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)
