Water Boy
In the United States, a water boy or water girl (sometimes spelled waterboy or watergirl) was someone who worked in the field, providing water to farmworkers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, the name is given to those who work on the sidelines at sports events to provide water for athletes. The phrase has also been used to describe diminutive figures who serve another team or person in the business and political worlds, in a slightly derogatory manner (ex. "Bill is the CEO's water boy"). The position has a long history in athletics. In the 1869 Princeton vs. Rutgers football game, one of the earliest American football games, an unnamed water boy was documented giving aid to a Rutgers player. Several notable people served as water boys, among which being President Herbert Hoover, who was the Stanford Cardinal football's first water boy. History Although the term in modern American usage is now associated with sports, traditionally a water boy was a boy employed in fa ...

Waterboy (song)
"Waterboy" (a.k.a. "The Water Boy") is an American traditional folk song. It is built on the call "Water boy, where are you hidin'?" The call is one of several water boy calls in cotton plantation folk tradition. Numerous artists have written and/or recorded their own versions of this African-American traditional song, including Jacques Wolfe, a Romanian immigrant, and Avery Robinson who popularized "Water Boy" as a jazz song in the 1920s. From 1949 onwards, many blues and folk artists have performed their own arrangements of it. The opening call to the "water boy" has been said to bear a resemblance to melodies found in classical works by Cui, Tchaikovsky, and Liszt, as well as a Jewish marriage song and a Native American tune. The first melody of the subsequent refrain is similar to the old German tune "Mendebras," used for the hymn "Oh Day of Rest and Gladness." Versions * Roland Hayes (1922): Arranged by Avery Robinson; see sheet music for the song. *Fats Waller - ''F ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
