It's a shame that music like this is only found on RUclips. Thanks for posting this.
The Weaver's brought tons of joy. Rest in peace guys! And thanks for the music!
the first time I've ever seen the Weavers live ... they were well represented in our old 78rpm record collection
how could anyone not like this music

Just heard of Ronnie's passing on the radio.God speed dearest soul,give big hugs to Lee & Pete for us fans! The music in heaven just got a little more sweeter.............
Watching this makes me realize how much I miss the gentler times. Going on 70 now and will soon be joining my own Irene and its songs and sounds like these fine folks made that keep my memories and dreams alive. We will all have a great sing-a-long one day.
Ronnie's superb contralto gives me total chills & moist eyes. Wonderful.
Wonderful! So many songs I remember from childhood. Grew up in the 50's thinking that folk songs are for children and classical for adults! As a mother I searched out and found Woody Guthrie's songs for children. What a joy to hear these now!
Hello Elinore, How are you doing?
Pete Seeger was born on 3 May 1919, would have been 101 a couple of days ago. It was great to see Pete at his best showing great spacial awareness as he moves the banjo up and around Lee's head several times in this song without hitting him.
This wonderful music makes me think of my Dad....I grew up hearing these songs.
Ronnie Gilbert....so beautiful. And that gorgeous voice.
Hello Kathy, How are you doing?
RIP Pete Seeger and Fred Hugherman, Fred passed in 2016 and Pete in 2014 for those who don’t know. Edit also RIP Lee Hays, and Ronnie Gilbert. Lee died in 1981 and Ronnie in 2015. The weavers will forever Rest In Peace as an amazing musical group.
Ronnie Gilbert and Holly Near often concertized here in Berkeley,CA and Ronnie was a Berkeley fixture in anti Vietnam protests down through the years. The audio of these great
folk songs can be found on CD. Pete Seeger was my idol from the time I was 3. RIP Pete. Lee Hayes & Fred Kellerman were also incredible song writers. Check out the music of the Weavers. I continue to teach it in Sing Thing Family Singing in Berkeley and Oakland.
"If you can exist, and stay the course -- not a course of blind obstinacy and faulty conception -- but one of decency and good sense, you can outlast your enemies with your honor and integrity intact," Fred Hellerman of the Weavers.
I was not familiar with their music before. But now... thanks for 15 minutes of joy in my day. I'm going to explore more from this special group.
Wonderful music of happiness! Thank you. ♥️
Although all gone now, their music lives on for them-- will never forget them!
Ronnie’s voice has captivated me from my childhood on...
Ah Ronnie, what a voice. We miss you.
When I was a little girl my mom used to play this record for us as we were lying down to sleep for the night. But I don't remember any Hebrew songs. This is great! What a treat! I visited Israel later in life as a young adult. So I am thrilled to hear this now!
Hello Cathy, How are you doing?
Fred Hellerman -- the last of the Weavers -- died yesterday. I was proud to have known him.
Who are the 32 idiots who voted this down? Must be Reaganites who voted for Trump last year.
@@rayjr62 Pity these are these threads are despoiled by bigoted morons like you who (i) think they are somewhat superior because their cultural tastes are difference and (ii) bring their obsessive politics in everything.
The "32 idiots" you refer to are probably culturally open-minded younger people who viewed this for the first time and decided the music was not according to their tastes. Your reaction is akin to the attitudes of those who blacklisted the Weavers.
Also, "Reaganites who voted for Trump" would be well aware of The Weavers before watching this and would do so with an open attitude out of appreciation for their music irrespective of their politics unlike you with your narrow brainwashed mind and would therefore hardly vote down music they specifically tuned in to.
@@rayjr62 as the saying goes....you can please most of the people, some of the time, and some, most of time, but not all the people, all of the time...
@@rayjr62 ez.....there....life is this way.....get used to it...
@@andybeckman8606 thank you....
Great film and music and Pete Seeger.
Wonderful
From the release of Good Night Irene with the Gordon Jenkens Orchestra in Europe about 1949 / 1950 I am a fan of The Weavers. Still unbeaten in American Folk.
The great Weavers, one more reason to love RUclips!
Music - truly one of Gds ultimate creations!!!
Wow - these brought tears of memory! Many thanks for osting them.
RIP indeed. A beautiful voice, a beautiful soul, a man to be remembered and celebrated throughout all time.
amazing that after 60 plus years this music still resounds...
another beautiful voice gone silent
RIP Pete
What a wonderful singing group. I caught a video of their last performance; it really brought back memories thanks to this group of talented singers and players.
They're all gone now as of 6/6/2015. Rest in Peace, Ronnie Gilbert.
dnpyles Fred Hellerman is still with us.
Tom Dooley Thanks, Tom, for letting me know that.
My little girl was named Irene thanks to Ronnie.
Great video.
Woweeee....fantastic stuff.
Fred Hellerman (May 13, 1927)
Pete Seeger. (May 3, 1919 - January 27, 2014), The Weavers.
Ronnie Gilbert. (September 7, 1926 - June 6, 2015), The Weavers.
Lee Hays. (March 14, 1914 - August 26, 1981), The Weavers.
Years ago I used too make fun of my dad for this music...after the years i have learned a new appreciation for this music and have come to love it!
Ronnie Gilbert was such a pretty lady and such a beautiful voice. This music was long before my time but it makes me smile today.
RIP, Pete Seeger, an uncompromising artist and voice never concerned with fads and trends but simply guided by a singular drive to address his cultural and political passions.
so long, pete. It was good to know you. Very good.
We mainly remember the Weavers for their singing. But Fred and Pete sure could pick.
Saw Ronnie in concert with Holly Near many years ago what a voice! What a great lady
you remember well, it is true
Long live The Weavers. May the blacklisters and redbaiters who tormented them for so many years listen quietly forever...for the music defeated hatred, fear, and lies.
Today the blacklisters and haters are the democratic party. BLM, the media, academia, LGBQT bigots. Does that work better for you Kenn?
Great film remarkable. Treasure
We'll miss you, Pete! Gone at 94 a life well lived!
Liane Jagger happy he is not here to see what has become of the world. God bless you and your memory
‘Where has all the honesty gone?’
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY, PETE!! Hear those angels singin to you today. 💚🎵🎶
R.I.P. Fred Hellerman
Blacklisted. Can you believe it. Love you, Pete. What an amazing man.
yes, they were open communists
D Simonson can you believe the following that Sen. McCarthy got? Eisenhower never approved of him, but it took years for the Senate to censure him. America usually does the right thing- eventually. Pete never caved in to that S.O.B.
Thank you.
The Weavers were the greatest. The precusors to such folk groups as the Kingston Trio, Peter Paul and Mary, and many more. They sang great songs and they did it with a social conscience. Sadly they are all gone. RIP
A great treasure!! Thank you for posting!!!
GREAT memories, half a century later; brought tears to my happy eyes!
Une époque bénie!!!
never seen before film of the weavers a group of great singers inc pete seegers .this will go on my timeline.
love the weavers and their style of folk singing. i'm 62 and enjoy hearing many of these groups.it was said that lee hays could be a hard person to work for. you can see this in his eye and facial movements towards the others with him.
Nice music, nice sound, nice video.
I can't say anything because of so happy, and so much thanks for the uploading.
souvenenir de mon enfance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!mes parents aimaient beaucoup chaque soir on me faisait écouter pour dormir ;; j'étais rassurée merci ..
I had their album "Folk Songs Around the World" and played it to death. I love folk music with harmony. (That also explains my love of the Seekers). Never saw them perform live, but in these films and on my record album there was no mention of politics. What they do in their private life is their business--and I did not agree with their politics--but as with all other performers, as long as they don't bring it into their performance, I don't care. All I want to hear is beautiful music--and that they did produce. RIP to all of them.
I do agree with their politics and love them for it. Many of their songs were socialist and labor songs.
"Pete, you outlasted the bastards, man!" Bruce Springsteen
historic film to see these brilliant folk
Pete Seeger was one of America's most respected citizens. RIP Pete, God bless.
respected? he was despised. If you'd said he one on the U'S'A most marvellous singer/ songwriters, then I would agree.
@@peternicholson233 Despised by whom, Wall St.. the Pentagon?
@@peternicholson233 he used his music to promote his views.....sounds like freedom, of speech, to me...
@@philipbuckley759 Doesn't change the fact that Weavers concerts were rallied against by anti-communists, and Seeger was blacklisted until 1967.
Rest in Peace, Ronnie. We'll miss you at the Redwoods!
Love this slice of our history THANKS WEAVERS COOL, excellent Outstanding
Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow!!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I can't believe how many songs Pete Seeger wrote and popularized. He amazes me.
Muito bom. Belo grupo. Belas vozes. 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍❤❤❤
It was great watching The Rovers in their prime again! With my iPhone I was able to transfer the song fast to my Apple TV and watch the group on large screen TV! Sy Adelman
Great music picking singing . I Appreciate.
I'll never forget seeing her at the Bitter End in New York in the early 60s. I can't think of any folk singer with as haunting renditions of songs as hers. Thank God for what she left behind.
Great
❤❤❤❤
Dear Lord,
I am amazed I have never seen these videos. I will post them to my FB page. Many thanks for all the Weavers posts. I went to see one of the two final performances at Carnegie Hall. My regret is not having gotten tickets to both. One was filmed for the film Wasn't That a Time that is on PBS now and again,
Peter Schleger
Its a pleasure to listen.
She still is! And still singing!

Can't you hear the music playing
In the city square
Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena
Come where all our friends will find us
With the dancers there
Tzena, Tzena join the celebration
There'll be people there from every nation
Dawn will find us laughing in the sunlight
Dancing in the city square
Tzena, Tzena, come and dance the Hora
One, two, three, four
All the boys will envy me for
Tzena, Tzena, when the band is playing
My heart's saying
Tzena, Tzena, Tzena
…………………………………………………………………introduction
Friends, if you’ve been dancing to this song,
the last year, you’d like to know maybe that it came to us form the new land of Israel.
We’re singin’ now not only those new English words,
that we made up for that record with Gordon Jenkins,
but also,
the original Hebrew words of this song that was written for lots of people to sing and dance together.

2.Around the world
…………………………………………………………………introduction
We’re gonna take a musical trip around the world.
Stopping off in four different countries and picking up
and singing and playing a different dance tune from each one without skipping a beat.
Wherever we go, people singing and dancing together and the most perfect,
neighborly harmonies and rhythms.
Now, the first foreign country we’re gonna visit is the state of Arkansas.
Where the people kick up their heels,
And the banjo kicks up the dust,
and the music is called “floppy eared mule.”
…………………………………………………………………introduction
Chicken in a bread pen, pickin’ hot dough,
grab your gal and doesy doe,
duck for the ice but leap for the clam,
slide right through to the promised land.
Well, if you went over to Europe, they might not call it a hoe down,
but it’s still has the same rhythm.
A little bit of polka and a little soul, something like that.
Hey! Hey!
Down in the new land of Israel,
They wouldn’t call it a Polka,
It would be a little circle dance called the Hora.

Comin’ back across the ocean, down in the West Indies,
A little song called “Hey liley liley liley”
Hey liley liley lo
Hey liley liley liley
Hey liley liley lo
Married man will keep your secret,
Hey liley liley lo
single boy will talk about you
Hey liley liley lo
Hey liley liley liley
Hey liley liley lo
Hey liley liley liley
Hey liley liley lo
Well all the girls just love me so

‘Cause I don’t tell everything I know
Hey liley liley lo
Hey liley liley liley
Hey liley liley lo
Hey liley liley liley

Sing this song in every land,
dance together hand in hand

3.So long
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
What a long time since I've been home
And I've gotta be driftin' along
I've sung this song, but I'll sing it again
Of the people I've met and the places I've seen
Some of the troubles that bothered my mind
And a lot of good people that I've left behind, singing
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
What a long time since I've been home
And I've gotta be driftin' along
The sweethearts they sat in the dark and they sparked
They hugged and they kissed in that dusty old dark
They sighed and they cried and they hugged and they kissed
But instead of marriage they talked like this: honey
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
What a long time since I've been home
And I've gotta be driftin' along
I went to your family and asked them for you
They all said take her, oh take please do
She can't cook or so and she won't scrub your floor
So I put on my coat, tip toed down the door, singing
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
What a long time since I've been home
And I've gotta be driftin' along
I went down the street to the grocery store
It was crowded with people both rich and both poor
I asked the man how his butter was sold
He said one pound of butter for two pounds of gold, I said
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
What a long time since I've been home
And I've gotta be driftin' along
Well the telephone rang and it jumped off the wall
That was the preacher he was makin' his call
He said, "we're waiting to tie the knot
You're getting married believe it or not"
The church was jammed and the church it was packed
The pews were crowded from the front to the back
A thousand friends waited to kiss my new bride
But I was so anxious I rushed her outside, told her
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
What a long time since I've been home
And I've gotta be driftin' along
4.Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
…………………………………………………………………introduction
We learned this song ‘Irene’ from a friend of ours, whose name was: Huddie Ledbetter.
He called himself ‘Leadbelly’, king of the twelve string guitar.
Some people thought he was the greatest folk singer that ever lived in America.
We know him the best as the rememberer of folk songs and he taught us dozens of them.
Especially ‘Irene’, this was his theme song and he sang it for over 30 years before he died.
Well he died before ‘Irene’ got to be known to so many millions of Americans.
Huddie had a hard wonderful life, it’s over now, but his songs are still very much alive.
…………………………………………………………………introduction
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
Last saturday night,I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown
Irene goodnight,Irene goodnight
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
Sometimes I live in the country,
Sometimes I live in town,
Sometimes I take a great notion,
To jump into the river and drown,
well,Irene goodnight,Irene goodnight
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
Stop rambling,stop your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and your family
Stay down by your fireside bright
Irene goodnight,Irene goodnight
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
goodnight Irene,goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dream
5.Roving kind
She had a dark and a roving eye
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
She was a nice girl, a proper girl
But one of the roving kind.
You know, sailors like to sing about ships, like to sing about women.
Sometimes, they get a mixed-up, to sing about both same time.
Now, as I cruised out one evening upon a night's career
I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer
I heisted out my sig-a-nals, which she so quickly knew
And when she saw me smiling her, she immediately hove too-oo-oo.
She had a dark and a roving eye
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
She was a nice girl, a proper girl
But one of the roving kind.
"Oh, pardon me" she says to me "for being out so late
But if my parents heard of this then, sad would be my fate
My father is in politics a good and righteous man
my mother is an acrobat, I do the best I can.
She had a dark and a roving eye
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
She was a nice girl, a proper girl
But one of the roving kind.
Well, I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine
Hardly did I realize she was the rovin' kind
Well, I kissed her lips, I missed her lips and found to my surprise
She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in a disguise.
She had a dark and a roving eye
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
She was a nice girl, a proper girl
But one of the roving kind.
So come all you good sailor men who sail the wintry sea
Come all you apprentice lads, a warning take from me
Beware of lofty clipper ships, they'll be the ruin of you
For it was there she made me walk the plank and pushed me under too-hoo-hoo.
She had a dark and a roving eye
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
She was a nice girl, a proper girl
But one of the roving kind.
What a wonderful collection. It's one of my fondest memories to have met Pete, and actually spent an afternoon with him in a very small group at the Beacon Sloop Club in December 2001.
One could not get to know Pete, and then not like him, no matter what your politics.
Now this is good, wholesome music..thanks Pete and all the group! d
Have anyone noticed that they are not using mics, at least not right in their faces. they could sing in those days.
Wow! This is from the year before I was born. Were there dinosaurs wandering the earth then?
I grew up with Weavers music, always outraged at their blacklisting. Paul Robeson was another one.
Thanks so much for sharing! I grew up on my parents' Weavers records but had never gotten to see recordings of their performances from back in the day. Truly a treat for eyes and ears.
fantastic group
Wonderful collection!! Thanx for posting.
Leadbelly R.I.P
outstanding group!
I'm looking at the guitar that Fred is playing here....a friend had it put away for over 50 years...
So long it's been good to know ya!
I was luky to watch them here in the Bet Haam in Kiriat Haim

@peterschleger I can do but thank you for bringing on The Weavers' magic that, even after 60 years, is very much alive.
Thanks so much, Carlo.
love the way they change tempo so easily
ferking absolutely brilliant
great song!!!!!
Lee was from Arkansas, bunghole boy. So am I. We're entitled to call it a foreign country if we want :P
Ronnie Gilbert, you're amazing!
good music, i lake the folk,
Thank you
The underrated Ronnie Gilbert was by far the Weavers best singer, for example her outstanding vocals on "The Roving Kind".
I now see where Artists like Peter, Paul and Mary, and The Seekers evolved from.
this is a great video the only sad thing about it there all dead

Wasn't that a time...
