A song by Ewan MacColl:  THE TERROR TIME  DT file, with tune; also in the Forum under its other -original, I think- title,   WINTER SONG  with tune in miditext and abc, plus a link to a midi.

Any more words? Sounds a bit like "Sir James the Rose" or the Finnish ballad "The Bloody Son" from Swinburne's Poems and Ballads.

The one I'm thinking of is "Will you gang love and leave me now? Will you gang love and leave me now? Will you forsake your ane love true, for a bonnie lass that you never knew?" If this is it, let me know. It's an Andy M. Stewart song. (I think) I have the words around here somewhere. Z

WILL YE GANG, LOVE is also in the Digitrad. Good song, but not the one required. Malcolm got it right.

Yep Malcolm, that's the one. Terrific. Thanks.

Zorro. I used to sing this song. it was one of my favourites, very emotional. thanks for reminding me of it.

IanC. Will have a look at this source. You can never be too thin, too rich or know too many songs (Old folk saying.)

Thanks all

Can anyone email me the chords to Ewan MacColl's " The Terror Time. I have only heard Old Blind Dogs rendition of it and it appears to be only 3 chords D,C, & G.   Can anyone confirm this?   Thanks

Can't imagine it being sung to an accompaniment - it's chilling just with the unaccompanied voice. 'Winds of Change' on the other hand.....!!

Didn't MacColl write this as "Winter Song"? Jean Redpath was the first singer I heard sing it as Terror Time.

From: Fred McCormick

It was never called Winter Song. MacColl called it The Terror Time and it is from the Radio Ballad, The Travelling People. In fact it's from the section where they talk about Travellers braving the winter, naturally. Just before it starts, one of the Scots Travellers says "ahh that's the Terror Time."

Subject: Lyr Req: The Hunger time
From: Susan-Marie

I half-remember a great song about surviving the winter that I thought was called "The Hunger Time" and sung by a Scot.

The heather is gone
And the bracken has died
Streams they run cold and clear
And the small birds will be goin'
And its then that you'll be knowin'
That the hunger time is here

Anyone know who wrote it and where I can find the rest of it?

The song I think you're looking for is Ewan MacColl's "The Terror Time"...it's in the DT, just put terror time in the search box.

Twenty minutes for a hard question - I'm duly impressed, Effsee.

I can't find an Ewan MacColl recording right off, but I found a very powerful recording by Jean Redpath.

Ah, Terror, not Hunger. That explains why I couldn't find it. Thanks so much guys.
