Subject: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: GUEST,Stephen R. Date: 09 Jan 05 - 11:48 PM Anyone have lyrics and/or tune for the shantey 'Julianna, Julianna, where do you go?' Stephen |
Subject: ADD: London Julies From: Joe Offer Date: 10 Jan 05 - 12:15 AM Hi, Stephen - that's a hard one to find because there can be so many variations of spelling. this thread (click) talks about the song, but doesn't include lyrics. I thought this would be a common song and would be very easy to find, but not so. I looked in thirteen different sea song books for background information, and didn't find this song. I think the Johnson Girls recorded it, but I couldn't find their CD just now. Can anybody give background and source information? A tune would be nice, too. Send MIDIs to me for posting. -Joe Offer- joe@mudcat.org I finally found the lyrics at the Pint & Dale Website (click) (Wm. Pint posted a link in the other thread): London Julies traditional Julianna, Julianna, Oh where do you go? Ah ha, me London Julies Julianna, Julianna, Oh where do you go? Ah ha, me London Julies Up aloft up aloft this yard must go Ah ha, me London Julies Up aloft up aloft this yard must go Ah ha, me London Julies And around Cape Horn There's ice & snow Ah ha, me London Julies But around Cape Horn we all must go Ah ha, me London Julies The mate is a bawling down below Ah ha, me London Julies so heave away, lash up and stow Ah ha, me London Julies I once heard Caroline Paton sing this song to her granddaughter, Juliana. That was a treat! I think I first heard it from Barry Finn. Barry's version is memorable. -Joe Offer- |
Subject: Lyr Add: LONDON JULIE (from Barry Finn) From: Peter Kasin Date: 10 Jan 05 - 01:19 AM Hi, Joe - I learned this version from Barry Finn, who also taught it, I believe, to the J-Girls. LONDON JULIE Well, we took a long loving walk CH: Aha, me London Julie! And we had a long, loving talk CH: Aha, me London Julie! Full CH: Julianna, Julianna, where do you go? Aha, me London Julie! Julianna, Julianna, where do you go? Aha, me London Julie! She took me to her favorite park CH And we stayed there 'til after dark CH & Full CH She said that she'd be true to me CH She spent me money fast and free CH & Full CH And then as I put out to sea CH A soldier took her far from me CH & Full CH (repeat full chorus if desired) StephenR, The Johnson girls CD's are really worth getting. This is on their first one. Try a PM to Joy Bennett, or to Liam's Brother, who's wife is in the group. Chanteyranger |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: Joe Offer Date: 10 Jan 05 - 11:38 AM "Julianna" is so widely known among both the SF and DC clubs, that I thought it must be a standard. I couldn't find it in any of the sea song books I checked - I think I have all the standard books. The other thread traces it to Shanty Jack and Stormalong John of the UK. Know of any other sources? What other recordings are there? -Joe Offer- |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: Barry Finn Date: 10 Jan 05 - 01:14 PM I believe the way Joe has it at the top here is from the Carpenter collection & according to Bonnie Millner it's also in the Robert W Gordon collection, I've never seen it in print myself. Bonnie of the Johnson Girls did a good bit of research for the notes on their CD. Joe's provided a link to an older thread which you might find interesting. The It was such a hell of a shanty I felt it needed more than just floating (filler) verses so those verses that chanteyranger has above I wrote. Good luck with it, Barry |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: Peter Kasin Date: 10 Jan 05 - 05:04 PM I had no Idea you penned those verses, Barry. You are too modest! They are brilliant, and weave through as seamlessly as anything traditional. Chanteyranger |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: SINSULL Date: 10 Jan 05 - 05:18 PM Please note: The pronunciation is Juli-ah-na. I was corrected by Sandy and Caroline's grand daughter. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: Dani Date: 10 Jan 05 - 10:10 PM I had forgotten about this song, but as soon as I saw the thread, I heard Barry singing it. Every once in a while I feel this wave of gratitude wash over me for the gifts of the Mudcat, and especially of the Getaway. I know what I'll be driving people around here crazy with this week! Dani |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: Charley Noble Date: 11 Jan 05 - 08:06 AM Barry- I'm thinking I've heard you sing the last verse: And then as I put out to sea? Some soldier took her on his knee? But maybe that was in a dream! Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: GUEST,MMario Date: 11 Jan 05 - 08:41 AM I remember hearing Barry sing this at Old Songs in the barn - just a few eeks after his liver transplant - I remembering wondering how that much volume could be produced without popping stitches somewhere! (it was my first encounter with Barry!) |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: Dani Date: 11 Jan 05 - 12:25 PM You did hear that, Charley. I just heard it on my Johnson Girls CD, and they credit Barry (among others) Dani |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: Charley Noble Date: 11 Jan 05 - 05:52 PM Dani- Thanks! I don't need any more song fragment mysteries cluttering up my poor brain. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: Barry Finn Date: 11 Jan 05 - 10:02 PM Hi Charley, "as soon as I put out to sea". Of course next month it could be "a tune that I put out with pee". See below, you never know. Thank Chanteyranger, "aw shucks" Hi Mary don't you go getting picky on me & don't trust those Conn. folk to speak or to sing proper. It's gotta be sung with the correct pronunciation, a Bostonian accent would be the right way, like this "Jewel-e-anna". There are no "h's" in the english language, for that matta there R no "R's" eitha. You been in Maine for such a shot time listening to those downeasta's and alReady you'Re cents of the spoken woRd. Bonnie asked me where the pump shanty 'Priests & Nuns' came from. I told her Jerry Bryant but that it was in Harlow's collection. She kept asking & I kept saying Harlow. She could't figure out if I was saying Hi-Lo or Hello, same thing happened when she asked about 'Roller Bowler'. I guess everyone else is trashing the language, go figure. Hope I'll see/hear you soon. LOL Barry |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianna Julianna where do you go? From: Peter Kasin Date: 11 Jan 05 - 10:15 PM Then, I wasn't "hearing voices" on "A soldier took her far from me"? Both endings are legit, I take it? If so, that's in keeping with the chanteymen of old, who rarely sang chanteys the same way twice. Chanteyranger |
