GUEST,karres@pipers-hut.com Songs of the 1919 Flu Pandemic (34) Lyr Req: Song about the Flu Pandemic of 1900's 13 Jan 04


Hi,

In the Mid-90's I visited the North Texas Irish Festival. I heard a song there that has recently come back to haunt me. Unfortunately I don't remember more than a few words of the choraus and the general melody and theme. What I do remember went something like:

The Great Flu Pandemic it swept the whole world wide
20 million of them got it and they died, died died
Whether standing in the trenches or lying in their beds
20 million of them got it and they're dead


Ok, whoever the band was would sing a verse then the chorus and then vamp a bit on a recognizable deathe-associated tune, like taps or the death march or whatever.

Does anyone have all the words for this song?

Dean...K...
