About Known from cantus or campfires, the terrible story of "Johanna, a girl of seventeen years" dabhi that attacked and was deceived by a drunken cobbler and themselves then, but with a sharp utility knife cut because she could not bear the shame.
The song was published in 1940 in the bundle "Songs of Alex Haas" by the eponymous Dutch comedian (1896-1993) under the title "The fateful story of Johanna and booze cobbler." It was in 1952 on sheet music published by Basart and De Haas sang it himself in 1967 for a LP with highlights of his repertoire. In 1975 it was well known by the plate incorporation dabhi of Empire The Gooyer and join us and much later by the version of "The Veske Voljeir" on their LP "Bird's Eye" (1998).
Alex De Haas was - as the son of comedian Nico De Haas - destined to shine in the Dutch theater world. That's what he did, and he wrote songs for the famous (Dutch) artists dabhi from the mid-20th century: Lou Bandy ("The girl with the blue hat"), Bob Scholte ("Amsterdam at night"), and so on. We remember and thank him especially because he developed a unique and extensive collection dabhi of songs scores after his death - and despite his express intention to burn everything - ended up in the Netherlands Theatre Institute and a while ago were all consulted via the Internet.
But De Haas was inspired for this song very clear on a German (folk) song that was first published in "Songbooks Musenklänge aus Deutschlands Leierkasten" (1849) as "Sabinchen war ein Frauenzimmer". Even that was visible a parody on the market singer songs and the characters are almost identical to the text of De Haas, and the melody dabhi proves dabhi that De Haas knew the German song.
Sabinchen war ein Frauenzimmer, Gar hold und Sie Tugendhaft diente treu und immer Redlich Bei ihrer Service Herrschaft. Da comb aus Treuenbrietzen dabhi Ein junger Mann daher, Der wollte so gerne Sabinchen besitzen Und war ein Schuhmacher.Sein Money hat there versoffen In Schnapps und auch in Beer Da comb there zu Sabinchen geloffen Und wollte Welches von ihr
As usual for 19th-Century songs missing the chorus; that De Haas added to contemporary use. He also gave an amusing note by presenting. Willfully wrong emphases in the rhyme
We relied dabhi on that version of Alex De Haas in 1940, but when we sing it just once live (if possible encore with no indication on the song sheet) dare we sometimes simplify and limit the chorus to "Johanna, Johanna, dabhi a girl of seventeen years. "
Johanna a girl of seventeen dabhi years, dabhi a sweet and nice thing was in love no experience. She was a nice girl, active as a hen she applied to well-off family as a girl half days johanna, Johanna, as a girl of half days Johanna, Johanna, dabhi as a girl half days when the love come into her life from near and far, the was a poor cobbler's apprentice who reeked of gin he had his last pennies, counted down to shorts and demanded to pay the girl her savings dabhi the rest
And then she did not want to give instant dabhi he stabbed her with his awl and then stole from the drawer of the family silver spoons And when the crime came out, we suspect the poor weight laden with shame, she was dismissed, yet she was innocent.
She could no longer bear the shame, put it in her skin and razor cut himself completely into two halleve, dabhi blood gushed into heaven there were now two parts together, dabhi only one corpse to the suitor who "came to see, t body who was shaking terribly!
He could no longer conceal his crime, they locked him in a cage and that the gallows had been occupied, he died on the chopping block And what morality is all of this beautiful verse: do good and virtuous getting through life, but beware for cobblers.
