Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Peeler and the Goat
Subject: RE: Req:This is a long shot...haggedeedee let go of me
Those words appear in an arrangement of The Peeler and the Goat recorded some years ago by the Irish band Oisin. There is no such refrain in the broadside or traditional forms I've seen, so I don't know if it really belongs to the song or not. It goes something like
With a hecketty-dee, let go of me
Or I'll puck you with my horns-o;
And a hecketty-dee, let go of me
Or I'll leave you bruised and torn-o.
See if the rest of the words sound familiar to you.
