Thread Name: Dead comrades in traditional song
Subject: RE: Dead comrades in traditional song
Some great songs. To reiterate, what I'm really interested in are traditional songs about someone who's been killed, in the voice of a surviving friend: like the 'poacher's fate' songs, or MacCrimmon's Lament. The Border Widow's Lament isn't far off, although if possible I'd prefer songs sung by a man about a friend.
