On the 14th of August our regiment was lost

19 Apr 01 - 09:37 AM (#444315) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonny Woodhall From: Maryrrf Recently it was recorded by Niamh Parsons - beautifully! Instead of "deaden the 'pain" she sings "deaden the 'stoon'. I don't have a clue what a 'stoon' is. I think Andy Irvine sings it that way too. I may change that word to 'pain' when I sing it - it makes more sense. Anybody know what 'stoon' means? |

19 Apr 01 - 10:27 AM (#444354) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonny Woodhall From: Malcolm Douglas Presuming this to be a Scottish song, "stoon" or, for a better rhyme, the more common spelling "stound", is an ache or pain. |

19 Apr 01 - 02:59 PM (#444598) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonny Woodhall From: Mad Maudlin Hey, thanks for telling me, I always thought it was "pain" since I didn't know the word (English is not my native tongue). So I've learned something again - cool! |

19 Apr 01 - 04:46 PM (#444722) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonny Woodhall From: Maryrrf Thank you, Malcolm. Yes, it said in the liner notes that it is a Scottish song. I'm wondering what period it dates from. It's beautiful. I listened to it at Borders at the listening station for CD's and immediately bought it. |

20 Apr 01 - 07:51 AM (#445215) Subject: Lyr Add: BONNY WOODHALL (from Andy Irvine) From: Wolfgang Mad Maudlin, first thanks for posting that beautiful song and congratulations to your memory. What you have posted is very close to what Andy Irvine sings (I have his songbook 'Aiming for the heart' which makes it easy to listen to what he sings in the two virtually identical versions I have on record: one with Paul Brady, one with Mick Hanly). Down below I'll post Andy Irvine's version with the few changes from your version in bold. I'm far from saying 'this is the correct version', I just post it for comparison. Andy Irvine's note: 'This song is Scottish in origin and though I learned it from Sam Henry's collection [# 476] of songs from the North of Ireland, I have never heard it sung there.' A different, more Scottish version is found in 'Bothy songs and ballads' (Ord?; I have a xerox; should I post it here, Bruce?). This version is closer to how Dick Gaughan sings it on the double LP 'Bonny Pit Laddie'. Al O' Donnell sings it too on his second album, but it is not an independent version for he got it from Gaughan.
The much discussed line is: Wolfgang Andy Irvine's version follows:
BONNY WOODHALL

20 Apr 01 - 11:07 PM (#445875) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonny Woodhall From: GUEST,Bruce O. I'm beginning to suspect that the version in the Greig- Duncan collection wasn't a traditional version. There's no tune, date collected, place collected, or name of singer. Greig sometimes published old songs in the Buchan Observer articles that he hadn't collected, in order to stir his reader's memories to think about what they could remember. I suspect his copy was from a printed source he found some place. |

24 Mar 04 - 03:11 PM (#1145090) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonny Woodhall From: GUEST This song refers to the North Calder Water at Woodhall in Lanarkshire.

As a singer O'Donnell really was something special. I had forgotten that the sleeve of his first album had a lovely little poem by Archie Fisher: THE BALLAD SINGER (To Al O'Donnell) (Archie Fisher - 1968) I watched a piper take the wind that blew around his hair And with the supple leather lead the hard black wood and brittle reed A dance into the air I watched a boy that stood with men A whistle at his tongue Breathe the old and smokey air into his breast then with careful fingers Make it young I saw a chin rest on a fiddle And watched the fingers dance Letting the notes slip from the strings into the wind that takes all things That music leaves to chance I heard the singer read the wind And listened to his song That told of all the wind had known and when and where the wind had blown And why he'd been so long --Stewie. |

I learned it from Andy Irvine's recording with Paul Brady, and would sing it to myself when no-one was around. At a song circle one evening long ago, I gathered up my courage and sang Bonny Woodhall for the first time in front of other people. At the end of the song, everyone was hushed and appreciative... then my husband piped up, whining "You never take me to My Annie..." I nearly killed him. |

01 May 09 - 12:41 AM (#2622381) Subject: Lyr Add: BONNIE WOODHA' From: Jim Dixon I copied this version from Folk-song in Buchan: and Folk-song of the North-east by Gavin Greig (Hatboro, Pa.: Folklore Associates, 1963). However, I had to piece this together from several "snippets." I suspect something is missing, because there seems to be a strange shift in point of view in the last verse. BONNIE WOODHA' Down by yon green bushes near Calder's clear stream Where I and my Annie sae often hae been, When the hours they flew past us, right happy were we. It was little she thought that a soldier I'd be. Fare-ye-weel, Annie, for I maun away. My country calls on me, so I must obey; But if Heaven protects me until I return, I will sport wi' ye, Annie, by sweet Calder's Burn. Here's tae my auld father, his lips are now cauld. Likewise my auld mither, for she's getting auld. When I was a wee thing and played round her knee, It was little she thought that a soldier I'd be. On the twentieth of August, our regiment was lost, And a shot from the enemy our lines came across. It struck me on the forehead; the blood it rin down. I reeled and I staggered and fell to the ground. "Come here," cried the captain. "Come here with great speed. I'm afraid by yon bullet young Dinsmore is dead." They poured out the water and brandy so free, And they turned me all over my wounds for to see. If I had my Annie she'd bind up my wounds. One word from her sweet mouth would soothe all the stounds. Wi' God's will, I'll get better, and when I return, I will sport wi' my Annie near sweet Calder's Burn. Oft times when I'm wearied and think o' langsyne, When I was a collier and wrought in the mine, Oh, the tears they do trickle and doon they do fa', Like the dew on the gowans at bonnie Woodha'. Noo freens and relations, d'ye see what I've got For gaun wi' the laddie that wears the red coat? But I maun aff and dress noo, and mak' mysel' braw To wed handsome young Dinsmore o' bonnie Woodha'. |

10 Aug 09 - 02:31 PM (#2697089) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonny Woodhall/Bonny Wood Green From: GUEST,John Kirkpatrick One version called Bonnie Woodgreen (note the spelling) is set in a townland near the village of Kells (no, not the famous one!) which located near the town of Ballymena in County Antrim, N. Ireland. The reference to "Kells Barracks" would refer to the practice of signing-up for the army at the local police station, while "Larne Harbour" was one of the main routes from the Province to the mainland of England. There is no verse about Africa; other variations include: "There's a neat little spot called Ballymacveigh" (again, this is in the Kells area) "They're wearing white aprons in bonny Woodgreen" The soldiers' girlfriend would seem to have worked in John Ross's linen factory near to Woodgreen: this factory still exists, although it is now a dyeworks rather than a linen mill. It's always amazing to see how some traditional songs were adapted to suit the local area where they were being performed |

17 Dec 09 - 11:54 AM (#2790396) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonny Woodhall/Bonny Wood Green From: GUEST,patrickdebee And here is Sam Henry's 'Songs of the People' version. I have transcribed it exactly as it appears on page 84 in the 1990 edition. The differences between this version and Andy Irvine's version ('Aiming For The Heart', 1988 edition) are highlighted in bold typeface. Like so many of you who contributed to this thread, I learned this wonderful song from Andy's version and I am proud to have made the effort (over the years!) to play it note for note on my Gibson H1 mandola strung, in Andy's own way, with mandolin strings and tuned down to FCGC, in an attempt to get as close as possible to his own sound. I also sing Andy's version of the lyrics, although I have made the following 'adjustments': 1. At 2:4, I sing a hybrid of both versions: 'I will wed with you, Annie, near Calder's clear burn.' … thus keeping the rhythm of the word group 'wed with' from Andy's version, but returning to the 'you' of Sam Henry's collected version, which enables me to emphasise 'you', thereby seeming to address Annie directly, as if still in her presence. When I sing it this way, it greatly heightens the poignancy of his longing (IMHO). 2. At 6:4, I use Sam Henry's collected version, but with 'Woodhall' at the end (in order to rhyme with the word 'fall' from the previous line in Andy's version): Like the dew on the roses near bonny Woodhall. … thus preserving the original poetry of the dew as a metaphor for our hero's tears. In any case, here is Sam Henry's collected version, as it appears on page 84: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bonny Woodha' [H476: 14 Jan 1933] o: (m) "The Green Bushes"; g: "Sweet Calder Burn." Source not given. Key G. Down by yon green bushes, near Calder's clear stream, Where I and my Annie sae often have been, When the hours that flew past us, right happy were we, It was little she thought that a sailor I'd be. I said to my Annie, 'I now must away, My country calls on me and I must obey, But if heaven protect me until I return, I will wed you, my Annie, near Calder's clear burn.' On the fourteenth of August our regiment was lost, When a ball from the enemy my line came across, It struck me on the forehead, the blood trickled down, I reeled and I staggered and I fell to the ground. 'Come here,' said our captain, 'come here with good speed,' For I fear by this bullet young Dinsmore lies dead.' Two men with a stretcher did quickly prepare And they carried me off to an hospital there. Cold water and brandy they poured out so free, And they turned me all over, my wounds for to see, But if I had my Annie to bind up my wounds, One kiss from her sweet lips would deaden the stoun. It's when I am weary and think on lang syne, When I was a miner and wrought in yon mine The tears they do trickle and down they do fa' Like the dew on the roses near bonny Woodha'. 5.4: stoun [stound] = pang, throb, pain.

17 Dec 09 - 12:26 PM (#2790425) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bonny Woodhall/Bonny Wood Green From: GUEST,patrickdebee If anyone coming across my previous entry ends up wondering why the bold typeface is missing, which I promised to use in order to highlight the differences between Sam Henry's and Andy Irvine's versions... Well; I *did* highlight the differences in the Word document I created while I was drafting the text to submit. I then copied the final text from my Word document into the 'Reply to Thread' box, only to find that the latter seems to convert the original font (Times New Roman) into what seems like 'Courrier' after I pasted my entry. Once I clicked on 'Submit Message', the resulting entry reverted back to the original 'Time New Roman' font, but without keeping the bold characters that were in the original... I am sorry this happened but, since I don't know how to fix this, those of you who are really keen to work out the differences might have to print both versions and compare them word for word. In any case, I apologise for misleading you with false promises... ;-) Great love to all; Patrick. |

In my first entry above (17 Dec 09 @ 11:54AM), I primarily wanted to provide the lyrics for Sam Henry쳌fs version, but I could have been a little more complete about playing the tune and in what key. Although Sam Henry쳌fs version indicates it쳌fs in the key of G, Andy actually plays it in the key of E쳌ó. On the Gibson H1 mandola strung with mandolin strings and tuned FCGC as mentioned above, this therefore requires capo3 or, alternatively, capo1 if playing on a 쳌enormal쳌f mandolin tuned GDAD.

02 Nov 11 - 05:52 AM (#3248979) Subject: Lyr Add: BONNY WOOD GREEN From: GUEST,J.Kennedy. County Antrim. Wood Green is an area in County Antrim. In the version that I have been using for about 50 years it is very much a version of the song based on that geographical area. (Most people here know of Wood Green only because it is a railway line that runs near the international airport at Aldergrove) It is synonymous with the origin of another well known traditional song called 'Kellswater' referring to the little river that runs through the beautiful village of Kells, then into the River Braid and eventually into the River Bann and to the sea. By a strange co-incidence as a young student I had a vacation job which took me frequently to John Rosses to collect linen yarn for the factory in which I worked. Here are the words I use when performing the song. Down among the green bushes in bonny Wood Green Where me and my true love we oft times were seen Ah, the years they rolled by and so happy were we For twas little she knew that a soldier I'd be It was early one morning and the lambs they did play I went to Kells barracks and then made my way To enlist as a soldier and to fight for the King To uphold a good cause I left bonny Wood Green Oh, bonny Wood Green, bonny Wood Green To uphold a good cause I left bonny Wood Green And soon we were ordered away o'er the foam For soldiers were needed for to fight for their home I kissed my love Nell, she appeared like the Queen And softly she whispered, "Remember Wood Green" Remember Wood Green, remember Wood Green And softly she whispered, "Remember Wood Green" It was way out in Flanders at the back of the line We were talking of sweethearts that we'd left behind Said one Irish soldier, "Well, I've got a queen" And she works in John Rosses in bonny Wood Green In bonny Wood Green, in bonny Wood Green And she works in John Rosses in bonny Wood Green It was early next morning when the sun was still low And the bullets were flying and he was laid low He turned to his mates in a terrible scene He said, "Kiss my love Nell and remember Wood Green" Oh, remember Wood Green, remember Wood Green Oh, kiss my love Nell and remember Wood Green So if ever to Ulster you happen to stray There's a neat litte factory near Ballynafeigh Where the weavers and the winders are faint to be seen For they all wear white aprons round bonny Wood Green Round bonny Wood Green, round bonny Wood Green For they all wear white aprons round bonny Wood Green |
