This is all I found. You could order the CD, and it 'says' it's a 'pop/rock' CD. In spite of the blurb saying 'folk', banjo, fiddle, etc. Sorry I'm no help.

here is the Duhks web site http://www.duhks.com/
and here is their page on their record label site
http://www.sugarhillrecords.com/bio.asp?idArtist=55
this song is by Shawn Byrne and Chuck McCarthy
and it goes like this:

(Mamma's Gonna Bargain with the) Ol' Cook Pot
(Shawn Byrne and Chuck McCarthy)

Mama gonna bargain with the ol' cookpot
Try to get more than what that bowler got
Don't trim no fat, pulls potatoes from a box
Mama gonna bargain with the ol' cookpot

Mama gonna water that gravy down
Got to make enough to go around
With five mouths to feed and Papa in the ground
Mama gonna water that gravy down

Well, thank the Lord and sit up straight
Mind your manners and clean your plate
Don't ask for seconds; savor every drop
Cuz there's nothin' more comin' from the ol' cookpot

Mama gonna bargain with the ol' cookpot
Pray to the Maker, make the hunger stop
And ask a little more than what we've got
Oh, Mama gonna bargain with the ol' cookpot

Thank the Lord and sit up straight
Mind your manners and clean your plate
Don't ask for seconds; savor every drop
Cuz there's nothin' more comin', nothin' more comin' no more

Mama gonna bargain with the ol' cookpot
Try to get more than what that bowler got
Don't trim no fat, pulls potatoes from a box
Mama gonna bargain with the ol' cookpot
Mama gonna bargain with the ol' cookpot
Mama gonna bargain with the ol' cookpot


the lyrics are in the liner notes

You're awesome! Thanks so much! I was really having trouble finding the lyrics to this one - I can usually track them down one way or another - so this is great. Thanx again for taking the time!

Actually... I did join up an hour ago or so, and this is the first time I've ever even tried to take part in a discussion group! I can't believe how quick you guys are.. I'm looking forward to more, and wondering why I haven't tried it before! Take care for now!!!

Thanks for the lyrics. Tania Elizabeth is one of the best fiddlers I've ever seen. Don't miss see the Duhks live if you have the chance. It's quite a show – very high energy.

Open Mike, I had the good fortune to meet the both the Duhks (3 of my pictures are on their web site) and Tim O'Brien at different times in the past couple months, and they had good things to say about each other's music.

A lot of ink left when Sarah Dugas replaced Jessee Havey, but there is plenty of ink left on the Duhks. I thought the shoulder-to-wrist patterns in pale colors looked especially cool. I'm sure there is a word for that kind of tattoo, but I don't know what it is.

Anyway, to answer your question I didn't take any tattoo pictures. "Excuse me, I know we just met a couple hours ago, but would you hold still so I can photograph your individual body parts?" would have been far, far too weird.
