Never heard Pete Singh the song. But it would be hard to surpass Gideon Barretts version. We have heard him sing it many a time, the song is best sung standing on a chair, it's the physical actions that makes the song ad well. we had the pleasure of him singing it for us at our wedding in Dublin last year in O'Donohues of Merrion Row.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Gideon was singing it in Bampton over this last weekend!

There are two threads on this song, the other can be found here. I think they should be combined or linked.

Thanks for consolidating things, Dave. Did your linked lyrics (clikc) correct my transcription any? I haven't checked thoroughly myself but it seems mostly similar.

Note that in the second verse it is pronounced "that' swan thing I'll admit" in order to up the bird name count!

The last verse first line ends with the word "loose", and leave you expecting goose as a rhyme.
