Dead Horse - you're right, there's more than one ghost verse, although according to the CD notes of "Stormy Weather" the verse runs:
So away we go and the ghost did steer,
And the cook drank the dregs of the Old man's beer...
I also have a tape that my friend Chez Watts of Bristol recorded for me with less adulterated words; maybe I ought to did around in the drawer for that. The mind moves slow in this dark season.
