Thread Name: Songs about ducks and geese
Subject: RE: Songs about ducks and geese
"Bought Me a Cat" has verses -
Bought me a duck and my duck please me
And I fed my duck under yonder tree
And the duck went quack quack....
Bought me a goose and the goose pleased me
Fed my goose under yonder tree
And the goose went wohnk wohnk (Or some such spelling of the sound)
Gordon Bok - Turning Toward the Morning
And the northern goose has wandered off to warmer bay and sound.
lesser known John Denver -
I took two shots
Got no ducks
Just cold, cold hands
There's also the group of songs (e.g. Red Iron Ore) with the refrain-
Down, down, down, derry down
Finally there are the "call and anser" songs (honk honk)
