11 Mar 01 - 06:59 AM (#415095) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Give Me Back My Fifteen Cents From: GUEST Surely not unrelated to Uncle Dave Macon's 'Give Me Back My Five Dollars' which was an Uncle Dave original that he thought enough of to have copyrighted in his own name in 1935. I will add it to the 'ADD: Uncle Dave Macon Lyrics' thread in due course. I don't know the provenance of 'Give Me Back My Fifteen Cents'. The Doc and Merle album simply credits it to 'trad'. The Mud Acres LP gives no attribution at all. Fifteen cents is a lot less than Uncle Dave paid for the licence so it might be much older, but who knows? Worth investigation. --Stewie. |

11 Mar 01 - 06:29 PM (#415500) Subject: Lyr Add: GIMME BACK MY FIFTEEN CENTS (Binkley Bros From: Stewie Hi Gern, My cookie also mysteriously disappeared when I posted the above message. I reset it and it came back. Have you tried to reset yours? You are quite right. I had completely forgotten that recording even though I have it both on vinyl and CD. However, my vinyl song title database crashed long ago and I'm way behind in my cataloguing for CDs. It differs from the Watson version in the DT - has 4 line stanzas, interspersed with instrumental passages, and is much shorter. Try as I might, I cannot hear a 'don't' in the mother-in-law line! It definitely sounds to me that he wants to see his mother-in-law. What do you reckon? Strange. In his notes to the CD, Charles Wolfe says it was very popular in the late 20s and performed on the Opry by numerous groups such as the Binkley Brothers' Dixie Clodhoppers, the McGee Brothers, the Pickard Family and Uncle Dave Macon. I don't know whether that means Uncle Dave sang that version as well as his 'Give Me Back My Five Dollars' but, as far as I can tell, he never recorded it under the 'fifteen cents' title. If the Binkley Brothers version is the earliest, it would be interesting to know when, and by whom, the later changes and additions were made. My transcription of the Binkley Brothers version follows:
GIMME BACK MY FIFTEEN CENTS
Give me back my fifteen cents Source: transcription of reissue of Binkley Brothers' Dixie Clodhoppers 'Give Me Back My Fifteen Cents' on Various artists 'Nashville: The Early String Bands Vol 1' County CO-CD-3521. Recorded Nashville, TN, 2 October 1928. --Stewie.

They made 6 recordings total. They played for fun and were watch makers and jewelers by trade. They played on the Opry for years and most of the time they were the closing act. If you have any questions, I will be glad to tell you what I remember. I have three other sisters and we are all well and have good memories of our father and uncle and the band. Just post your questions here and we will try our best to answer them. Thanks for the interest in our family. |
