babalooy@hotmail.com Lyr Req: Aunt Martha's Sheep (13) Trying to find song re. RCMP & Sheep Stealing 26 Mar 99


Hi! I have been trying to track down a folk song that we used to sing in university. I would like to find the artist, the album, and if possible, the lyrics. It's a Canadian folk song about some guys who steal an old lady's sheep and run off to roast it. The old gal finds out and telegrams the RCMP, who send out an eager if not overly bright officer right away. He goes looking, comes across the thieves, who not only convince him that it is actually moose but to stay and have some! He leaves, satiated, to continue his fruitless quest and none the wiser. It's a really funny song, but none of my friends believe that this song exists!! Looking forward to an answer or some helpful ideas of where to look, Sarah
