 - 09:54 PM Here's a little song a friend of mine named Elda Hall sang at our talent show last Fall. THE YODELLING HILLIBILLY I yodel in the mountains, I yodel in the hills, I yodel on the radio, That's how I pay my bill. If you will listen closely, I will tell you this, If you will listen closely, I will imitate a Swiss. Eydely aidely ohdely aidely eydely aidely dee, Eydely aidely dee ohdely aidely dee, Eydely aidely ohdely aidely eydely aidely dee, eydely aidely dee dee dee dee Eyde oh-lo-oo, whee-deedlee-de-deeoh, lee-oh-oo, dee-oh, lee-oh-oo-dee. Eyde oh-lo-oo, whee-deedlee-de-deeoh, lee-oh-oo, dee-oh, lee-oh-oo-dee. Here's a story I will tell, 'Bout my Rocky Mountain gal, She was everything to me my very life. We had smiles and we had tears, And for 27 years, She had promised me someday she'd be my wife. Whith the ceremony planned, I had bought the wedding band, And unvited all the neighbors from the farms. But, the day we were to wed, I got tired and stayed in bed. Now the whole durn countryside is up in arms. Chorus: Oh, they're burnin' down the house I was brought u-u-p in, And they're shouting come on out and take your bride. Oh, they're burnin' down the house I was brought u-u-p in, What a fool I'd be if I went outside. Oh, they brought along their lunch, And I guess the whole durn bunch, Thinks they're goin' to sit around and starve me out. But inside I've got a cow, And she's courtin' roastbeef now, So you see they don't know what it's all about. Oh, to me it's all a joke, I can stand a lot of smoke. In the firemen's band I used to play trombone. But, they've got me on the spot, And it's gettin' mighty hot, But to me this burnin' shack is home sweet home. Repeat Chorus and end with yodel. She remembered hearing it on the radio about *& years ago. Craig HTML line breaks added. -JoeClone 18-Jan-2001. |

Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 11 Sep 03 - 10:18 AM Why does someone refresh a thread that started in 1998, with the requester being last heard from in 1999? |
Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: wysiwyg Date: 11 Sep 03 - 10:22 AM Because the thread is a list of yodeling songs, and anyone looking for them in a forum search will open this thread-- there are a lot of compilation threads here of songs about various topics or by various artists or highlighting classics/favorites of particlar genres. It's an accumulating resource to people interested in the subject of the compilation-- a catalogue of sorts. They emerge over time as people think of new ideas or examples. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 11 Sep 03 - 12:57 PM Nice to have these together, with notes such as Louis Roy's on the Rodgers thread. Saves a lot of digging around. I have added it to my "check-list" of useful threads. |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE COBBLER From: GUEST Date: 12 Nov 03 - 02:16 PM Hi, my name is Les (from England) I learned these words to 'The Cobbler' song way back in the 50s and have sang them many, many times over the years. I didn't know there were so many people interested in yodelling until I came upon your page. Just in case anyone is interested, I have typed in the words. I sure hope someone can come up with a recording of it. If I remember rightly, I think it was recorded by Harry Wulson. I hope someone, somewhere can use and enjoy the song as much as I have. Thanks for listening Les (the Brit) THE COBBLER I started my life as a cobbler Working from morning till night To earn a good honest living I've struggled hard all my life Now the years when I was single I wish that I had been wed So a nice little widow some morning Would bring up my breakfast to bed With a twi ey ti iddle ey and a whack fal ey doodle ey ay With a whack fal ey doodle ey addie With a whack fal ey doodle ey ay Yodel Well I think I will put up my shutters cos the business is getting quite dull I can't make enough for tobacco - It's driving me up the pole So to all of those Government skivvies and the people that tax you so well If I had my own way with the blighters I'd drop 'em right down in the well With a twi ey ti iddle ey and a whack fal ey doodle ey ay With me last and me tacks and me hammer I'd yodel my worries away Yodel |
Subject: RE: LYRICS: YODELING SONGS From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 12 Nov 03 - 10:43 PM The Origin of Yodeling. Have you ever wondered where and how yodeling began? Many years ago a man was traveling through the mountains of Switzerland. Nightfall was rapidly approaching and he had nowhere to sleep. He went up to a farmhouse and asked the farmer if he could spend the night. The farmer told him that he could sleep in the barn. The farmer's daughter came down from upstairs and asked her father, "Who was that man going into the barn?" "That's some fellow traveling through," said the farmer. "He needed a place to stay for the night, so I said that he could sleep in the barn. "Perhaps he is hungry." said the daughter. And she prepared him a plate of food and took it out to the barn. About an hour later, the daughter returned, her clothing disheveled and straw in her hair. Straight up to bed she went. The farmer's wife was very observant. She then suggested that perhaps the man was thirsty. So she fetched a bottle of wine, took it out to the barn, and she too did not return for an hour! Her clothing was askew, her blouse buttoned incorrectly and her hair all messed up. She also headed straight to bed. The next morning at sunrise the man in the barn got up and continued on his journey, waving to the farmer as he left. When the daughter awoke and learned that the visitor was gone, she broke into tears. "How could he leave without even saying goodbye," she cried, "after we made such passionate love last night?" "What?" shouted the farmer and angrily ran out of the house looking for the man, who by now was halfway up the mountain. The farmer screamed up at him, "I'm gonna get you! You had sex with my daughter!" The man looked back down from the mountainside, cupped his hand next to his mouth, and yelled out, ...... wait for it!!! (Scroll down) "LAIDTHEOLADEETOO!" |

She went into her bathroom and turned on the lights. She looked into her mirror and all of a sudden, the lights went out. She looked into the mirror and saw a person standing next to her with a long blood covered knife. She was holding it up over Jessica's head. Jessica looked around and felt around but felt nobody else in the room. She turned around and turned on the lights. She turned around and there was no person beside her or in the mirror anymore. Then she looked on the ground and saw something red. She bent down and felt it. It was wet and looked like blood. Bloody Mary didn't hurt Jessica only because she sent the e-mail to 15 other people. Now you have to too or Bloody Mary might get you. Send it to 14 or lower people, and you never know what might happen... |
