Subject: Lyr Req: Peggy Seeger's And We Hunted From: GUEST,Mrr at work Date: 12 May 06 - 11:04 AM Hi, I found the song that she was probably doing a version of in the Trad, it's called Three Jolly Welshman but I have memories of additional verses, with a Ship In Full Sail among other things... Thanks, -Mrr |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Peggy Seeger's And We Hunted From: Jim Dixon Date: 14 May 06 - 12:55 PM I found a song called AND WE HUNTED AND WE HUNTED, on the album "Animal Folk Songs for Children and Other People," Rounder CD 8023/24, 1992. The songs on the album were selected from Ruth Crawford Seeger's book "Animal Folk Songs for Children," originally published 1950, reissued 1993—and recorded by her children Mike, Peggy, Barbara & Penny Seeger, with several of her grandchildren. An earlier recording was made by Peggy Seeger on "Animal Folk Songs for Children," Smithsonian Folkways FW07551, 1957. This album is also based on the book. I listened to some sound samples, and it goes like this: And we hunted and we hunted and we hunted and we found A pig in the lane and it we left behind. Look 'ee there! Some said it was a pig but others said nay. Some said it was an elephant with its snout shot away. Look 'ee there! The only complete verse I heard that isn't like one in the DT is this one: And we hunted and we hunted and we hunted and we found The moon in the sky and it we left behind. Look 'ee there! Some said it was the moon but others said nay. Some said it was a cheese with a half cut away. Look 'ee there! There are two other versions in the DT called THREE JOLLY WELSHMEN (not to be confused with Welchmen!) and THE THREE HUNTERS. There are other versions, or other verses, in these threads: Lyr Add: Three Jovial Huntsmen Lyr Add: The Three Hunters Lyr Req: Three Wise Men of Gotham

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: And We Hunted and We Hunted (Ruth Seeger) From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Jun 07 - 07:08 AM Sorry Mary - the item you looked at was AMERICAN Folk Songs For Children. I have the hardback version of ANIMAL Folk Songs For Children, first edition. I haven't been able to find anything about this one, all the google hits go to the paperback version issued in the 60s. |
