Thread Name: help w/ Irish or Scottish song (7 nights drunk)
Subject: RE: help w/ Irish or Scottish folk song
The song, in the five-night version, is still active in the Appalachian oral tradition, where it is still known as Cabbagehead. One of the best versions I have ever heard was recorded by Steeleye Span, with just fiddle and vocal, but I have forgotten what they called it.
