24 Aug 03 - 02:29 PM (#1007379) Subject: Lyr Add: HIND HORN (from Tony Rose) From: Roberto I'd like to get the text of Hind Horn as sung by Tony Rose, in Bandoggs. Here is what I can get. There is a phrase I can't get in the seventh stanza, and I am not of some words here and there. Please, somebody that knows this recording, could you help me to complete and correct this text? Thank you. Roberto Young Hind Horn to the King he's gone Hey lililo and a ho lo la And he's fell in love with his daughter Jean Hey down and a hey diddle downy She gave to him a golden ring With three bright diamonds set therein When this ring grows pale and wan It's there that you'll know that love is gone Now the king has sent him o'er the sea For seven long years in a far country One day his ring grew pale and wan And he knew that she'd loved another man So he's left the sea for his own land And it's there that he's met with a beggar man What news, what news old man (...) There's none save the wedding in the king's own ha' Cast off, cast off your beggar's weeds And I'll give you me good grey steed Oh it's when he came to the king's own gate He's sought them a drink to the bridegroom's sake And the bride gave him a glass of wine And when he's drunk he's dropped in the ring Oh got ye this by the sea or the land? Or you took (?)this from a dead man's hand? I got it neither be sea nor land For you gave it to me with your own hand Oh, I'll cast off me gown of red And along with thee I'll beg my bread Oh, you need not leave your bridal gown For I'll make you the lady of many's the town Her own bridegroom had her first wed But young Hind Horn had her first to bed |

(The replacement of ha' with hall is debatable; the ending of the word is very soft and it could be ha', it just that hall rhymes better with the definite befall of the previous line). Mick Young ... When this ring grows pale and wan It's then that you'll know me love is gone ... What news, what news old man doth befall It's none save the wedding in the king's own hall ... Oh it's when he came to the king's own gate He's sought there a drink for the bridegroom's sake ... Oh got ye this by the sea or the land? Or took ye this from a dead man's hand? ... |

25 Aug 03 - 06:07 AM (#1007698) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tony Rose's Hind Horn From: GUEST,MCP But none of them the Bandoggs version. There's no source given on the LP and I had a (admittedly very quick) look in Child and the short Bronson and can't see the version there either. They might have made it up of course. Perhaps someone recognises the version. Mick |

25 Aug 03 - 02:18 PM (#1007867) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tony Rose's Hind Horn From: Anglo Well, if you'd looked in the tune appendix of Child you'd have found the tune. It's based on the I text which is admittedly hard to find (in Additions and Corrections). |

25 Aug 03 - 03:48 PM (#1007913) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tony Rose's Hind Horn From: GUEST,MCP Quite right about the tune, but the I text is no nearer the Bandogg's text than any of the other versions. Mick |
