All Around My Hat
Status quo Lyrics
All around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
Fare the well cold winter
And fare the well cold frost
But nothing have I gain
But my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry
When occasion I do see
She's a false deluded young girl
Let here go farewell she
And all around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
The other night she brought me
A fine diamond ring but,
She taught to have deprive me
Of a far better thing
But I being careful
As lovers ought to be
She's a false deluded young girl
Let her go farewell she
And all around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For twelve months and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
All around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelwe month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
Ah, Nice to see our Try here. That is a very unusual song, buddy. Wonder what the significance of the green willow is?
A silent request:
Neil Diamond
Believe me
I'm someone who believes in you
Say, you really had a million dollars
And a car for every day of the week
So what? You know what?
It wouldn't mean not a single thing
Without that someone
Who believes it too
Yeah, you gotta have someone
Who believes in you
Say, you really had a hollywood contract
And your face up on the big billboard
Big car, big star
You'd move a lot, but you wouldn't get far
Without that someone
Who believes it too
You better have someone
Who believes in you
You are the truest part of me
That quiet place where I can be strong
You come to fill my deepest needs
You call my name, and I hear your song
Believe me
There's someone who believes in you
So, you really got the hots for stardom
All you need is some big guitar
To take you, and make you
Into an overnight star
And then you'll find that
Stars get lonesome too
And you better have someone
Who believes in you
You are the truest part of me
That tender place where I can be strong
You come to fill my deepest needs
You speak my name, and I hear your song
So you really want a job in the circus
Paint your face and make the people smile
A clown, come on down
You've been too long walking that high wire
When you're falling, you'll be calling to
Be calling out to someone who believes you
Someone who's there when nobody needs you
Calling out to someone who believes in you
Sam Stone
By John Prine
sam stone came home to his wife and family
after serving in the conflict overseas
and the time that he served had shattered all his nerve
and left a little shrapnel in his knee
but the morphine eased the pain
and the grass grew round his brain
and gave him all the confidence he lacked
with a purple heart and a monkey on his back
(chorus)
there's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes
jesus christ died for nothing i suppose
little pictures have big ears
don't stop to count the years
sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
sam stone's welcome home didn't last too long
he went to work when he'd spent his last dime
and sammy took to stealin' when he got that empty feelin'
for a hundred dollar habit without overtime
and the gold rolled through his veins
like a thousand railroad trains
and eased his mind in the hours that he chose
while the kids ran around wearing other peoples clothes
(chorus)
sam stone was alone when he popped his last balloon
climbing walls while sitting in a chair
and they played his last request while the room smelled just like death
with an overdose hovering in the air
cause life had lost it's fun and there was nothing to be done
but trade his house that he bought on the g. i. bill
for a flag-draped casket on a local hero's hill
(chorus)

"Words Are Not Enough" Lyrics
Words are not enough
To show the way I feel about you
Though the times might get rough
I know that I, will always want you.
Times gone by, I never knew
What a woman in love could really do
People say love just comes and goes
But with you sweet babe
This never could be true
Time is not long enough
To do all the things we want to do
So I'm gonna make sure that I spend my time
Lyin' here, lyin' here with you....
Baby, you're the fire that heats my soul
The warmth you give could never grow cold
I don't know how long we'll last
As long as you're here, that's all I ask
The words are not enough
To show the way I feel about you
Though the times might get rough
I know that I, will always want you...
Ooh- ooh, you're the fire that heats my soul
The warmth you give could never grow cold
I don't know how long we'll last
As long as you're here, that's all I ask
(You're the fire) You're the fire that heats my soul
The warmth you give could never grow cold (never grow cold)
I don't know how long we'll last
As long as you're here, that's all I ask
(You're the fire) You're the fire that heats my soul (warms my soul)
The warmth you give could never grow cold
(I don't know) I don't know how long we'll last
As long as you're here that's all I ask
Try, I think that "all around my hat" was by Steeleye Span?
Carry on everyone, you're doing a MARVELLOUS job.
Wow, Texas. That sounds like Nam. If I'm not mistaken, demerol was supposed to be a synthetic type of morphine, and non addicting. As it turned out, it was just as bad if not worse:

'I fought hard in the Second World War'
You hear them shout
No good bragging about the Afrika Korps
It was Beadle's About
They dressed you up and took you off to World War One
Armed you and surrounded you with wire
Sat in stinking mud you sung your stupid songs
And waited till they told you when to fire
Cause the rulers always laugh
At a video bloodbath
Nothing makes them laugh
Like a video bloodbath
From the First World War to the Yom-Kippur
It was Beadle's About
The bayonets slice, the rockets roar
And he jumps out
Fond memories of the bloody bridge you failed to hold
Many of your buddies killed or maimed
You would've shot at rabbits if that's what you'd been told
Till the General said 'I'm sorry you ve been framed'
Cause the rulers always laugh
At a video bloodbath
And nothing gets a laugh
Like a video bloodbath
Chorus:
Keep those entries coming
Leave those cameras nunning
Keep those entrails coming
Leave those soldiers gunning
Because you're sure to get a laugh
With a video bloodbath
Nothing gets a laugh
Like a video bloodbath
Here's a wacky video we got last week
A bomb catches Arthur unawares
He's lost both his anms and he can't see or speak
But thank you for tht memory you shared
Cause the rulers always laugh
At a video bloodbath
And nothing gets a laugh
Like a video bloodbath
Chorus
Well, my goodness, folks. I missed our Butterfly with a smile and playing hot stuff. Hey, Auzzie. good to have you back once again.
L.E. what in the world are you doing up at midnight, honey? Don't tell me that I will have to fix you breakfast again. <smile> I guess we'll have to ask our Tryman about that title, Brit.
All around my hat.
Oh my.
Listeners, I think I'm having a flashback to about 1978 and an ethnomusicology course I was taking.
A marvellous traditional song ... which Steeleye Span made very popular. Thank goodness.
Nothing like a final exam with Steeleye Span on it
, and Traffic's version of John Barleycorn in the compare and contrast portion of the exam.
There were three men came out of the west
Their fortunes for to try,
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn must die.
They've ploughed, they've sown, they've harrowed him in
Threw clods upon his head,
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn was dead.
They let him lie for a very long time
Till the rains from Heaven did fall,
And little Sir John sprung up his head
And so amazed them all.
They've let him stand till Midsummer's day,
Till he looked both pale and wan.
And little Sir John's grown a long, long beard
And so become a man.
They've hired men with the scythes so sharp,
To cut him off at the knee,
They've rolled him and tied him by the waist,
Serving him most barbarously.
They've hired men with the sharp pitchforks,
Who pricked him through the heart
And the loader, he has served him worse than that,
For he's bound him to the cart.
They've wheeled him around and around a field,
Till they came unto a barn,
And there they made a solemn oath
On poor John Barleycorn
They've hired men with the crab-tree sticks,
To cut him skin from bone,
And the miller, he has served him worse than that,
For he's ground him between two stones.
And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl
And his brandy in the glass
And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl
Proved the strongest man at last
The huntsman, he can't hunt the fox
Nor so loudly to blow his horn,
And the tinker, he can't mend kettle nor pots
without a little barley corn
vs
There was three kings into the east,
Three kings both great and high,
And they hae sworn a solemn oath
John Barleycorn should die.
They took a plough and plough'd him down,
Put clods upon his head,
And they hae sworn a solemn oath
John Barleycorn was dead.

Lord E wrote, "Try, I think that "all around my hat" was by Steeleye Span?"
You are quite right in your assertion; however, the lyrics of their version are open to interpretation. The song is an original old Irish Folk Song:
Irish Folksongs Lyrics -
ALL AROUND MY HAT
My love she was fair, and my love she was kind
And cruel the judge and jury that sentenced her away
For thieving was a thing that she never was inclined to
They sent my love across the sea ten thousand miles away.
cho:
All around my hat, I will wear the green willow,
All around my hat for a year and a day
And if anyone should question me the reason for my wearing it
I'll tell them that my own true love is ten thousand miles away.
I bought my love a golden ring to wear upon her finger
A token of our own true love and to remember me
And when she returns again, we never will be parted
We'll marry and be happy for ever and a day.
cho:
Seven, seven long years my love and I are parted
Seven, seven long years my love is bound to stay
Seven long years I'll love my love and never be false-hearted
And never sigh or sorrow while she's far, far away.
cho:
Some young men there are who are preciously deceitful,
A-coaxin' of the fair young maids they mean to lead astray
As soon as they deceive them, so cruelly they leave them
I'll love my love forever though she's far, far away,
This version is by Steeleye Span
All Around My Hat lyrics
Chorus:
All around my hat,
I will wear the green willow
All around my hat,
For a twelvemonth and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it,
It's all for my true love,
Who is far, far away
Fare thee well, cold winter
And fare thee well, cold frost
Nothing have I gained,
But my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry
When occasion I do see,
He's a false, deluding young man,
Let him go, farewell he, and ...
Chorus
The other night he brought me
A fine diamond ring, but he
Thought to have deprive me
Of a far better thing!
But I being careful,
Like lovers ought to be,
He's a false, deluding young man
Let him go, farewell he, and ...
Chorus
With a quarter pound of reason,
And a half a pound of sense,
A small spring of time,
And as much of prudence,
You mix them all together,
And you will plainly see
He's a false deluding young man
Let him go, farewell he, and ...
Chorus
Enjoy!
Well, ehBeth. Welcome back. Ah, my Irish friend, Al, knew that song, TO. and he used to recite it like a poem. Played great tenor sax, but could be a bit odd at times, as all those Irish can be. <smile> somewhere here, I have his Irish anecdote about "...kicking a drunken pig to death.."

After The Gold Rush
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home.

Whew! Your PD has had a difficult time getting back to all of you. It may be the leprechaun who has snuck in here with the allusions to the Irish. Either that or a banshee.
Good to here exchanges between Try and all. Helps us learn about oral history via music.
hamburger, Those quotes are wonderful, buddy. The one Bud really liked was:
Hate water. Fish "function" in it.
What an unusual man, he was.
Rex, welcome back, and that Neil Diamond song was one that we have never heard. ( or, at least, one that I haven't heard) Great, Maine. Nice to see you back with us.

Even the Oxen
Grant Lee Buffalo
Here is the one here is the one here is the one mistake that can not be made
There is a line that is crossed over once and only once let it be said
All of the hubris clenched in our fist won't punch our way out of here
You know what I've told and I tell but you won't let it pass into your ears
Even the oxen ramming their heads on wood rails
Come to know pain before the rusted barrier falls
Before the radio long before radio waves struck down to touch
Off the wild flame that took all in its path and trampled the young underbrush
Music shooed clouds away billowing anxieties are rolled over and out
Seems like a lot of folks gave up and got out except for the truly devout
Who like the oxen ramming their heads on wood rails
Came to be dizzy before the barrier fell
Love is the one love is the one weapon that hasn't been brandished yet in this song
Strikes fear in the pockets of bankers and generals without it we can't carry on
And all of us knew this at one time from teething to toothless it's safe to say
But useless perhaps to point out that we've lost our instincts and awe in this day
And like the oxen ramming their heads on tin walls
Might come to know mercy before the barrier falls
And I come to know mercy before the barrier falls
And I come to know mercy before the barrier falls
Falls falls
And it falls falls falls
And it falls falls falls
Not to worry, hamburger, we won't blame you, and I don't see any reason to get angry. Perhaps W.C. was the last of the rugged individualists. <smile>

Sweet and low, sweet and low,
Wind of the western sea,
Low, low, breathe and blow,
Wind of the western sea!
Over the rolling waters go,
Come from the dying moon, and blow,
Blow him again to me,
While my little one,
While my pretty one,
Sleeps.
Sleep and rest, sleep and rest,
Father will come to thee soon;
Rest, rest, on mother's breast,
Father will come to thee soon;
Father will come to his babe in the nest,
Silver sails all out of the west,
Under the silver moon;
Sleep my little one,
Sleep my pretty one,
Sleep.

Ralph Bellamy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ralph Rexford Bellamy (June 17, 1904 - November 29, 1991) was an American actor.
Bellamy was born in Chicago, Illinois. He began his acting career on stage, and by 1927 owned his own theatre company. In 1931 he made his film debut and worked constantly throughout the thirties, establishing himself as a capable supporting actor. He received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Awful Truth (1937) and played a similar role in His Girl Friday (1940). He played detective Ellery Queen in a few films during the forties, but as his film career had not progressed, he returned to the stage, where he continued to perform throughout the fifties.
Highly regarded within the industry, he served four years as President of Actor's Equity.
He appeared in Sunrise at Campobello (1960) and Rosemary's Baby (1968) before turning to television during the seventies. An Emmy Award nomination for the mini-series The Winds of War (1983), in which Bellamy reprised his Sunrise at Campobello role of Franklin Roosevelt, and a role as a conniving billionaire alongside Don Ameche in Trading Places (also 1983) brought him back into the limelight.
In 1984 he was presented with a Life Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild, and in 1987 received an Honorary Academy Award "for his unique artistry and his distinguished service to the profession of acting."
He continued working regularly and gave his final performance in Pretty Woman (1990).
He died as a result of a lung ailment in Santa Monica, California at the age of 87, and was buried in Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Bellamy has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6542 Hollywood Boulevard.
Barry Manilow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barry ManilowBarry Manilow (born Barry Alan Pincus in Brooklyn, New York on June 17, 1943) is an American singer and songwriter best known for his hit recordings "I Write The Songs", "Mandy" and "Copacabana (At The Copa)".
Manilow dominated the charts for much of the 1970s with a string of major hit singles and multi-platinum albums. His music has often been considered by many to be "kitsch" or "camp", owing to its difference in style from the majority of the pop or rock charts. Despite the frequent barbs from critics, as well as the lampooning by comedians, he continues to maintain a large fan base, especially among baby-boomer women in his native United States. This is evidenced by the No. 3 debut of his 2002 greatest hits album Ultimate Manilow. In 1990, Rolling Stone proclaimed him "the showman of our generation". He has sold more than 80 million records worldwide.
Early life
Manilow was born to humble origins in Brooklyn, New York on June 17, 1943. Shortly after his birth, his father, Harold Pincus (born to a Russian-Jewish father and Irish mother) and his mother Edna Manilow divorced. The young Manilow was then brought up by his mother and grandparents, Russian-Jewish immigrants who had a strong influence on his life. He began singing shortly before his Bar Mitzvah at the age of 13. At this point, he legally changed his surname to his mother's maiden name of Manilow. He took up the accordion, but preferring the piano, he persevered at the tickling of the ivories, a move which would one day prove to be vital for his future career.
Career
Manilow's record label, Arista, took three years off his announced age when he was really 32 (in 1975) and made him 29 years old so he would appeal to teens; Arista public relations staff announced his birth to be in 1946, eschewing his actual birth year of 1943.
Early in his career, Manilow was a commercial jingle writer/singer, writing the theme for State Farm Insurance, "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there" and the "Stuck on Band-Aid" song, among many others. Reportedly he also wrote the breakthrough McDonald's ad campaign theme, "You Deserve a Break Today". He then worked as a pianist, producer and arranger, accompanying Bette Midler among others at the Continental Bathhousein New York City.
Manilow's major solo hits include "Mandy" (1974), "Copacabana (At The Copa)" (1978) and I Write The Songs (1975). Several year after its release, Manilow's Copacabana was turned into a stage musical that ran for two years in the West End. The show toured the US in 2000 and 2003. His greatest UK hit was "I Wanna Do It With You" (1982) which reached no. 8 in the UK charts, his only top ten hit there.
Manilow's first album was released by Bell Records, (later known as Arista records) in 1973. The album contained an eclectic mix of piano-driven pop, Big Band remixes, and guitar-driven rock. His second album, which was named Barry Manilow II (Bell/Arista, 1974) contained Manilow's huge breakthrough hit "Mandy." This led to a string of hit singles and albums that lasted through the rest of the 1970s, ending in the early 1980's. While Manilow is known as a songwriter, it is ironic that he did not write "I Write The Songs", which was actually written by Bruce Johnston of The Beach Boys (written about Brian Wilson).
After his landmark Concert at Blenheim Palace in August of 1983, Manilow started to venture into a jazz-driven style, starting with the 1984 album 2:00 AM Paradise Cafe. The album was recorded with jazz greats Sarah Vaughan, Mel Torme and Gerry Mulligan. Manilow would return to the genre in 1987, with the release of Swing Street. The techno-jazz-inspired album contained performances with Dianne Schuur, Phyllis Hyman, Kid Creole and the Coconuts, and Tom Scott.
From 1985 to 1986, Manilow was involved with the pop album Manilow (RCA, 1985), and began a phase of international music, as he performed songs and duets in French, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese, among other languages. The 1980s saw a number of singles released, such as Bermuda Triangle 1981, Let's Hang On 1981, Stay 1982 and Please Don't Be Scared in 1989. The only one of these songs to chart in the U.S. was "Let's Hang On".
In the 1990s, Manilow recorded a succession of "event" albums, guided by Arista's President, Clive Davis. From 1991's Showstoppers, a collection of Broadway tunes, to a big band album, Singin' with the Big Bands (1994), a 1970s collection Summer of '78, (perhaps the weakest effort of his career), the decade ended with Manilow recording a tribute to Frank Sinatra Manilow Sings Sinatra (1998), shortly after Sinatra's death.
Manilow's music connected with a new generation when top British boy band Take That reached number 3 in the UK charts with Could It Be Magic (1992) . Later, Irish boy band Westlife reached number 1 with Mandy (2003), in a version clearly based on Manilow's hit version (differing only in that they omitted the piano introduction and inserted a different fade-out ending).
After the start of the new millennium, Manilow left Arista Records for Concord Records, a jazz-oriented label in California, and started work on the long-anticipated Here at the Mayflower album. The album was another eclectic mix of styles, almost entirely composed and produced by Manilow himself. 2004 saw the release of both a live album, 2 Nights Live! (BMG Strategic Marketing Group, 2004), and a soundtrack album of his musicals Scores (Concord, 2004). Two Christmas albums, many live albums and compilations have rounded out a very large body of music.
Manilow appeared as a guest judge and arranged music for American Idol on April 24, 2004, the year in which he also embarked on his "One Night Live! One Last Time!" final tour. Some fans were unhappy that Manilow charged his fans $1,000 to meet him after the show, but ticket sales were robust, landing Manilow's tour into the Top Ten club for box office grosses in 2004.
Manilow co-wrote, with lyricist Bruce Sussman, a musical, Harmony, which was originally scheduled to preview in Philadelphia in 2003. After financial difficulties and a legal battle, Manilow and Sussman won back the rights to the musical. It is currently unknown when the musical is slated to reach Broadway.
On the heels of his Farewell tour, Manilow opened a standing show in Las Vegas in 2005 at the Las Vegas Hilton, where he will reside in the penthouse where Elvis lived for 8 years (Newsweek/MSNBC).
Manilow has appeared in two movies. He portrayed Tony in a 1985 made-for-television film based on Copacabana (Annette O'Toole was Lola and Joseph Bologna was Rico). He also portrayed himself in the 2002 Kathy Bates-Rupert Everett comedy Unconditional Love, in which Manilow's hit "Can't Smile Without You" plays a key role in the plot. He co-wrote the Broadway-style musical scores for the animated films Oliver & Company (1988), The Pebble and the Penguin (1995) and Thumbelina. Manilow hits have figured prominently in several films such as Foul Play and Serial Mom.
Manilow made an appearance (performing Can't Smile Without You, Mandy, I Write The Songs and songs from his latest album) on the Oprah Winfrey show on April 7, 2005.
Manilow released a new album on January 31, 2006 called The Greatest Songs of the Fifties featuring new recordings of the classic hits from the golden years. The album charted at number 1 in its first week of release, marking the first time a Manilow album debuted at the top of the album chart as well as the first time a Manilow album has reached number 1 in 29 years [1] .
Trivia
During the 1970's, Manilow dated singer Lorna Luft with whom he still maintains a strong friendship
Tom Green's character in the film Road Trip is also named Barry Manilow, after the real singer
There was a reference to Barry Manilow in The Breakfast Club. It is when the character Bender (Judd Nelson) asks the principal, "Does Barry Manilow know you raided his wardrobe?"
There is also a reference to Barry Manilow in the Canadian movie My life without me. When the daughter says: "There's no such thing as normalcy", the mother replies: "Barry Manilow is normal!"
In 1980, popular country and parody singer Ray Stevens wrote, recorded, and released a Barry Manilow parody, "I Need Your Help, Barry Manilow", sung in a similar way to Manilow's crooning style. The picture sleeve of the single is itself a parody of the cover of Barry Manilow II. The song's subject is a man who is in the midst of a series of personal crises and needs some cheering up:
I need your help, Barry Manilow
Your songs can really comfort the unlucky
Sing me a song, sing it sad and low
I wish I didn't have to feel so yucky!!!
In June 2006, the Council of Rockdale, New South Wales, Australia announced that, due to persistent teenagers revving their cars in local car parks, they would pipe Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits into one car park in Brighton-le-Sands as an experiment for six months. Deputy mayor Bill Saravinovski said the decision was taken because the youths were intimidating local people: "They are just hanging out and causing a nuisance to the general public," he told the AFP news agency."Daggy music is one way to make the hoons leave an area, because they can't stand the music," he told Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph. In 1999, the Warrawong Westfield shopping mall in Wollongong played Bing Crosby hits over and over again to drive away loitering teenagers [1] [2]
Manilow's music played a key role in the 1998 teen film Can't Hardly Wait.
I Write The Songs
Written by: Bruce Johnston
I've been alive forever, and I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music and I write the songs
I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs
My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now, when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old
Oh my music makes you dance
And gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move
Music fills your heart
Well, that's a real fine place to start
It's from me it's for you
It's from you, it's for me
It's a worldwide symphony
