WHO MADE THE GATHERING
OF THESE SONGS POSSIBLE THIS
BOOK IS GRATEFULLY DEDICATED


 








































































THE HOME OF THE LONESOME TUNES

 
















4L In publishing this collection of Folk
Songs we wish it to be primarily an
impression of Kentucky music -that
is to say, songs reproduced as nearly as
possible as we heard them sung by the
people, regardless of their extraneous ori-
gin or defects. To correct these melodies
and to perfect the poetic versions would
give them a totally different character.
Our main effort has been to give this
volume the simplicity and the naiVete
which is the great quality of these
mountain songs.
                            L. W.

 
















4I It is our duty and our great pleasure to acknowl-
edge our obligation to those from whom these
songs have beern gleaned. No one who has not
made the attempt can appreciate the difficulty of
committing to paper words and music coming from
the lips of another. It gives to the term "oral
tradition" a new meaning.
EL If the difficulty of him who writes is great, how
much greater is the tax upon the patience and
kindness of those who sing I

41 We were the happy recipients of enduring pa-
tience and unfailing kindness from the following,
whom we hope we may venture to call our friends.

AL Mrs. Sallie Adams, Miss Mary Ann Bagley, Mrs.
Abner Boggs, Mr. Art. Boggs, Miss Fidella Day.
Mrs. Jaspar Day, Mr. Fitzhugh Draughn, Mr
Leonard Meece, Mrs. Powell, Miss Talitha Powell,
Mrs. Betty Jane Smith, Mr. Hillard Smith, Mr.
Bristol Taylor, Miss Anna May Wagers, Miss
Lauda Whitt, and the children of the Pine Moun-
tain and Hindman Settlement Schools.

              Barbara Allen
                        I
 All in the merry month of May
 When the green buds they were swelling,
 William Green on his death- bed lay
 For the love of Barbara Allen.
                       rI
 He sent his servant to the town
 To the place where she was dwelling
 Saying "Love, there is a call for you
 If your name is Barbara Allen."

 She was very slowly getting up
 And very slowly going,
 The only words she said to him
 Were "Young man I think you're dying.'
                       Iv
"Don't you remember the other day
When you were in town a-drinking,
You drank a health to the ladies all around
And slighted Barbara Allen"
                       V
"O yes, I remember the other day
When I was in town a-drinking,
I drank a health to the ladies all around,
But my love to Barbara Allen!'
                       VI
 He turned his pale face to the wall
 And death was in him dwelling;
 "Adieu, adieu, to my friends all,
 Be kind to Barbara Allen."
                      VII
 When she got in two miles of town
 She heard the death bells ringing:
 They rang so clear, as if to say
 "Hard-hearted Barbara Allen!"
                      VIII
 So she looked east and she looked west
 And saw the cold corpse coming,
 She saysUCome round you nice young man
 And let me look upon you."
                       IX
 The more she looked the more she grieved
 Until she burst out crying
 "Perhaps I could have saved that young man's life
 Who now is here a-lying.'
                        X
"O Mother, 0 Mother, come make my bed
O make it both soft and narrow,
For sweet William died to-day
And I will die to-morrow."
                       XI
"O Father, 0 Father, come dig my grave
O dig it deep and narrow,
For sweet William died in love
And I will die in sorrow."
                       XII
 Sweet William was buried in the old church tomb,
 Barbara Allen was buried in the yard;
 Out of William's heart grew a red rose,
 Out of Barbara Allen's grew a brier.
                      xII
 They grew and grew to the old church tower
 And they could not grow any higher;
 And at the end tied a true lover's knot
 And the rose wrapped around the brier.

O Brother Green, 0 come to me,
For I am shot and bleeding,
Now I must die no more to see
My wife and my dear children.
                   II
The southern foe has laid me low
On this cold ground to suffer,
Stay, brother stay and lay me away,
And write my wife a letter.
                  m
Tell her that I am prepared to die
And want to meet her in heaven,
Since I believed in Jesus Christ,
My sins are all forgiven.
                   rV
My little children, I love them well,
I could once more see them,
That I might bid them a long farewell
Want we meet in heaven.
                   V
Dear Mary, you must train them well
And train them up for heaven;
Teach them to love and serve the Lord
And then they will be respected.
                  VI
Dear father, you have suffered long
And prayed for my salvation;
Now I must die and leave you all
So fare you well temptation.
                  VII
Dear sister, now you must not grieve
For the loss of your dear brother;
For I am going to learn to live
To see my blessed mother.
                  vm
Two brothers yet I will not forget,
A-fighting in this Union;
With my dear wife I have given of my life,
So put down this rebellion.
                   Ix
Your ears are deaf, your eyes are dim,
But Oh! that wonderful story;
We will meet again in that bright world,
Where all is peace and pleasure.
                   x
O Brother I am dying now,
O 1 do die so easy,
Surely Death has lost its sting
Because I love my Jesus.
                  xI
Go tell my wife she must not grieve,
Go kiss my dear little children;
For they will call for me in vain
When I am gone to heaven.

   Frog Went A-Courting


                I
Frog went a courting and he did ride
Rinktum body minchy cambo
Sword and buckler by his side
Rinktum body minchy cambo.
             REFRAIN
     Kimaneero down to Cairo
     Kimaneero Cairo
     Straddle addle ladda bobbo
     Ladda bobbolinktum
     Rinktumn body minchy cambo
                II
He rode down by the mill side door
To hear his saddle squeak and roar
               III
He rode down to Lady Mousda house
The old mouse was not at home
                Iv
The old mouse came home at last
Shook her big fat sides and laughed
                V
He took Miss Mousie on his knee
Pray Miss Mouse will you marry me
                VI
Who will make the wedding gown
Old Miss Rat from pumpkin town
               VII
Where will the wedding breakfast be
Way down yonder in a hollow tree

              vm
What will the wedding supper be
A fried mosquito and a roasted flea
                Ix
First came in was a bumble bee
A fiddle buckled on his knee
                x
Next came in were two little ants
Fixing around to have a dance
               XI
Next came in was a little flea
To dance a jig for the bumble bee
               XI
