Thread Name: Lyr Req: Death of Young Andrew (from Martin Carthy
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: trad 'revenge' song, poss Scottish?
I've always really liked Carthy's version.

Song has an excellent body count and the revenge motif works for me.

But I've never learned it.

Martin's tune is a bit vague and I can't think of many situations where it would be just the right song to sing.
