The Lion "Sucoyen"

Iona, you too young to fly sucoyen
Iona, you too young to fly sucoyen
Don;t you realize it's a capital sin
To be doing nothing else but only changing your skin
Yourself and Leihu, one sucoyen, one lagahou

Thie part of the story, friends, you it would amuse
But believe me, that night it had me confused
They had a black coffing in the center of the road
Around it were snakes, morocoy an' tadpole
The sucoyen spake as she sprinkle some san'
She said, "Dis cure destroy you" in a lagahou slang
Iona, Leihu, one sucoyen, one lagahou

Something they did that night, friends, it is no lie
I wish I had wings that night for to fly
One were dancing and singing, "Ti-bango le-i-ye"
The other are saying "Moko hali la-ive
Toto koka loye baso," to change their skin
To put it back they said, "Kin, kin danikin"
Iona, Leihu, one sucoyen, one lagahou

Standing and shivering, I stood gazing
While the sucoyen continued with her mad dancing
Dancing about in a mad career
And she used basodee youko iku yai
Friends, and she get up and she start to fly
Iona, Leihu, one sucoyen, one lagahou.

------------------------------------------

Sucoyen - a witch who removes her skin, places it under a stone
and turns into a ball of fitre flying through the night and
sucking blood from sleeping humans and animals

Lagahou is another name for the loup-garou (werewolf)

Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Via Wikipedia...

Rara is a form of festival music that originated in Haïti, that is used for street processions, typically during Easter Week. The music centers on a set of cylindrical bamboo trumpets called vaksen (which may also be made of metal pipes), but also features drums, maracas, güiras or güiros (a percussion instrument), and metal bells, as well as sometimes also cylindrical metal trumpets which are made from recycled metal, often coffee cans. The vaksen-s perform repeating patterns in hocket and often strike their instruments rhythmically with a stick while blowing into them. In the modern day, standard trumpets and saxophones may also be used. The genre though predominantly Afro-based has some Taino Amerindian elements to it such as the use of güiros and maracas.

Avatar 9:21am ausmanx:

"Chlorodyne was the name for one of the most famous patent medicines sold in the British Isles. It was invented in the 19th century by a Dr. John Collis Browne, a doctor in the British Indian Army; its original purpose was in the treatment of cholera. As its principal ingredients were a mixture of laudanum (an alcoholic solution of opium), tincture of cannabis, and chloroform, it readily lived up to its claims of relieving pain."

Avatar 9:53am northguineahills:

@Doug: John Tilbury did the same. I emailed him to tell him the people that supported W would have no clue who he was anyways, and said boycott just hurt the people who opposed W here in the States. (It was a more nuanced email, but that's the gist)

Proofing a college-level Amer History text. Book devotes more than the usual amount of space of such books in its WWII chapter to the anti-Mexican violence usu known as the Zoot Suit Riots. Kudos to this book.

(usu amount of space in such books, at least during my college years = none)

glenn, some years back to make sure that Ron Sexsmith had no way out of performing ' Ships Go Out ' at a tiny venue near us, I printed the lyrics out and handed them to him. I wonder if Iris Dement contribution is Doug's favourite ?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Message deleted, Evan. And by that, I mean message, what message?!
Avatar 11:17am Evan in NC:

I have no idea what any of you are talking about. Loving the music, though.
Avatar 11:19am glenn:

don't be jealous, but i saw ron and iris perform "that's how i got to memphis" as a duet about ten years ago.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:21am Brian in UK:

Still waiting to see Iris. Wrote to her, no reply.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:22am Doug Schulkind:

My wife is out of town. Left for NYC on the morning train. I first fell in love with Iris' music, seeing her in NYC when, yes, my wife was out of town. This was when she was touring with her new Warner Bros. record My Life. I am still in love.
  11:26am Paul Sherratt:

glenn,

Don't be jealous but Ron gave us a personal performance of 'Galbraith St ' at 7am in Barcelona airport after he'd missed his gig the evening before...






Actually that bit about singing is completely untrue. And yes I am fully of envy of the Iris/Ron duet!

You're making up that "gree-aht" pronunciation.

That's surely how Pittsburghers would pronounce it. Gree-aht. Funny!
