Thread Name: songs about vampires?
Subject: RE: songs about vampires?
Dear Jen:

Since you've spent time looking through the digital tradition I'm just posting the titles of the songs I have with supernatural themes as you may have already found some of these. If you want any of them just e-mail me at: radriano@consrv.ca.gov

The Drowned Lovers (trad-about witches)
The Ghostly Crew (trad sea song about ghosts)
The Holland Handkerchief (another ghost song)
Mister Fox (A song by John Pole. Not sure what supernatural being this represents. Last line is "his teeth flashed white and his eyes burnt red - could be a vampire)
Sir Aldinger (trad ballad involving magic)
Song of the Ghost (Fanny Power) - another ghost song
The Two Magicians (trad about, you guessed it, two magicians
The Water Lily (song about the spirit of a dead child appearing in its mother's dream)
Witch of the Westmerlands (yep, it's about a witch)

Apparently the words to "All on the Mountains High" didn't make it into my songbooks yet. Check out Sandy Paton's previous entry for leads on that.

Regards,
radriano
