Recordings
One of the earliest recorded versions is by Joan Baez, who included a live performance of the song on her first live album in 1962. The Baez version makes it clear that Geordie's crime was poaching the King's deer, for which the penalty was hanging with a silken rope. It has also been recorded by Ewan MacColl, John Jacob Niles, Doc... (continuer)

Farewell To Sicily

Farewell To Sicily
[1944]
Lyrics by Hamish Henderson
Music by Pipe Major James Robertson of Banff

Testo di Hamish Henderson
Musica del comandante della banda scozzese James Robertson di Banff

Una canzone scozzese, e scritta nel più stretto e ostico dialetto delle Highlands, dedicata...alla Sicilia? In guerra può succedere anche questo. Nel 1943, dopo lo sbarco alleato, il 51° reggimento di fanteria delle Highlands, proveniente dall'Africa Settentrionale, viene messo di stanza in Sicilia, con comando nella località di Tremestieri, presso Messina in direzione di Taormina. Ne fa parte anche il capitano Hamish Henderson, che nella vita civile fa il folklorista e lo scrittore di canzoni. Uno dei maggiori della sua terra. Nel 1944, quando il reggimento viene spostato e deve abbandonare la Sicilia, Henderson scrive una canzone facendola musicare al comandante ("Pipe Major", ovvero "Cornamusa maggiore") della...

Ballad Of The Unknown Soldier

Ballad Of The Unknown Soldier
[1969?]
Lyrics and music by Rod Shearman
Testo e musica di Rod Shearman

"The song is called "The Ballad of the Unknown Soldier." I
don't know whether anyone other than Barbara Dane sang it in the U.S.back in those days. Barbara recorded it on Paredon's "What Now People?" Vol. 1. some time in the early seventies. (She first got the song from Peggy Seeger who sent it to her in 1969.) The author, Rod Shearman, is English. Shearman wrote it after seeing a brief item in the Manchester Guardian about an American GI, dressed in sandals and black pajamas, who was found dead behind "enemy" lines. (There had been a number of other stories in the New York Times and other places about GIs who "went over to the other side" in Vietnam. One had to do with a team known as Salt and Pepper -- a Black GI and a white GI, and another solder called Porkchop, who also fought alongside the Vietnamese. Jack Warshaw,... (continuer)
