Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of June ie: (A) Any songs with June in the title (B) Any songs with a June date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in June even if the lyrics do not actually say so.
It would be very helpful to have links to performances of the songs and also more sources of information about them.
As the thread develops I shall possibly re-organise some posts and add an index to make the songs easy to find.
Directly below is an alphabetical index of the titles collected in this thread. If a title in this index is blue then by clicking it you should be jumped to the section of the thread in which most of the discussion and links for that title occur. If you just want to add a new post to this thread use the “Post to this thread” button, above, to jump to the end of the thread. I shall sometimes rearrange “late” posts to group them with their appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked.When I add to someone’s post I make this clear by doing so beneath an orange line like the one below. Regards, GeoffLawes

Subject: RE: Any June Songs?
From: Felipa

It isn't uncommon for variants of a song to come in both May and JUne variants. This is the case with The Banks of the Roses.
Version 5 in the Digital tradition starts

Oh, if ever I get married, it will be in June,
When the fields and the flowers are out in full bloom,
For 'twas there I spied my true love by the light of the moon,
All on the banks of the roses.
For 'twas there I spied my true love by the light of the moon,
All on the banks of the roses.

There are lots of songs with 'midsummer' in the lyrics, especially 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.

Including one by Joni Mitchell from 1967. It's not on her 'Archives Vol 1' box set, which I have, and covers 1963-1967.

The Jug of Punch. Some versions mention 23rd of June and the date is to do with the introduction of legislation to force the use of exact measures of alcohol. After that date you couldn't sell ale in any old jug.

THE BEACHES OF ST VALERY
Davy Steele

'Til the 51st Highlanders found themselves back
On the banks of the Somme one more time.
It still bore the scars of that war to end wars.
The old soldier's scars deep in their minds.
But we couldn't stay long for the Panzers rolled on
As the battle raged west t'wards the sea,
Until on June the 10th when sapped of all strength
I entered St. Valery.

EIGHTEENTH DAY OF JUNE (THE)

On the eighteenth day of June, my boys, eighteen hundred and fifteen,
Both horse and foot they did advance; most glorious to be seen,
Both horse and foot they did advance and the bugle-horn did blow
Where the sons of France we made to dance on the plains of Waterloo.

It's easier to identify the songs you list by adding their Roud numbers.

What you've called Rose in June (1) and (3) are both the same song, Roud 1202. They differ a bit in the verses but have basically the same structure and chorus.

Rose in June (2) is Roud 25337.

This song was submitted in a discussion thread about Juneteenth, and no title is given

As I walked out one morning, it was on the [8?]Teenth of June;
The birds were singing in the trees, and all the flowers in bloom.
On a primrose bank I lay me down beside a crystal stream.
So deep, so deep I fell asleep and I began to dream.

I dreamed I saw a clipper ship a-floating on the tide,
With four and twenty sailor lads all for to be her guide.
On the deck was one young lad, and he much alarmed me:
'Rise up, rise up your weary hearts, for the royal sons are free.'

And when we heard of liberty, we let ourselves be known;
And were you at the meeting, boys, they held at Innisoon?
Long time, long time we've been in chains, but now at last we're free.
And if ever we're enchained again, we'll fight for liberty.'

Here's a health to the three O'Donnells; they're a credit to the name.
They're a credit to their country, boys, in honour, birth and fame.
There were two of them made clergymen all in the church of Rome;
And God himself took one of them unto his heavenly home.

Here's a health to Father William who fought at Waterloo.
He fought with the French and Spaniards the English to subdue.
He fought them with his army till he could no longer stand.
He was once the Lord Lieutenant's man, but he's now our brave clergyman.

In Latvia at mid-summer, they sing lots of songs, including songs of medieval origin.
Raganu Nakts sung by Tautumeitas

MIDSUMMER NIGHT
translation by C J Mitchell

Its true, Its true, there lay no lies (sway*, sway)
In the old native language (sway, sway)
During summer solstice night the girls become
Witches and werewolves

Summer solstice, Summer solstice is tonight
Who does summer solstice belong to?
Witches and werewolves
summer solstice belongs to them

The witch ran through the air ...
Not in my backyard
My yard is forged with iron
Needles on my roof

Needles on my roof
Caught up in the rafters
Needles stabbed
Rafters cut

The river flowed like buttermilk
In my cows' pasture
There the hunter broke its neck
and stood nine witches,
Drowning was the woodlands fae**
Without the sun in the evening.

*The midsummer festival in Latvia is referred to as Ligo, but the word also roughly translates to mean a swaying or rocking dance motion (Reddit)

**The Lauma in Latvian folklore is a woodland fae or goddess who appears as a beautiful woman. She's generally regarded as a temperamental entity who may prey upon men or kidnap children, but are also can summon rain and perform high quality domestic work. They are strongly associated with blessings or curses on children, and with cow's milk. They are afraid of iron. (Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Brittanica)

I forgot to include a link to a more folky video of Latvia midsummer festivities. Ligo is celebrated on the 23rd of June so there is also a Christian overlay (St John's eve). Near where I live in Ireland, some people still light bonfires on hilltops on St John's eve but the custom is not so strong as it used to be.

Apparently Latvia is the place to be at summer solstice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXJpIBocNys The dancing towards the end of the video is very like Scandinavian dancing, and of course the Scandinavians also do mid-sommer festivals. I don't know what they are doing in pandemic times though.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18614119
"Latvia's most important national holiday is arguably not Christmas but the summer solstice celebrations of Ligo (pronounced "leegwa") - a pagan tradition when Latvians celebrate the shortest night by staying up to greet the rising sun."

A West Riding version of “The Jug of Punch” starts:

“‘Twas on the Twenty Third of June, as I was a weaving all at me loom,
I saw a bird on an ivy bunch and the song she sang was “The Jug of Punch”
Gladly fol the day
Gladly fol the skiddly-iddly didle-dum, skiddly-iddly didle-dum,
Skiddly-iddly idle-didle dum dum day”

The Bates Brothers of Sheffield sang it in local folk clubs in the mid 60s. They were raucous, irreverent, funny and sometimes moving.

Thank you Ric Jerrom,I looked on the Yorkshire Garland site    https://www.yorkshirefolksong.net/song.cfm for this song and not finding it I asked Steve Gardham,of the Yorkshire Garland about it . Steve says I think the Irish would be a bit annoyed if we included this as a Yorkshire song. All of the oral versions come from Ireland although it is originally English c1845 featured in J B Buckstone's operetta Green Bushes. This version obviously comes from Irish oral tradition, probably the McPeakes version. I think it would be a stretch too far to claim it for Yorkshire.
But thanks for your suggestion Ric . The Jug of Punch , of the Irish kind, is in the Index at the top of this thread . If anyone knows of recordings of the song as sung by The Bates Brothers of Sheffield it would be good to add it to the list of recordings

CHRISTINE KEELER
Does anyone know anything about this song? My friend Bill Sowerby in Hull suggested the song to me for this thread. In his email he said he would love to know more about the song and tells the story of how he first encountered it.

Bill Sowerby and some friends were on holiday in Ireland in August 1974, visiting the Fleadh in Listowel, County Kerry and were in a session in Lynch's Bar with lots of other singers and musicians. The MC repeatedly asked a young man if he would "give us Christine" to which he always replied "maybe later". Eventually he was persuaded to sing the song and, anticipating a good Irish song, Bill switched on his cassette recorder and this is what was sung. We don't know who he was or who wrote the song and we have never heard it sung since except by Bill. The words here have changed a little over the years as happens but it is mostly as we heard it in 1974. The tune is a variant of Brighton Camp / The Girl I Left Behind Me.

Christine Keeler

The truth I’ll tell it happened in the merry month of June
When the Russians tried to put a woman on the moon
But over here in England a terrible storm did blow
Concerning Christine Keeler and a bloke called Profumo

Now it’s well known that Christine was generous to the boys
To ministers and diplomats and also Russian spies
She was generous to all colours be it black or white or red
Sure half the British government had slept in Christine’s bed

Profumo had a lovely job his salary was high
He also had a lovely wife but he had a roving eye
One day in high midsummer his room was far from cool
He first met Christine Keeler in the Clivedon swimming pool

He tickled her in the swimming pool, he cuddled her in the park
Then went for drives round pubs and clubs,
he caressed her in the dark
One day he was late for keeping a date Christine to him she said
I’m sorry Jack you should have stayed with the crack cos there’s a Russian in my bed

Now Dr Ward tried very hard to keep the whole thing quiet
But “Lucky Gordon” came to call and the story came to light
It reached the House of Commons, McMillan he was vexed
I can’t allow corruption or an overdose of sex

Profumo now is in disgrace he’s finished for all time
McMillan and his Cabinet they forced him to resign
He lost his MP’s salary and calls before the Queen
And that’s the price he had to pay for his sessions with Christine

If anyone can give us more information or even an online recording of this it will be much appreciated.

WARLIKE SEAMEN
Peter Bellamy sings Warlike Seamen

Come all you warlike seamen that to the seas belong;
I'll tell you of a fight, my boys, on board the Nottingham.
It was of an Irish captain, his name was Somerville,
With courage bold he did control, he played his part so well.

'Twas on the eighth of June, my boys, when at Spithead we lay,
On board there came an order, our anchor for to weigh.
Bound for the coast of Ireland, our orders did run so:
For us to cruise and not confuse and face a daring foe.

Windrush Day - 22nd June

THE WINDRUSH
by Tom Patterson

We sat out on that evening, our thoughts drawn to the dawn
The Windrush would be leaving, bound for England, come the dawn
Through a haze of smoke and rum, he trawled his memory
Told some long forgotten tales, smiled then said to me
"You'll be alright there, you'll be alright there
You know there's jobs to fill they need your skill
You'll be alright there"

And so we left Jamaica, bade farewell to our roots
We came ashore at Tilbury in our hats and Sunday suits
Driven by a vision of pavements lined with gold
Freedom, wealth and plenty, the dream that we'd been sold
"You'll be alright there etc

As winter came a-creeping, I found myself alone
I missed the Caribbean sun, my family, friends back home
We had to beg from room to room, "No coloureds wanted here"
The mighty empire I'd admired had given birth to fear
"You'll be alright there etc

Can anyone imagine just how I felt inside?
The anger and frustration that I forced myself to hide
I worked for just a pittance compared to other folks
Forced to sit and listen to endless racist jokes
"You'll be alright there etc

The days have turned to decades since I came across the sea
I'm told my city soon will have a Black majority
Multi-racial to it's core but a slave of history
Privilege and poverty remain for all to see.
"You'll be alright there etc

I couldn't make the link work but the song can be found on Youtube at Tom Patterson Folksinger.

Thanks Geoff,

life is very cyclical but the seasons are now broken. We interfered too much for short term gains.

At least you are making a record of what is soon to be lost.

Just remembered a song of my own about an incident involving HMS Glamorgan in the Falklands War on 12th June,1982.

MY SON TERENCE

It was early springtime, with the trees scarce green,
When my son Terence sailed to serve the Queen
With his hair cut neat and his suit of blue
I cannot tell you son how proud I felt of you

I little thought, as he left Portsmouth dock,
For routine training off Gibraltar’s Rock,
That foreign generals, half a world away,
Were making plans for which my son would pay.

Their invasion came and the task force went,
To the South Atlantic Terry’s ship was sent,
And with his every mile, every day and night,
We hoped they’d settle it before he had to fight.

From the 1st of May, for six weeks or more
We watched and waited as they fought the war
We saw the sinkings and the maimed and dead,
By way of satellite our fears for him were fed.

If only peace had come two days before
We would have welcomed Terry home once more
But a missile strike on the 12th of June
Cut off threequarters of his life too soon.

He was lost in action, his body never found
They couldn’t say if he were burned or drowned
Now my thoughts keep searching through those cold dark seas
To put his body and my mind at ease.

It was early springtime, with the trees scarce green
When my son Terence sailed to serve the Queen
With his hair cut neat and his suit of blue
I cannot tell you son how proud I felt of you.

Tune used was based on traditional Anglo -Australian song “The Lost Sailor”

Subject: One Morning in June Macaronic song
From: Felipa

note re the 5 June post re ONE MORNING IN JUNE; there are two versions of the song listed here. The song sung by Lasairfhiona Ní Chonnfhaola and Eithne Ní Chathain has Irish and English language phrases intertwined in a continuous narrative
One morning in June agus mé ag dul ag spaisteoireacht?
Casadh liom cailín ba ró-dheas a gnaoi,?
She was so handsome gur thit mé i ngrá léithe? ...

(one morning in June and I out walking about, I met the most beautiful girl, She was so handsome that I fell in love with her ..)
see also Cartlanna Sheosaimh uí Éanaí/Joe Heaney, Joe Éinniú

Paddy Tunney sings a monolingual version of the song, completely in English, and he uses a different melody.

The linked mudcat post does give both versions of this song. I think in this case the bilingual version is actually the original, as is suggested by Fred McCormack in his post.

Mike Waterson's last song

An August Bank Holiday Lark draws on those traditions. Remarkably rehearsals have been divided equally between work on the text and Conrad Nelson's work on the music and dancing.

Barry Rutter writes, "My friend, the late great Mike Waterson, was one of the doyens of English folk. I met him when he was dying and I said, ‘Do you want to write me a song for 2014?'. He said, ‘I won't see 2014 – I'm dying.'

I said, ‘I know you are, but I'd like you to write a Rushcart Song.' So he wrote it and recorded it with Eliza Carthy, Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy in their studio in Robin Hood's Bay. Conrad's taken that song and incorporated it into the play.

henryp, what you wrote on Mike Waterson's Rushcart Song looks like a quote. Where is it from? As it stands it's completely out of context; what are 'those traditions' An August Bank Holiday Lark draws on? (And it took me some googling to understand that Lark is a play.)

I couldn't find a complete script on line, but copied the verses that I could find. (The script is for sale on the Northern Broadsides website.)

But I have found a video with Mike Waterson singing his song! The words are slightly different but a little indistinct.

The Northern Broadsides theatre company is well known for performing Shakespeare in northern English accents - which may well be closer to the English Shakespeare spoke than the Received Pronunciation of today.

THE RUSHCART SONG by Mike Waterson

Cut the rushes, pile them high
Stack them ‘til they reach the sky
Silver gardening the eye???
Oh we are all rushcarters

All dressed out in flowers so gay
On this bright sunshiny day
Come we will, if come we may
Oh we are all rushcarters

We are not rich, we are not poor
We do not beg from door to door
You have seen us all before
We are all rushcarters

Through the village, up and down
Dancing round and round the town
Suits??? go twirling round and round
We are all rushcarters

Dance we did in days of yore
Like our fathers did before
We will dance for evermore
We are all rushcarters

Recorded by Mike Waterson with Eliza Carthy, Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy in their studio in Robin Hood's Bay.

Two lines uncertain - suggestions welcome.

1815: On this day, the Battle of Waterloo was fought, where combined forces led by the Duke of Wellington and the Prussian Field Marshal Blucher defeated Napoleon.

O.J. Abbott sang Plains of Waterloo in a field recording made by Edith Fowke in Ontario in August 1957. It was printed in her Penguin Book of Canadian Folk Songs and was included in 1975 on the accompanying Leader album Far Canadian Fields. Mainly Norfolk.

Many versions already identified in this thread.

There is a version of BALLINDERRY (Bonny Ram's Island) with the verse

O. lonely I wander on bonny Church Island
Far, far away from Phelimy Diamond
The birds may whistle a merry tune,
But sorrowful May brought woeful June.

I add it to a different version, so I sing Bonny Ram's Island rather than Church Island.

First stanza of THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE, written by Hank Card, goes

The Gulf breeze was blowing those sweet petrochemical fumes.
I was hauling a truckload of cattle through Texas in June.
The cattle were thirsty and calling for brew.
Abnormally sober, I wanted one, too.
I left I-10 at Beaumont to look for an open saloon.

Well, Charlie Darwin looked so far
Into the way things are

From paramecium
Right up to man."

Dana Lyons wrote and recorded JUNE IS A COMING, available at https://youtu.be/1ez1DOKchD0

Lots of months get mentioned in this song, set in Seattle. The first stanza goes,

The Fall is the sunniest time of the year
And the mountains are clear every day,
But November it brings home the clouds
And the rain once again,
December is many warm nights by the fire
Reading stories and sipping some beer,
With the days growing longer,
The end of the winter seems near.

The 2nd stanza mentions March. We finally get to June in the 3rd stanza:

June is a coming, the salmon are running
And I've got to be on my way,
I don't want to leave you my darling
But there's so many more debts to pay,
They say that the catch will be bigger this year
And we'll all come home rich in the end,
I don't want to leave you my darling,
But the nets will be loaded by dawn,
June is a coming and I must be rolling along.

ROSE IN JUNE. or Love in June.
(Via Bob Copper & Alfred Williams)
I’ll harness my horses & follow the plough
While darling Miss Catherine is milking her cow.

Chorus
So let it come early late or soon
I will enjoy my love in June.

Oh love I will carry thy sweet milking pail
Oh love I will kiss you at every stile.

Oh the roses are red & the violets are blue
Carnations are sweet love & so are you.

‘Twas Down in the valley, the valley so sweet
I will pick some plain roses to keep my love sweet.

Oh I’ll go and cut down that old myrtle tree
And build up a bower for my Catherine and me.

All on a rosy morn of June,
When farmers make their hay,
Down by yon bonny woodland green
A milking maid did stray;

And oh, but she was sweet and fair,
The flower of all the vale;
In her hand a wild white rose she bare,
And on her head a pail.

MACK’REL UP THE WALL
Now it’s fishing fever times
People run with rod and line
It’s out of May and into June
There’s mack’rel up the wall

A curious song about the annual mackerel run that used to occur in Plymouth, UK. It is part of local oral history that each summer large mackerel shoals arrived in the nearby coves. Someone would shout, “Mackerel up the wall”. Once the alarm was raised, all the townspeople would rush out of their houses and down to the water’s edge where whole families would fish for their supper. The supply was so plentiful, you were able to fish with just ‘sticks, string and old bent pins’

Lyrics on Singing Histories: Plymouth from EFDSS    https://media.efdss.org/resourcebank/docs/EFDSS_Education_RecentProjects_SingingHistoriesPlymouth.pdf

I tried to find a recording of the song on-line but had no luck. ??

IRISH BALLAD   (Joyce Elaine Eilers)

Irish Ballad
A rage of Scarlet Fever started down in the South
And Kansas wasn't far away
And Patrick O'Leary was buried in June
Near the rose that he planted in May.
But his dreams were remembered in the heart of his love,
His Molly so far, far away.

Harry Stone - HEARTS OF COAL

Forty years of coal-dust
Is a lot of pain to carry
It made a cripple out of Harry
But his family came and took up his tools

And they faced the Orgreave cavalry
While the world looked on and wondered
Their right to work was plundered
By the statesman-ship of fools

SONGS BY JOHN WESLEY
17 June On this date in 1703, the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, was born, the 15th of 19 children of a clergyman. John and Charles Wesley have almost 500 hymns attributed to them. However, the brothers agreed not to indicate individual authorship. While the majority of the hymns may have been written by Charles, John was responsible for the translations from the German.

In 1740 they published a volume of Hymns and Sacred Poems that included one by Charles titled “For the Anniversary Day of One’s Conversion”, an eighteen-stanza hymn. In 1753 John Wesley published an abridged form of this hymn that started with stanza 7. This shortened version quickly became a favourite among Methodists, leading to its placement as the first hymn in the 1780 Collection of Hymns for the People Called Methodists. Proceedings of the Charles Wesley Society 17 (2013)

O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O9kw3cILpg&t=9s Tune; Lyngham extended, a fuguing tune by Thomas Jarman (b. Clipston, Northamptonshire, England, 1776; d. Clipston, 1862), published in his Sacred Music (around 1803). Jarman was a tailor by vocation, but he much preferred his musical avocation. He composed many hymn tunes, which were published in seventeen collections, including The Northamptonshire Harmony (1826), as well as in The Wesleyan Methodist periodical. O for a thousand tongues

DOBBIN’S FLOWERY VALE

As I roved out one evening fair in the pleasant month of June,
The trees they were all in fragrant shade, the flowers all in their bloom;
Down by yon grove as I did roam, no curse did me assail,
When a pair I espied by a riverside in Dobbin's flowery vale.

13 June 1944: On this day the first V1 flying bomb, or “doodlebug”, landed in England. Hitler’s “secret weapon” hit a house in Southampton, killing three people.

A V1 MERRY CHRISTMAS by Troubleat'Mill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StkJVJCp70o A V1 Merry Christmas

Some of us wanted bicycles, some of wanted toys
Most of us wanted Daddy to come home
All of us wanted peace on earth
A Yuletide full of joy
But all we got was a doodlebug for Christmas
Yes all we got was a doodlebug for Christmas

---

V-1 flying bomb from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb
A “ditty” about the Doodlebugs,, sung to the tune of a song from 'Annie Get Your Gun'.
"First you hear their engines. Then you hear it stop.
Then you run for Cover, and wait for it to pop."
