Don't know if they're Mudcatters, and I don't have the words, but if you can get their version, it will be worth whatever it takes to do it.. Jerry |

06 Jan 02 - 03:37 PM (#622265) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Reynard (Through the Woods They Ran) From: Herga Kitty Marrow Bones (one of 3 anthologies from the Hammond and Gardiner Mss, published by the then EFDS in 1965)has "Three Jolly Huntsmen", collected in 1908 from William Taylor in the Petersfield Workhouse, Hampshire. The verses are similar, but the chorus goes, "With my hip, hip, hip and my holloa / And away went the merry, merry band / With my ran, tan, tan and my chivvy, chivvy chan / All over the merry, merry strand. / With my ugle, ugle, ugle went the bugle horn / Fal-le-ral, fal-le-ral,fal-le-ral-le-dee / And through the woods we'll go, brave boys / and through the woods we'll go. I sang this at the Four Fools festival a few years ago, and Les Barker said "What a silly song...." Kitty |

06 Jan 02 - 10:25 PM (#622494) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Reynard (Through the Woods They Ran) From: Stewie Anglo, your recollection is correct, but they titled it 'Three Jolly Sportsmen' rather than 'Huntsmen'. The sleeve note says they found out in a Bromyard pub in 1970 that it came from the EFDSS's 'Marrowbones'. It was on 'Pastime With Good Company' Argo ZFB 39 [1972]. Cheers, Stewie.

I put a link to a midi of the tune, and other related material, in the previous discussion mentioned earlier. |

On "For All the Good People: a Golden Ring Reunion" it is called The Reindeer Song, done together with "Grandma's Song" -- mourns the passing of someone who sang it. Reynard is fox. Sounds like fun to sing in harmony. MAG |

Dave Para is an occasional Mudcatter, but we don't hear from him often. Maybe now that Jerry Rasmussen is a regular with us, we can entice Dave to pay more attention!

09 Jan 02 - 02:48 PM (#624230) Subject: Lyr Add: BOWENA (Trad. Wisconsin) From: Jim Dixon [Copied from Judy Cook's web page, with a few punctuation and formatting changes. See PaulM's link above.]
BOWENA All versions I've heard of this English hunting song have wonderful and outrageous choruses. This is my favorite; it feels great to sing it. It seems "Bold Reynard" the fox changed his name to "Bowena" when he reached Wisconsin.
CHORUS: Come hic, come hic, come high-low,
Come all you gallant sportsmen who love to hunt the fox,
The first we saw was a blind man as blind as he could be.
The next they saw was a farmer a-hoeing of his corn.
The next they saw was a fair maid a-combing of her locks.
Come all you gallant sportsmen who love to hunt the fox. A version of an English song from Folk Music from Wisconsin edited by Helene Stratman-Thomas, sung by Mr. J.L. Peters at Beloit, WI on Library of Congress L55. I joined Mr. Peters' three verses with one from England to have more fun with the chorus.
From Judy Cook's CD "Far From The Lowlands" |
