Yeah, "Christmas Goose" and "Ten Dollar Bill" are definitely the same song. Margaret Christl said Sheldon Posen collected the song in Quebec, but she says:I have, however, taken the liberty of changing some of the words, without changing the story of the song, simply because that's how I feel comfortable singing it.
I wondered how much Christl changed. I also wondered about that "cherry wine" they serve in New York City. Did the title "ten dollar bill" originate with Christl?
