for interested parties, Here is the song about which I was rambling in the previous post.
#em is posting about sharpe
#ballads and things
#this is both a fascinating variation to me and a fascinating album as a whole...
#there is music that is Not in the show in here. the version of the theme is full orchestra but contains Screams and Ouches still.
#back on point which is about this particular version of johnny has gone for a soldier.
#One I love any version of a folk song that doesn't change the pronouns to maintain the heterosexuality. thank you mr tams.
#Two I'm Interested in the position of the song in the Show as a thing that Hagman sings of course.
#new and ponderable context given that hagman is himself a soldier! and also that about half of the gendered lines are left out!
#and as fond of I am of crossdressing ballads I do enjoy a gentle Hmm at leaving out the 'dye my petticoats' verse
#and leaving in 'I'll even sell my spinning wheel / to buy my love a coat of steel'... I Am Thinking Thoughts. You Know I Am Thinking.
#and Three I am thinking about how the chorus is going to be so tricky for me because I'll want to slant 'his nets and creel are laid away'
#to rhyme with 'siúil siúil siúil a grá' and not 'til he comes back I'll rue the day' because I'm so used to having to slant things to rhyme
#for when I'm singing my preferred version of sheath and knife even though that's not how I'd Say them in my natural accent
