A major strength of DigiTrad is its ability to find stuff like this. If you search for "@death Willie" (without the quotes, you'll find a bunch; if you search for "@death Will*" you'll find both Willie and Willy, but you'll also get songs with @death and will, or Williston or whatever. But you'll get a lot in any case.

Hi JG,

The Irish Rovers did a song called "Willie" on an early album. I believe that Jimmie Ferguson sang it. The melody was "The Butcher's Boy" and the song was certainly a varient of "The Butchers Boy" with lines like"

"I wish I was a Maid again" and " And every breath cried Willie Dear"

If you can't find them elsewhere in print I'll see what I can do for you.

Don

Blessings,
Barbara
