Subject: Info Add: RAIN AND THE RIVER (Callahan, Fox) From: Jim Dixon Date: 13 Feb 23 - 12:17 PM I believe I have identified the song that several Mudcatters have quoted above: RAIN AND THE RIVER Words by J. Will Callahan (1874-1946); music by Oscar J. Fox (1879-1961); copyright 1936. Sheet music published by: C.C. Birchard & Company, Boston. First line of verse: River looks black with the shadows on it First line of chorus: I loves the rain, and I loves the river Sheet music held by (and this information provided by): Baylor University – Arts and Special Collections Research Center Unfortunately, the sheet music is not viewable online because the song is still under copyright. You might be able to find the sheet music in a library near you by following this link to WorldCat.org. On YouTube, I found a recording by the 1983 Calhoun High School Concert Choir (of Merrick, NY) but some of the words are incomprehensible to me; you might have better success at transcribing it if you are aided by memory. I think I get the gist of it, though – and I find it rather incredible that a person would be so complacent about seeing his cabin and farm wiped out by a flood because he “loves the rain and … the river.” Are there racist assumptions built into this song? (The song seems to be written in dialect, so I assume the narrator is supposed to be black. Funny how we don’t question things if we grow up with them.) |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: leeneia Date: 01 Feb 23 - 12:57 PM I told the Lester S. Levy Sheet Music Collection [that's a website of popular American tunes] to search for "the river", and it says it has 219 titles with those words in them. Happy browsing. |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,Phil d'Conch Date: 26 Jan 23 - 04:37 PM "Ohio boating-lay..." is the closest reference I could find that does not link to the Hutchinsons. But no music or lyrics for this one either: “Scene, the Thames. The Tipperary skiff is making her way with the tide. EVERARD CLIVE and the TRAVELLING BACHELOR are at the oars; the WHISKEY-DRINKER and the FENMAN are in the stern-sheets. WHISKEY-DRINKER. Ease off a little, Everard––the tide will carry her on––and give us some of your conversation, such as it is. EVERARD CLIVE. Easy it is. We'll just give a stroke or two to guide her, and draw it mild down to Kew. Bachelor, you will not object to a little “otium cum dignitate,” I suppose. TRAVELLING BACHELOR. Certainly not. We, “Laboriosi remiges Ulyssei,” have brought her smartly enough down from Twickenham. Drinker, give us the Canadian boat song. EVERARD CLIVE. Let us have something a little more novel. The Ohio boating-lay for instance. Or is there any song from the Oregon streams? I wonder whether the Yankees will get up any boat-races on the Columbia. FENMAN. They must get possession of it first, which will not be effected quite so easily, in spite of all the blustering of their press and orators. These “Sweet creatures of bombast” are like Falstaff, more prone to the exercise of the tongue than of the sword.” [Tipperary Hall, No.V, Bentley's Miscellany, Vol.19, 1846] |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,Phil d'Conch Date: 26 Jan 23 - 04:31 PM One source, three titles: “SCOTLAND Soon, the Hutchinsons grouped themselves, as if by some irresistible attraction, and sang piece after piece, to the rapture of their hearers. Those who had heard them sing “The Cot where We were Born,” "The Ohio Boatman,” and “Excelsior,” may conceive something of our delight. And, of all things to be doing, they were teaching us to play “Fox and Geese” on the green below. They themselves played with great humor; and in the midst of our fun, I saw that all the servants of the house were looking on from the corner of the terrace, and not a few laborers from outside the gate. ENGLAND ...On one occasion we were at his concert and agreed to sing on the chorus of one of his songs. We were behind a screen, out of sight of the audience, and when we struck into the chorus of the “Boatmen of the Ohio,” it seemed as if the house would come down….” AMERICAN SONGS ...In London Mrs. Charles Dickens became their friend and invited them on one occasion to make a morning call at her house for the express purpose of singing to her father, William Hogarth, who was a musical critic of considerable repute and influence. When the Hutchinsons arrived at the appointed morning, and were introduced to a particularly cold and very serious old gentleman who seated himself stiffly at the farther end of the room, evidently prepared for the worst, their hearts misgave them. Without much reflection they struck up the “Ohio Boatman's Song.” and went through it so successfully that the stern censor at the other end of the parlor literally flew to shake them, individually, by the hand, and to assure them he has never before listened to such delicious harmony.” [Story of the Hutchinsons (tribe of Jesse), Vol.I-III, Hutchinson, 1896] |
|
Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,Phil d'Conch Date: 26 Jan 23 - 04:29 PM RE: Ohio Boatman –– No lyrics or music and the title keeps changing ever so slightly but it's always the Hutchinsons. “Perhaps too large a proportion of their programme is devoted to painful subjects to be acceptable in this careworn land of ours; at least one or two catches sung with great neatness and an Ohio boatman's Glee, (a far-off cousin to 'The Canadian Boat Song.') fell upon the ear very cheerily after the graver ditties.” [The Eclectic Magazine, Vol.7, 1846] Hutchinson Family Singers Note: The 1845 tour of great Britain was by the Hutchinson Family quartet. There was a much later political adaptation of Emmett's De Boatmnan's Daunce for Abraham Lincoln's run, but nothing c.1840s as yet. |

Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: HEALING RIVER (Hellerman&...) From: Tim K Date: 18 Jan 23 - 11:41 PM Healing River's a great song I haven't seen mentioned. My notes say it was written by Fred Hellerman and Fran Minkoff, and Pete Seeger and recorded it on 1964's I Can See a New Day. The lyrics: O healing river, send down your waters Send down your waters upon this land O healing river, send down your waters To wash the blood from off the sand This land is thirsting, this land is parching No seed is growing in the barren ground This land is thirsting, this land is parching O healing river, send your water down Let the seed of freedom, awake and flourish Let the deep roots nourish, let the tall stalk rise Oh seed of freedom, awake and flourish Proud leaves uncurling, into the skies For what it's worth, my simplification of the chords Pete plays go like this, transcribed Rise Up Singing style: 1st verse G D G C / G A DA D / G B7 Em A / G AmD GC G [1st v.] 2nd verse: same as first, but end of B7 instead of G 3rd verse: Em — B7 — / Em A DA D / G B7 Em A / G AmD GC G |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: Haruo Date: 07 May 13 - 03:29 PM Skyway, just SE of Seattle. It's unlikely I'll be up anytime soon, but you never know. I have my passport. ;-) Will be going (unexpectedly) to Oaxaca next month, looking forward to some Mazatec hill music there, and there will doubtless be some sing-alongs at NOREK (Esperanto regional meeting) on Vancouver Island in September. Looks like your songcircles are generally on Wednesdays, and as luck would have it I generally have Wednesday and Thursday off, which would make that an ideal evening to be out of town... We'll see... Haruo |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST Date: 07 May 13 - 02:12 PM We're the Vancouver Folk Song Society and we'd love to have you at our songcircles anytime, Haruo. Our themed songcircles have become so popular that last time we had insufficient space for everyone to sit and join in! Future themes (and other events) are always posted on our calendar. http://www.folksongsociety.org/VFSS%20calendar.html I've already begun posting the themes for the fall. Where are you that you're within a day's commute of Vancouver/Victoria? |

Subject: Lyr Add: GOODBYE TO THE RIVER From: GUEST,sciencegeek Date: 07 May 13 - 11:59 AM Mike wrote this song some time ago, after reading "Goodbye to a River" - a book by John Graves, published in 1960. It is a "semi-historical" account of a canoe trip made by the author during the fall of 1957 down a stretch of the Brazos River in North Central Texas, between Possum Kingdom Dam and Lake Whitney that was slated to have as many as 13 dams built along it. He really needs to sing this one more often... sigh. GOODBYE TO THE RIVER He went back to the river with his Old Town canoe, that his father had bought when they both were young He put in his pack, with his rod and his tack and his 12 gauge Remington gun He watches the pup run along by the shore Everything's wondrous and new Thinks of old times and seasons of change Remembers when he was young too River of darkness, river of light, river so wild and free Out from the hills 'cross the West Texas plains, rolling down to the sea. The sounds of the river flow thru his mind, like the stories his grandfather told And clouds drift by on November's winds, life and the river move slow Darkness surrounds him with the coming of night The pup is asleep by the warm fireside As the embers sparkle and flicker and fly As they dance their dance cross the sky River of hardship, river of strife, river so wild and free Out from the hills 'cross the West Texas plains, rolling down to the sea He pulls into the reeds at dawn's early light, the canvasbacks fly on their way He picks up his gun, then puts it back down, there'll be no killing today As the panorama before unfolds, A tapestry woven in silvers an golds A vision of life that few will see And he feels wild and free River of history, river of life, river so wild and free Out from the hills 'cross the West Texas plains, rolling down to the sea He climbs the embankment to get to the road, hitch into town, and gives a call home I'll be back in a while, but I don't know quite when, I'll be on the river 'till then For they're building the dams at Monk and Shalan, And everything south of the Possum King Dam Will no longer be wild, and no longer be free As it slowly flows to the sea River of darkness, river of light, hardship and toil, history and life Meandering memories abide every bend He's saying goodbye to the river He's saying goodbye to a friend |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: Haruo Date: 07 May 13 - 11:13 AM So, guest, is that Vancouver or Victoria? Those sound like wonderful songcircles, almost makes me want to take a day off for the commute. |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,guest Date: 06 May 13 - 11:54 PM Our folk club just had a river-themed songcircle evening last month and I've posted on our website all the songs sung. http://www.folksongsociety.org/VFSS%20Songcircle%20Song%20Lists.html Apologies if any of the titles are wrong; I just go by what the singer tells me! |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST Date: 06 May 13 - 07:58 PM I arrived at this thread trying to find the lyrics to the unnamed Rain and the River song that people keep referring to. I also learned this song in High School choir and whenever we get a storm the words just flow through my brain! :) |
|
Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST Date: 23 Mar 13 - 04:17 PM Rain and the River. I, too, remember this song from my high school days I;ve wondered what its origin was. The first person who mentioned it made it sound like a spiritual, but the arrangement I recall was a bit theatrical like "Ole Man River". I thought it (Rain & River) too was from a musical, but I have never seen it mentioned anywhere except this "river string" It comes to mind and I sing it sometimes in my truck when storm clouds billow up. |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: Haruo Date: 20 Aug 12 - 03:30 PM Roll, Willamette River, roll down to the sea, Roll, Willamette River, down through your green country or something like that It's driving me and Mrs. Haruo (rootbeer) up a wall not being able to find it in either personal memory, CD collection, or online... |
|
Subject: RE: River Songs From: Haruo Date: 20 Aug 12 - 12:27 AM My niece drove us from Seattle to Walla Walla and back last week, and each time we crossed the Columbia (four times in total) we sang the chorus to "Roll On, Columbia" all the way across. There's a good one about the Willamette, too, but I'm drawing a blank. |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: Elmore Date: 19 Aug 12 - 09:14 PM Then, there's "paddling Down the Rahway" by the sublime Kim Wallach. |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,Beverly howard Date: 18 Aug 12 - 11:06 PM I also sang river looks black with the shadows on it way back in the early 60s. Would love to know it's origins and all the words. |
|
Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,Bob Shutt Date: 02 Jun 12 - 10:02 PM I sang this song in college glee club (50 years ago). My fragmented and probably scuffled sequence recollection goes: River looks black with the shadows on it Mighty black clouds in the sky above. Still I aint scared of the rain doggone it. River and rain are the things I love. Rain, pour down on me, I'm happy as I can be. For I love the rain and I love the river. (cant recall this line) Let the river take the cabin and the flood soak the ground. I'll build another cabin when the food goes down. What do I care if the cloud get stormy What do I care if the rain should fall. River's my pal,and the rain's my buddy. (not this line either) |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,Frank Date: 28 Dec 10 - 11:55 PM Surely someone's mentioned "Moon River" from "Breakfast at Tiffany's". I must have missed it, and don't call me Shirley. |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: Bobert Date: 27 Dec 10 - 08:07 PM Couple of my favorites: "The River" by Dan Fogleberg (very pretty song, very pretty...) and "The Big Muddy" by Bruce Springsteen... I'm sure that someone has already mentioned Neil Young's "Down by the River" and the gospel/blues song "Wade in the Water"... B~ |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: freda underhill Date: 05 Jun 10 - 07:34 AM John Warner's wonderful song, Murrumbidgee Water, about the Murrumbidgee river in Victoria, can be heard here if you click on the CDs link. |
|
Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,Elisabeth Date: 04 Jun 10 - 07:10 PM What about 'Only Our Rivers Run Free'? The Irish Tenors' version is wonderful. Try this: 'River Robin.' Worth looking up the film it was written for, Heart of the Golden West, just to hear the Hall Johnson Choir sing with Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers. Also, 'Where the Rio Rolls Along,' another Pioneer song. Excerpt here. |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 04 Jun 10 - 06:33 PM The amazing thing is that more river songs have not been written. Rivers are such enduring symbols and many have melodious names as well. Just in my personal experience in the western U.S., I know the Snake, the Virgin, the Animas, Green, Walker, Kaweah, Kings, Kern, Colorado, Gila, San Joaquin, American, Sacramento, Russian and dozens of others, large and small. Unless you live in an arid, treeless plain, you likely have one near you. Many have colorful histories as well. Maybe some will be inspired to contribute a song or two of their own. |
|
Subject: RE: River Songs From: Joe_F Date: 03 Jun 10 - 06:40 PM There are many flood songs among the blues. Black people's houses were among the first to go. I'd have to paw thru my records to find the titles, tho. |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: Art Thieme Date: 03 Jun 10 - 02:26 PM Whew, I just realized that this thread dates from 1998! Well, never mind, then. Can't believe I just typed this all out!! Sorry, Art |
|
Subject: RE: River Songs From: Art Thieme Date: 03 Jun 10 - 02:23 PM My cassette called ON THE RIVER is one I recorded in 2 hours because I needed a recording to sell passengers on the Julia Belle Swain where I sang for a decade-- on the Mississippi River mainly-- the Illinois River too. The passengers back then, 1986 to 1997, did nor know about or want CDs---just cassettes. I fleshed it out with live recordings from old shows of mine to be a CD for Sandy Paton on Folk Legacy Records---but it never came to fruition. (I sure do miss Sandy.) I did tell Sandy that if it came out, I wanted it to be my gift to Caroline and him. Below is what I was thinking might be included in the CD called Art Thieme--On The River CD. Mike Fink's Bet (a short tall tale) Stackerlee Bayou Sara Julia Belle Swain Blues (by me) Lost Jimmie Whalen (lumberjack tragedy on the river) What Does The Deep Sea Say Banks Of Ponchartrain Goin' To Cairo Rock River Valley (by me) Diamond Jo (about the Steamboat Diamond Jo) The State Of Illinois Waterbound Down By The Embarrass (by Win Stracke) The Big Catfish (tall tale) Shanty Boy On The Big Eau Claire Is Your Lamps Gone Out A Lock And Dam Tale (another tall tale) Annie Christmas (tall tale)/Catfish John Minimizing hard times with tall tales (spoken) 9-Pound Hammer/Big River (by Johnny Cash) The BILLDAD (a tall tale) Shenandoah The Great Turtle Drive/Red River Valley (musical saw) The Red River Shore (river variant of a Child Ballad) I hope some of these ideas might help.

Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,camille Date: 03 Jun 10 - 10:26 AM Rain and the River.....that song takes me back to junior high music class around 1962. That was one cool song. In our class the boys sang the first two lines..."river looks black with the shadows on it"... then the girls sang ...."mighty black sky with the clouds above"..then the boys again sang..."still I ain't scared of the rain doggonit, river and rain are the things I love"... then in unison for the rest. We never learned the part about the levee and so on. This was in Indianapolis at an integrated school with a white music teacher. I always loved this song but couldn't find anyone else who remembered it, so thank you and thanks to Google. |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: GUEST,bobkenton Date: 05 Sep 06 - 01:11 PM I'd like to recommend the lovely, cool, meandering, groovy 'The River' by Terry Reid. I've been planning a 'river' song compilation: here are some others I've thought of: 2 songs by Randy Newman: 'Louisiana 1927' and 'Burn On, Big River' from 'Good Old Boys' A song on John Martyn's 'Bless the Weather' called something like 'Back Down the River' 'Yes, the River Knows' by the Doors (Waiting For the Sun) Many Rivers to Cross - Jimmy Cliff Train and the River, by Jimmy Giuffre I cast my net wide and include 'The Rio Grande', a great jazzy choral piece by Constant Lambert from a Sachaverell Sitwell poem (1920s), and Schubert's Die Forelle (the Trout, the song, or the adaptation of its melody in the eponymous piano quintet). Why not? |

Subject: Lyr Add: LA SEINE (recorded by Jacqueline François From: Genie Date: 02 Sep 06 - 08:57 AM Found it. It was recorded by Jacqueline François. For those who don't know French, this is a very sensual song describing La Seine as the paramour of the city of Paris, e.g., "She sings, sings, sings, sings, sings day and night, For the Seine is a lover and her lover is Paris" or (last verse) "... for the Seine is a lover and Paris sleeps in her bed." LA SEINE La Seine est aventureuse De Châtillon à Méry, Et son humeur voyageuse Flâne à travers le pays ... Elle se fait langoureuse De Juvisy à Choisy Pour aborder, l'âme heureuse, L'amoureux qu'elle a choisi! Elle roucoule, coule, coule Dès qu'elle entre dans Paris! Elle s'enroule, roule, roule Autour de ses quais fleuris! Elle chante, chante, chante, chante, Chant' le jour et la nuit, Car la Seine est une amante Et son amant c'est Paris ! Elle traîne d'île en île, Caressant le Vieux Paris, Elle ouvre ses bras dociles Au sourire du roi Henri... Indifférente aux édiles De la mairie de Paris, Elle court vers les idylles Des amants des Tuileries! Elle roucoule, coule, coule Du Pont-Neuf jusqu'à Passy! Elle est soûle, soûle, soûle Au souvenir de Bercy! Elle chante, chante, chante, chante, Chant' le jour et la nuit... Si sa marche est zigzagante C'est qu'elle est grise à Paris! Mais la Seine est paresseuse, En passant près de Neuilly, Ah ! comme elles est malheureuse De quitter son bel ami! Dans un étreinte amoureuse Elle enlace encore Paris, Pour lui laisser, généreuse, Une boucle ... à Saint-Denis! Elle roucoule, coule, coule Sa complainte dans la nuit... Elle roule, roule, roule Vers la mer où tout finit... Elle chante, chante, chante, chante, Chant' l'amour de Paris! Car la Seine est une amante Et Paris dort dans son lit! |
|
Subject: River Songs: La Seine From: Genie Date: 02 Sep 06 - 08:37 AM Here's a French song I've known for decades. I guess the title is "La Seine," but I'm not sure. Elle recou-le, -cou-le, -cou-le Quand il entre dans Paris. Elle s'en rou-le, rou-le, rou-le Autour de ses quais fleuris. Elle se chan-te, chan-te, chan-te, Chante le jour et la nuit, Car La Seine est une amante Et son amour, c'est Paris! I think it's from the 1940s or 1950s, sung by one of those pop chanteuses (not Piaf, IIRC, but I could be wrong). I'm not having any luck googling it. |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: Genie Date: 02 Sep 06 - 08:25 AM What's the name of that pop song about the Charles River that goes "Oh I love that dirty water. Boston, you're my home"? |

Subject: RE: River Songs From: Genie Date: 02 Sep 06 - 08:23 AM My list was from the DT, Barry. I left off at least half of what my "search" turned up, because the "river" connection was either minor or unclear, but I did include The Jam On Gerry's Rock. I like your 1st two suggestions. LOL Probably from the Boy Scout (unofficial) songbook, eh? Speaking of Amazon, GrassStains, there must be some songs about that one too. Which reminds me, has anyone mentioned: "Song of the Volga Boatmen?" |
