08 May 98 - 01:48 AM (#27702) Subject: Lyr Req: Back In The Old Sunday School From: John in Brisbane This may be a tough one, but I learned it as a kid from a Regal Zonophone 78. It was 1930's cowboyish in style with country male harmonies. The chorus went something like "...we promised to love one another, learning the sweet Golden Rule, .......... back in the old Sunday school. I have no real idea whether it was of US or Australian origin, but they also sang Ragtime Cowboy Joe. TGIF John |

05 Aug 02 - 01:52 AM (#759891) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Back In The Old Sunday School From: John in Brisbane After 4+ years my thanks go to Dale, but I was never confident that I would be buying the right sheet nusic - the advertised title is slightly different. I now know that this was recorded by the Beverly Hillbillies in 1932/4 and yes, after 40 years my memory was correct that the other side was Ragtime Cowboy Joe. Anyone have the lyrics please? I could whip up the melody from memory, but probably not the harmonies. This song was my earliest memory as a kid of close male harmonies, so it's very dear to my heart. As an aside, I rarely get to hear male folk harmonies in Australia, even though there are any number of fantastic female groups and ad hoc performances. Are all the males too busy playing fiddle and DADGAD parlour pieces? Regards, John |

Other recordings I found mentioned besides what Jim found were by Dan Robert's Hometowners and The Pickens Sisters. None of these seem the least bit familiar to me, so I guess I was wrong when I said I thought I had it. |

One cousin was inquiring about the song as she has a paper with most of the lyrics written by our late grandfather. I found (ukulele) sheet music online by Mai Singhi Breen, see link: http://www.ianchadwick.com/pdfs/may_singhi_solos.pdf You can also purchase CD by The Original Beverly Hill Billies at: http://www.rootsandrhythm.com/roots/Newsletter147/newsletter147_BACM_6.htm |
