Subject: lyric request: fox hunting song From: belter Date: 04 Feb 97 - 10:25 AM there is a song I heard a long time ago that starts out talking about a song the singers grandmother sang. then goes into an apallations still chorus 'come a hye hye he and a dipy dipy dove round the woods the bow wow wow' or something like that. It really stuck in my mind and I wounder if anyone knows the words and who sang or wrote it. |
Subject: RE: lyric request: fox hunting song From: catfeet@ici.net Date: 04 Feb 97 - 07:22 PM I think the song that you're looking for is called Berayna. It has been recently recorded by Custer La Rue on the album A true lovers Farewell. It has that chorus Hip hip hip and a hi ho down the narrow track a whoop whoop whoop etc.. I'd copy down the lyrics for you except that I seem to have mislaid my album inset with them all. I hope this helps.

Subject: RE: lyric request: fox hunting song From: dick greenhaus Date: 05 Feb 97 - 09:19 PM I haven't heard Ms. LaRue sing it, but it sounds strangely like a version that Marais and Miranda used to perform. I'll bet that Berayna is a corruption of Beau Reynard. |
Subject: Lyr Add: BEAU REYNOLDS From: dick greenhaus Date: 05 Feb 97 - 09:44 PM Hi- I found the Marais and Miranda version--it sounds like it may be related. For what it's worth: BEAU REYNOLDS
The first man I saw was the parson
CHO: With me hip-pip-pip an' me ola
The next man I saw was the ragman
The last ma I saw was the miller
(Marais said it was English in origin. tan-ta-ra!) |
Subject: Lyr Add: THREE JOLLY SPORTSMEN From: Anne Cormack Date: 05 Feb 97 - 11:21 PM Hi, I've got a version of something very similar to Dick's, called THREE JOLLY SPORTSMEN
1. It's of three jolly sportsmen went out to hunt the fox,
CHORUS: With me hip, hip, hip and me halloa
2. Well, the first we met was a fair maid, a-combing out her locks,
3. The next we met was a farmer, a-plowing of his land,
4. And the next we met was a miller, a-working of his mill,
5. The next we met was a blind man, as blind as blind could be,
6. And the next we met was a parson, and he was dressed in black I'm in a group called Brimstone and Treacle which sings three part unaccompanied traditional Anglo-Celtic songs. We've done a presentation called "Hunting Songs of the British Isles" at a couple of festivals. Anyone interested in more of this ilk let me know. |
Subject: RE: lyric request: fox hunting song From: belter Date: 06 Feb 97 - 12:44 PM I'm certianly interest the sort of song you suplied, but the song I was looking for was a song about a song. The song it was about may have been that or some song with a common ansester. I did hear it done on the tv show Nashvile Now a few years agoe, but didn't get the singers name. |
Subject: RE: lyric request: fox hunting song From: rich r Date: 04 Mar 97 - 02:08 PM This unsolved request has been bothering me, because I think I have heard the song that was requested. It was sometime in the early 80's on Austin City Limits. The best I can come up with is that it might be "Grandma's Song" by Gail Davies. I searched the net for lyrics, but found none. I did find out that she had been on ACL about 1982, although I could have seen a rerun. She did haved a song by that name on a 1979 album. Maybe this will jog the memory of someone else. Otherwise check out the country music section to see if any of her material has been reissued on CD, or head for the nearest used record store. Sorry this is as incomplete as it is. I hope you find it. rich r |
Subject: RE: lyric request: fox hunting song From: belter Date: 04 Mar 97 - 03:15 PM I've only heard this song three or four times but it stuck with me. A couple of time I heard it on the radio, and mabe 5,6 years agoe I heard it on Nashvile Now. I glad to get a lead. Sounds like a prity good chance thats the one I'm looking for. Funny really, it doesn't sound like my gandma, but it makes me think of her. This is a song that just gabed me by the heart. I can't thank you enough. |
