18 Dec 01 - 06:16 PM (#612600) Subject: ADD: Ballad of Julie Ann (part) From: GUEST Main thread on Julianne, with lyrics (click)I am looking for the complete lyrics of a song I learned at Girl Scout Camp Marapai in Arizona in the mid-1960's. Can anyone fill in the blanks for me? Here are a couple of 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. |

18 Dec 01 - 07:10 PM (#612665) Subject: RE: Ballad of Julie Ann From: Joe Offer There's a recording of this on The Definitive New Christy Minstrels, attributed to Randy Sparks. The album attributes lots of traditional songs to Sparks, so it's hard to tell if this might be one he actually wrote. -Joe Offer- |

After all these years he can not seem to remember all of the tune to Julie Ann and I would love to be able to find it for him. If you have any information as to where I can get this Christy Minstrels recording I would appriciate it. |

Both are available from Collectors' Choice Music, http://www.ccmusic.com. Amazon also has them. -Joe Offer- |

03 Aug 09 - 12:02 PM (#2692812) Subject: RE: Ballad of Julie Ann From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Randy Sparks did write the song. I heard him do it in Fresno, CA, years and years ago as a solo. The Minstrels recorded it. He had a knack for what I would call "adaptive" songs, of which this is one of his best, I believe. He also wrote "Today," from the forgettable film, "Advance to the Rear." He got his start in the business at about the time Terry Gilkyson's Easy Riders were making the charts with "Marianne." I pick up some similarities in their writing styles. Maybe it's just me? |
