Topical Tom asked about a video. I just sang this at a People's Music Network for Songs of Freedom and Struggle (PMN - www.peoplesmusic.org) weekend, as part of a Round Robin that was posted on youtube, here:

The intro begins at 33:22 .

Dean Morgan was a steadfast member of PMN until his untimely death many years ago. Every time we had a gathering, we'd wait with bated breath to see what roll-on-the-floor song he'd come up with THIS time!

Note that Dean had his own tune for the song. But Turkey in the Straw works very well. I think, but I'm not sure, that it was singer-songwriter Marcia Diehl who put it to the traditional tune.
