26 Apr 98 - 02:28 AM (#26525) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julie Ann or Julianne From: JB The New Christy Minstrels sang Julianne on one of their albums. I have seen a song-book for the album, but it's been years ago. The tune is similar to the one I've heard sung to Poor Wayfaring Stranger. Here are the words I remember to the chorus and last verse. (There's another verse that introduces a false lover and how he promised to make her rings of siver, but instead goes off a'courtin' another.) Have you seen her in the moonlight Silver rings upon her hand Now she wears a crown of sorrow And her name is Julianne The cabin door was standin' open On that wild and lonely night And the hound-dog he lay a dyin' In the gloomy fire-light They found her shattered empty rifle And the gown she used to wear But they never found poor Julie And they never found (they never found!) that hungry bear I loved the album that it was on, as a kid. My brother has searched the web for a copy, but it's out of print. I would be interested if anyone has info on where to find it. It occurs to me that you could do a parody of the above about potatoes named "julienne"

Who killed who? Or are we to guess? To you who showed names of tune and word writers, I expect these were the arrangers. I believe this one goes a way back. Can anyone date it? - Philip Hudson in Texas |

27 Oct 00 - 11:27 PM (#328982) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julie Ann or Julianne From: GUEST,Jennifer Busick I, too, would like to find the lyrics to Julie Ann. Here's what I know of it, from what my father used to sing to me. I know there's got to be at least one more verse.
'Twas this side of sunny mountain is the place it all began [Something's missing, here, I think]
Can't you see her in the moonlight, silver rings upon her hand?
Julie's beau was tall and handsome just a poor boy, with treasures few
Off he rode to sunny mountain ere the fields were wet with dew [Chorus]
The cabin door was standing open on that dark and windy night
They found an empty, shattered rifle and the shawl she used to wear [Chorus] If anyone could fill in the gaps (the ones I know about or the ones I don't) I'd appreciate it! Jennifer Busick^^ |

18 Dec 01 - 07:24 PM (#612679) Subject: ADD: Julie Ann^^ From: Joe Offer OK, this is what I gleaned from the threads and the recording, and what I'll submit to the Digital Tradition. Most of the transcription is from Alice, with some from Jennifer Busick. -Joe Offer- JULIE ANNE (Randy Sparks?) The shady side of sunny mountain That's the place it all began. There once lived the fairest maiden, And her name was Julie Anne. Julie's beau was tall and handsome Just a poor boy with treasures few, Still he promised rings of silver, For to prove his love was true. CHORUS Have you seen her in the moonlight, Silver rings upon her hands Now she wears a crown of sorrow, And her name was Julie Anne. Wake me early in the morning Ere the birds begin to sing I'll get silver from the mountain, And I'll fashion ye a ring. Off he rode across the mountain, When the fields were wet with dew But instead he went a ramblin' And a courtin' Jenny Lou. CHORUS The cabin door was standin' open On that wild and windy night And the hound dog he lay a dyin' In the gloomy candle light. They found a shattered empty rifle And the shawl she used to wear, But they never found Miss Julie They never found the hungry bear. CHORUS Alternate verses: He said, I am just a poor boy Gold and money have I none But I'll take silver from the mountains And I'll fashion you a ring Off he rode into the shadows When the fields were wet with dew But instead he went a-roving And he courted Jennie Lou. Have you seen her in the moonlight? Silver rings upon her hand Now she wears a crown of sorrow And her name, and her name is Julie Ann Cabin door was standing open On that dark and windy night And her hound dog lay a-dying In the lonesome firelight. Alternate titles: Julianne and Julie Ann One version was attributed to Randy Sparks of the New Christy Minstrels, but it is not known whether the song was originated by Sparks. tune: similar to Wayfaring Stranger^^ |

03 Sep 10 - 11:08 PM (#2979666) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julie Ann or Julianne From: GUEST,Guest As for Julianne...The answer to the questions is in the chorus line. She did him in to put it mildly. When I was a folksinger in Texas in the middle 60's this was a favorite song that we performed at colleges and high schools and the people always wanted to know the story of how and when and why..This is the best answer I can give..Hope it settles some wonderment. |

Many thanks to oly669 for providing the chords, I really apprecaiate it and so will my guitar as soon as I put the song together.

I never thought I'd find ALL the words again. Thanks to all of you, I think I now have them all. For the one that asked about the bear? I think he broke into the cabin and she tried to shoot him, but he ate her. And the dog tried to stop him too, but them hungry bears are pretty strong. I don't think Julie Ann killed the boyfriend. He was just a...well, not very honorable! I would LOVE to talk to the person that penned this so long ago! |

16 Jun 17 - 04:10 PM (#3861281) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianne (New Christy Minstrels) From: GUEST,Tom I agree with Brenda (3-9-15)...while her beau, who lied to her, was gallivanting around doing what he shouldn't have been doing, Julie-anne was left alone. In spite of having a rifle and a dog for protection, the bear got her and the dog, leaving only her shawl and the empty rifle behind. |

31 Aug 17 - 01:10 PM (#3874518) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Julianne (New Christy Minstrels) From: GUEST,Elder Dan I grew up (in the 70s) with lots of New Christy Minstrels, my father was a huge fan and would play a lot of their songs on guitar himself, and I recently stumbled back across this one - having long forgotten it, but boy the memory ran deep when I heard it again. Now my 7yo has started grooving on it, she seems to really dig its spookiness. Hearing it again after all these years, the one new thing I feel like I've realized is, it's a ghost story. The chorus talks about her in the present tense - wearing a crown of sorrow in the moonlight, wearing the silver rings she was promised in life but never received. |
