Down In The Willow Garden
"Down in the Willow Garden", also known as "Rose Connelly" is a traditional Appalachian murder ballad about a man facing the gallows for the murder of his lover: he gave her poisoned wine, stabbed her, and threw her in a river. It originated in the 19th century, probably in Ireland, before becoming established in the United States. The lyrics greatly vary among earlier versions, but professional recordings have stabilized the song in a cut-down form. First professionally recorded in 1927, it was made popular by Charlie Monroe's 1947 version, and it has been recorded dozens of times since then. Origins The song may have derived from Irish sources from the early 19th century. Edward Bunting noted a song by the name "Rose Connolly" in 1811 in Coleraine. A version with slightly different lyrics is known from Galway in 1929. There are lyrical similarities to W. B. Yeats' 1899 poem "Down by the Salley Gardens", which itself probably derives from the Irish ballad, "The Rambling Boys of Pl ...

Among his other popular nicknames are "The Singing Brakeman" and "The Blue Yodeler".

Do Re Mi (Woody Guthrie Song)
"Do Re Mi" is a folk song by American songwriter Woody Guthrie. The song deals with the experiences and reception of Dust Bowl migrants when they arrive in California. "One song, 'Do Re Mi,' told about illegal roadblocks the Los Angeles police set up at the California border. The police refused entry to out-of-state travelers who didn't have jobs or enough 'do re mi' (money) to live on." It is known for having two guitar parts, both recorded by Guthrie. Background Written by Woody Guthrie, the song is included on his 1940 folk album ''Dust Bowl Ballads''. It takes the form of a warning to would-be migrants to stay where they are (places of origin mentioned include Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, and Tennessee). The argument is made on the basis that there are already too many migrants, and not enough money or work available to make the hardships and expense of the trip worthwhile. The message of the song parallels a theme of John Steinbeck's seminal novel ''The Grapes of Wrath' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
