08 Feb 01 - 03:15 AM (#392935) Subject: Lyr Add: YES, MY DARLING DAUGHTER (Jack Lawrence) From: Joe Offer Oy, this one was tough. I have SIX Dinah Shore CD's, and can't find a single cut of her singing "Yes, My Darling Daughter," which is a 1940 Jack Lawrence adaptation of a Yiddish song called "Yuh Mein Tiere Tochter." I did find a Glenn Miller recording, however. This is NOT the one that's in our database (click), and probably not the one that's on Bruce's site. I haven't been able to find the Yiddish lyrics - can anybody help? I understand the Barry Sisters recorded the Yiddish version, and other recordings of the English version were by the Andrews Sisters, Helen Forrest, Gene Krupa, and Benny Goodman. -Joe Offer- YES, MY DARLING DAUGHTER (Jack Lawrence) I've gotta be good or momma will scold me (Yes, yes, yes!) I asked her and this is what she told me: (Yes, yes, yes!) Mother, may I go out dancing? Yes, my darling daughter! Mother, may I try romancing? Yes, my darling daughter! What if there's a moon, Momma darling, and it's shining on the water? Mother, must I keep on dancing? Yes, my darling daughter! What if he'll propose, Momma darling, when the night is growing shorter? Mother, what should be my answer? "Yes," my darling daughter! As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on November 15th 1940 with Marion Hutton. Words and music by Jack Lawrence. (From the revue "Crazy With The Heat") JRO There's a great MP3 of the Yiddish version here (click), but I'm not good enough at Yiddish to transcribe it. A better transliteration of the title might be "Yo, Mayn Tayere Tokhter." Gee, it sure was fun tracking this down. |

The lyrics on Bruce's site appear to be identical - Bruce, where did you get yours? I'm wondering about that 1908 date in the database. Maybe I'm showing my California regionalism, but I'm guessing that the Newport and Manhattan Beach referred to are locations in the Los Angeles area, and I don't think those communities were settled (or named) by 1908. For the sake of comparison, I'm going to break with usual procedure and post the lyrics from our database here, and then I have a couple of versions from Randolph to add.

She hung her clothes on a hickory limb, I am too young and I ain't fit Sung as above by a lady in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, January 7, 1952. She heard it about 1900, in Garland County, Arkansas. Only the first stanza is reported in polite sources, as by F. W. Baugh, Marius Barbeau, and the Wintembergs, in their important collection, "Canadian Folklore from Ontario," in Journal of American Folklore (1918) vol. XXXI: pp. 1-179, at pp. 55, and 115-16. See a similar opening stanza in Randolph's Ozark Folksongs (1950) vol. IV: p. 400, No. 873; ed. Cohen (1982) pp. 388-89, as "The Alphabet Song," to which it forms the introduction; the singer, Mrs. May Kennedy McCord writing (1939): "My father learned. . . this song, more than ninety years ago. There were many verses, some not at all suitable for children to sing." The spelled-out alphabet served as the chorus.

I'll post the tunes at Mudcat MIDIs (If you're fussy like I am, you will notice what appear to be mistakes in the meter of the first verse of the tune, but that's the way Ranfolph has it in Roll Me). So, the question remains - are these all the same song? The tunes for the two Randolph versions are almost the same, and quite different from the 1940 song and the Yiddish song. -Joe Offer- MOTHER, MAY I GO OUT TO SWIM? "Mother, may I go out to swim?"

When I was in Poland in 1980 (under Communist rule) they sang the "Polish National Anthem" (Communist version) for us. They proudly announced that this tune had been written by a 12 year old comrad for the stiring words they were singing. I started to argue with them because the tune was very familiar to me. It was not until I got back and poked around that I realized it was the tune to "Father, May I go out dancing/Yes, My darling daughter..." |

12 Mar 04 - 12:20 AM (#1134443) Subject: RE: Origins: Yes My Darling Daughter From: Malcolm Douglas Yes, but apparently more common in America. Opie, Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes (1951), no. 360: "Mother, may I go and bathe? Yes, my darling daughter. Hang your clothes on yonder tree, But don't go near the water. " 'Holiday tasks', remarks Letitia's uncle in Walter de la Mare's The Scarecrow (1945), '...always remind me, my dear, of the young lady who wanted to go out to swim: "Mother, may I go out to swim? Yes, my darling daughter. Hang your clothes up neat and trim, And don't go near the water.' " 'The rhyme I know', said Letitia, is, 'Hang your clothes on a hickory limb.' 'That's all very well', said her uncle, 'but just you show me one!' "The rhyme, though not often found in print, seems to be familiar in many households (in America more than in England), and may have been the inspiration of the recent dance song 'Mother may I go out dancing?'

12 Mar 04 - 01:32 PM (#1134912) Subject: Lyr Add: SPINN, SPINN, MEINE LIEBE TOCHTER From: Q (Frank Staplin) I recently found an excellent book of old German songs on the net. "Alte deutsche Lieder," Arnim and Brentano, vol. 3, printed in 1808. In it is the traditional song "Spinnerlied," or "Spinn, spinn, meine liebe Tochter." Speculation, but the origin of "Yes..." could well lie in old songs like this, 'modernized' circa 1900 with cautions to daughters now ready to fly the coop, perhaps combined with a verse from the nursery rhyme. This type of song seems to have been widespread. Lyr. Add: SPINN, SPINN, MEINE LIEBE TOCHTER (Spinnerlied) Spinn, spinn, meine liebe Tochter, Ich kauf dir ein paar Schuh. Ja, ja, meine liebe Mutter, Auch Schnallen dazu; Kann wahrlich nicht spinnen, Von wegen meinem Finger, Meine Finger thun weh. Spinn, spinn, meine liebe Tochter, Ich kann dir ein paar Strümpf. Ja, ja meine liebe Mutter, Schön Zwicklen darin; Kann wahrlich nicht spinnen, Von wegen meinem Finger, Mein Finger thut weh. Spinn, spinn, meine liebe Tochter, Ich kauf dir einen Mann. Ja, ja meine liebe Mutter, Der steht mir wohl an; Kann wahrlich gut spinnen, Von all meinen Fingern, Thut keiner mir weh. Copied from http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/arnim/wundhorn/wh3.htm: Spinnerlied I have used the first line of the song for the title, since that is how it appears in several German websites. |

05 Mar 09 - 12:27 AM (#2581559) Subject: Origins: Yes My Darling Daughter / Minka From: Genie Thanks for that, Jack. I could've sworn that, after I learned to sing "Yes, My Darling Daughter," I heard the same tune done by an orchestra, as a sort of classical piece, and I wondered if the folk/pop song had been set to an earlier classical tune. Checking out YouTube for "Minka," I came across one entry that mentions that this Ukrainian tune has also been used in various classical compositions. That's not unusual. So it would seem that perhaps an old Ukranian tune (possibly written by Yikhav Kozak?) was 'borrowed' not only by pop/folk musicians but by classical composers as well? |
