27 Jan 02 - 07:44 PM (#636826) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Ye cavaliers of dixie' lyrics From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Tried the War Between the States sites I have, but no luck. Am. Mem. doesn't seem to have it, nor does "War Songs of the South," 1862. Where did Bobby Horton get this one? Or is it a revision of something? |
27 Jan 02 - 07:59 PM (#636842) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Ye cavaliers of dixie' lyrics From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Two lines only: Ye cavaliers of Dixie Who guard the southern shore Your glorious sabers draw once more. Now someone buy Horton's vol. 5 CSA Songs and post it. |

27 Jan 02 - 08:05 PM (#636848) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Ye cavaliers of dixie' lyrics From: Sorcha I was wrong again. I must have found the same place you did, Dicho, with just the same lines. |

"This song, which was very popular with the Southern troops, was written by Benjamin F. Porter. It was sung to the old tune, 'Ye Mariners of England,' which was composed in the eighteenth century by John Wall Collcott, an English organist."
Ye Cavaliers of Dixie!
Chorus:
Ye Cavaliers of Dixie!
The South! she needs no ramparts,
The battle-flag of Dixie
O, battle-flag of Dixie!

27 Jan 02 - 09:46 PM (#636906) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Ye cavaliers of dixie' lyrics From: masato sakurai Sorcha, I bought the book two years ago at a Philadelphia used bookstore for $19.95. It was a good buy. Contains "325 songs and bugle calls from the American Revolutionary War to World War I with music and notes. The most substantial of the U.S. military song collections."(comment from SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY OF MILITARY FOLKLORE). ~Masato |

27 Jan 02 - 11:45 PM (#636963) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Ye cavaliers of dixie' lyrics From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Copies available from Abebooks, $14-75 depending on condition and what the dealer thinks he can get out of it. The 1942 revision has more than the earlier one. |
28 Jan 02 - 01:05 AM (#636992) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Ye cavaliers of dixie' lyrics From: masato sakurai According to Brunnings' Folk Song Index (Garland) and Ferguson's Song Finder (Greenwood), "Cavaliers of Dixie" is also in Henry S. Humphreys, Songs of Confederacy and Willard Allison Heaps, The Singing Sixties: The Spirit of Civil War Days Drawn from the Music of the Times (University of Oklahoma Press, 1960; words only), neither of which I've seen. ~Masato |
28 Jan 02 - 01:34 AM (#636997) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Ye cavaliers of dixie' lyrics From: masato sakurai "Ye Cavaliers of Dixie" is a parody of "Ye Mariners of England." Bodleian Library has 10 editions of "Ye Mariners of England." One of them is THIS. |

29 Jan 02 - 10:04 AM (#637868) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Ye cavaliers of dixie' lyrics From: Jim Dixon Would anyone care to transcribe "Ye Mariners of England" (see Masato's link above) and post the lyrics here? |
29 Jan 02 - 01:41 PM (#638040) Subject: Lyr Add: YE MARINERS OF ENGLAND From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) YE MARINERS OF ENGLAND Ye mariners of England, That guard our native seas, Whose flag has braved a thousand years The battle and the breeze, Your glorious standard launch again, To match another foe, As ye sweep through the deep, While the stormy tempests blow; While battle rages loud and long, And stormy tempests blow. The spirit of your fathers Shall start from every wave; For the deck it was their field of fame, And ocean was their grave. Where Blake and mighty Nelson fell, Your manly hearts shall glow, As you sweep through the deep, While the stormy tempests blow; While the battle rages loud and long, And the stormy tempests blow. Britannia needs no bulwark, No towers along the steep, Her march is over the mountain wave, Her home is on the deep. With thunders from her native oak, She quells the floods below-- When the battle rages loud and long, And the stormy tempests blow. The meteor flag of England Shall yet terrific burn, Till danger's troubled night depart, And the star of peace return. Then, then, ye ocean warriors, Our song and feast shall flow, To the fame of your name, When the storm has ceased to blow; When the fiery fight is heard no more, And the storm has ceased to blow. Bodleian Library, Ballads catalogue: 2806 d.31 (64) If anything, the original is worse poetry than the Southern remake. Second verse of another version: The spirit of your father will start from every wave, The deck it was their field of fame, and the ocean was their grave, Where Blake, the boast of freedom, fought, your many hearts will glow, As you sweep through the deep, while the stormy winds do blow, While the battle rages long and loud, And the stormy tempests blow.

29 Jan 02 - 02:04 PM (#638056) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Ye cavaliers of dixie' lyrics From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) According to The Oxford Book of English Verse and the Univ. Toronto website, Thomas Campbell, 1774-1844 wrote this, pub. 1801. His title was Ye Mariners of England A Naval Ode. I must get up earlier than Masato, so I thought I would save him some time by posting the lyrics. He will probably come up with more later on. |
