Subject: She Sent Me to Fetch the Mangling From: GUEST,percy@free.net.nz Date: 11 Jul 02 - 09:37 PM I want the words to this poem/song. Many of the verses ended with, "And there's another one off to America." The chorus is sung; first lines are "She sent me to fetch the mangling she sent me to fetch the beer." |

Subject: RE: She Sent Me to Fetch the Mangling From: Sorcha Date: 12 Jul 02 - 03:01 PM I found out that the title is "Here's Aonther One Off to America" and that Walt Emerson performed it, but that is all. No lyrics. |

Subject: RE: She Sent Me to Fetch the Mangling From: GUEST Date: 28 Jan 08 - 06:24 PM OK, I've had time to absorb this information. (!) And Thanks. I found an automated library reference to Walt Emerson but no information. Who was Walt Emerson? Where did he perform? I have sometimes added the tune to a set of jigs but nobody has recognised it yet. |

Subject: RE: She Sent Me to Fetch the Mangling From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Date: 28 Jan 08 - 08:33 PM The song seems to have been written by AJ Mills and G.Arthurs. Mills wrote a lot of songs, frequently in collaboration, in the early years of the last century. It was published by Francis, Day & Hunter in 1904 - there was a copy on Amazon, but no longer. Mick |

Subject: RE: She Sent Me to Fetch the Mangling From: GUEST Date: 03 Feb 08 - 05:15 PM Using the facts here I've done more searching but although I've come across some interesting things I've got no further. Where have you found the information? What sites do you go to? How do you KNOW this stuff! |

Subject: RE: She Sent Me to Fetch the Mangling From: JohnInKansas Date: 04 Feb 08 - 01:21 PM GUEST - When someone asked similarly a few months ago, a friendly member suggested This Site. [NOTE: the above is not an entirely serious reply] Google probably is the most frequently used search engine, although a few people have other favorites. One suggestion is that for old songs the best sources often are .edu and/or .org sites, nominally educational institutions and non-profits. It's fairly easy, using Google "advanced search" or by learning to write the search string to include special limits, to search only for image files, for particular kinds of files, or to limit to specific sites or kinds of sites. The Library of Congress (LOC) has extensive collections that are one of the better places to search; but the collections are sufficiently vast to almost require going there and doing a "site search," as the results for a more general search are often somewhere in the "xxx million hits found" but you can only see the first "xx thousand" of them. Some sites with excellent collections require that you appear in person to see items from the collection. This makes excellent University collections in Oklahoma and Texas where I've found very interesting lists of contents rather difficult for most people to access usefully; but knowing that a song exists, and where, sometimes can give additional info to help tailor a search to look for someone else who might have it posted. The key is to practice, practice, practice .... searching. John |

Subject: RE: She Sent Me to Fetch the Mangling From: GUEST Date: 08 Feb 08 - 04:49 PM Thank you for the help on this. I've been wandering through a lot of new (to me) territory as a result. Still haven't yet found the missing lyrics that set me going. But the journey is a pleasure. |
