Fun Trivia : Quizzes : R : The Songs of Stan Rogers

Introduction:
"Nearly twenty years after his death, Stan Rogers' music is still remembered. He was, and is, a 'giant' in Canadian folk music."


1. An easy one to start. Complete the lyric: "So here I lay in my twenty-third year..."
    I'll be twenty-four soon
    I'll chase no more Yankees
    The "Antelope" sloop was a sickening sight
    How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!


2. "Now her smile lights her eyes, but..."
    it will turn to tears
    I must turn away
    honey, all I see is you
    it's not for me


3. What song are these lines from? "In the taverns of Edmonton, fisherman shout 'Haul it away! Haul it away!'"
    Tiny Fish for Japan
    Make and Break Harbour
    Free in the Harbour
    The Idiot


4. "Watch the field behind the plow ..."
    the grain will come up soon
    turn to straight dark rows
    open up to the rain
    and try to go straight


5. "The _________ will rise with the moon"
    blood
    giant
    fever
    sea


6. "And the young folks don't stay with the fisherman's way..."
    they've all gone down the road
    long ago they all moved to the city
    they think that they know better
    they're wearing suits and ties


7. What song are these lines from? "To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea..."
    Northwest Passage
    The Flowers of Bermuda
    The Last Watch
    The Jeannie C.


8. "But I told that kid a hundred times..."
    how much I cared
    slow down you're going too fast
    don't take the lakes for granted
    someday you'll regret it


9. "He was star of all the rodeos ..."
    but always lost at cards
    but now he's old and tired
    but now they rob him blind
    and star in all their hearts


10. "Rise again, rise again, though..."
    your heart it be broken
    you think that it's over
    you feel that you're beat
    all seems lost


11. This song is a dialogue between one who stays at home, and one who travels far. Eric Bogle covered it on his "When the Wind Blows" album, of 1985.
    Canol Road
    Half of a Heart
    You Can't Stay Here
    Lock-Keeper


12. "You brought the field all standing with your courage and your..."
    guts
    luck
    style
    grace


13. "But the kids all said the nursing home was best 'cause he couldn't live alone..."
    now that his wife is gone
    first Christmas away from home
    he'll be dead soon anyway
    hello in there


14. "And sometimes it felt so wrong to never..."
    see you again
    give you what you want
    want to lean on you
    play along


15. "'Remember the Boyne' they will cry out in vain..."
    for I have no ears to hear
    but I no longer care
    for I'm not listening
    for I've given my heart to the place I was born
