History (Takahashi Yujiro):
| "Akita Horse-dealer's Song". In the north until recently, men led strings of horses to or from distant horse-markets travelling through the night. As with "Nambu Ushoioi Uta", a song could ease the stress on both man and beast. At the markets, the horsemen exchanged songs like these, eventually creating local and individual variants. Keep moving, ponies, hurry along, Brownie: the sun is setting in the western mountains. It's lonely being a horseman, all alone on the road at night, with nothing but the sound of the bridle behind you. |
