Thread Name: Joe Heaney version of 'Capt. Wedderburn'
Subject: RE: Joe Heaney version of 'Capt. Wedderburn'
In the version of "Wedderburn" with which I am familiar (sung by Ewan McColl), there is no mention of Melchizedek. The answering reference to "a priest unborn" is that
"The priest is standing at the door Just ready to come in No one can say that he was born No one unless he sin A wound cut in his mother's side And he out o't did fall And we'll baith lie in ae bed And You'll lie niest the wall!"
It's possible this is no news to anyone, but I can't tell from previous posts whether this is widely familiiar.
