Talk:Country Gardens

Lyrics?

Were the lyrics traditional too, or were they written by Grainger? Valetude (talk) 13:34, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Not traditional. There are many sets of lyrics, ranging from sentimental to scabrous! You can find lots of threads about this on the Mudcat Cafe site, e.g. https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=1006#3073. The best-known straight lyrics are by Jimmy Rodgers, written for his 1962 pop recording. There are videos available on YouTube, with the full lyrics in the comments--they are also available on sites such as lyrics.com (https://www.lyrics.com/lyric/2144546/Jimmie+F.+Rodgers/English+Country+Garden). The original tune collected by Sharpe & popularized by Grainger was just a dance tune without lyrics. Perhaps some of this info should go in the section Popular versions and parodies, since that version achieved considerable notability in 1962? D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 16:34, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Louis Schindelmeisser

A version of the tune appears in a sinfonia concertante by the German composer Louis Schindelmeisser (1811-1864). Was it current in Germany, too, or might Schindelmeisser have picked it up from some UK source? Paulwilliam2 (talk) 21:43, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
