Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I didn't know that until a couple of years ago. I was watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and nearly fell off my seat when the tune to The Hearts Song came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 It's a melody comprised of bits from 'sweet betsy from pike, the hymn 'blessed assurance' and 'the hippo-potamus song'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersreid Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 theres also an old cowboy film where the locals are singing in the church and the song is also to the Hearts tune.....maybe buffalo bill heard it before his 1902 trip around europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreigC1 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The musical notation of "stranger in cork" doesn't fit the tune of the hearts song as far as i can see. It has a similar rhythymic pattern but doesnt appear to have the same melody line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 It's parts of 3 or possibly 4 songs combined not just a single tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 theres also an old cowboy film where the locals are singing in the church and the song is also to the Hearts tune.....maybe buffalo bill heard it before his 1902 trip around europe The most bizarre rendition is in the film Night Passage when James Stewart plays the tune on an accordion.

jamboinglasgow Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I remember hearing an episode of Round the Horne, where Kenneth Williams sings the old folk verson with added words that sound dirty but aren't, "he scrangled his warblers."

Suspect Device Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The tune for the Hearts song is shared by this folk song! http://www.folkinfo.org/songs/displaysong.php?songid=611 sorry if it has been mentioned before. was in Bairds Bar one 17th March it could well have been this song that came on the jukebox, when the corus started you could easilytell the Hearts fans that were there to see SLF (some hibbys too) the song / tune is also in the film Oliver, just as we first meet Bill Sykes and Bulldog - they are walking over the river/wooden boards to the pub and everyone is belting out the 'Hearts Song' and dancing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
