jehill Lyr Req: Tavistock Goosey Fair (C. John Trythall) (38) RE: Tavistock Goosey Fair 03 Jun 98

If you are after a recording of this song it is on one of the several Cd's and tapes by Dave Webber and Annie Fentiman. They performed this song last Friday at Burton on Trent Folk Club.
Dave recently performed this for an audience of about 300 Americans when they were over the other side of the pond. It seems that the Americans had trouble understanding the concept of driving geese to a fair to sell them, especially the idea of painting tar on their feet so they didn't get sore.
One came up to Dave and said "You mean you have goose-pokes in England?"

Regards John
