The wandering ballad singer; More wide world singers

And walk the road again my boy. Walk the road. If the weather be fair I'll call my hair on the road again and Washington State University presents a wandering ballad singer Barry Tobin with songs that vividly describe the history and folklore of a pioneering country. Last time we sang songs from here and there around the world and again next time will have me going Deepak back for more international harmony. You know we found it. Try as hard as we can we never can learn all the songs we pick up from our friends in other countries. So today I'd like to sing a few songs that the wide world singers haven't been able to work out yet. But songs that may give you a flavor of some country you visited or some country you'd like to go to someday Even though will be minus the harmony of my two accomplices. The first one is from Germany a light hearted thing called holy he whole a whole

has a real romantic last verse which says When I die I don't set up a tombstone for me just plant forget me nots on my grave. Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh there's oh oh oh oh oh. Oh. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

0 0 0 0 0 0 0. Here's a real short one from Japan it's a children's song but it's got a grown up flavor of peace about it. It's called not end up all lined up tulip soldiers with Red Hat's probably the best kind of soldiers to have. That's the picture drawn of the French army here. Oh it's good to get to know a song. So hang on.

And a friend of ours from Hungary taught us this one young unbroken cold is galloping across the plains and near the end he says sure I'll marry on the thirty ninth of August. She had a good shot of the cherub Magnussen much of humanity. Here's another short one this time from the Navajos. They do a lot of writing and they make up songs to match the

rhythms of their horses they trot or gallop over the sand. An old friend of mine Mike Johnson taught me this one day on horseback. The words don't mean a thing. You're young. Old school friend of ours from Mexico City taught us this one a few years ago. It's an old Mexican folk song and probably goes way back to Spain a couple of years ago an American popular song was made in the tune. It's called KARMA KARMA. No.

Lose lose no. Back to the Orient for another short song probably the best known Korean folk song the most. Well known.

One day last summer and Amish farmer out of Fredericksburg Ohio satis down in some milking stools outside his big white barn and saying is this Pennsylvania Dutch version of the old cowboy favorite Strawberry Roan in one place where the song says his rear end was behind him and his head was up front. Mr. Copeland snob with a twinkle said yeah that's the way it should be I guess. Well here's the song minus all his valuable commentary at the end the horse is called All the usual names like slit ear and bow legged and as an afterthought the tag or net loam but not lame. In the garden job God just google his buns off my abundantly xians now as

he ha been Glenn a Bronco as he can get right out of the air is bizarre. By the looks on our fun Diana Bronco is a spice Brown sorrel. And there is a young Leonard unleashed. There is no good stuff. I'm gonna. I'm gonna grab them and no saddle up is off the hook by going to get

jumped on me get back with the bots the business is as far as not from. Rome. The whole book really been healthy he digs the long hair he groomed. Loam. Here's a little song from Turkey called I'm an object. It's simply a deer running away from a hunter. Finally the hunter catches up. You guessed it. Another love song. Boy am I been.

Bored and I'll give over much more. Modem up your motor. And. This is an appropriate one for the end. A song of disappointed love called they were good. Not.

Yet. As true oh I wasn't Das Hot Hide me. He was in a me a.

Ah news good. Not yet. Yes. That's about all for this time. See you next time and I'll walk the road again my boy is Ottawa good road. Going to.
