22 Jun 99 - 04:47 PM (#88804) Subject: RE: Wild Goose From: Richard Bridge If you're in Chatham you ought to visit Hazlitt folk in Maidstone. But perhaps you already do. No-one there does the song, but if you have the tune I expect about any half dozen of the more proficient people there could fathom it out - me excluded. |

22 Jun 99 - 05:15 PM (#88815) Subject: RE: Wild Goose From: Art Thieme "The Wild Goose" I enjoy most (indeed, the only one I know) was written by Wade Hemsworth of Morin Heights, Ontario. The best version was one I heard a while ago by Jon ? & Rika Rueebsaat---both are Mudcatters but I've not seen posts from them lately.

22 Jun 99 - 06:25 PM (#88844) Subject: RE: Wild Goose From: catspaw49 In my younger days I used to use a particularly Wild Goose on various barmaids, resulting in either a laugh or a backhand. Actually, it wasn't a bad technique as I either won or lost FAST and saved a lot on drinks and tips. ........Aaaahhhhhhh, to be young and cretinous again. catspaw |

22 Jun 99 - 08:25 PM (#88880) Subject: RE: Wild Goose From: Frank of Toledo The version Art mentioned is my favorite also, written by Wade Hemsworth, and a fine version by our own Rick Fielding on his Folk Legacy "Lifeline", with lyrics and chords I may add. |

23 Jun 99 - 03:05 PM (#89084) Subject: RE: Wild Goose From: Roger in Baltimore Johnny B., Welcome to the Mudcat. We usually post requests for lyrics on a separate thread. You do that by going to the Main Forum page and clicking on "Create a New Thread" at the top. If you use the song title or some significant words, you will draw in people who are just browsing but may know the song you seek. I made a new thread for you, CLICK HERE. Also, if you are interested in Country and Western songs a good site to visit is COWPIE. They don't have Distant Drums, but they do have many other songs. Enjoy the music! Roger in Baltimore |

26 Jun 99 - 04:34 PM (#90001) Subject: RE: Wild Goose From: Mbo I love Kate Rusby's "The Wild Goose" too. Here are the chords for the song (as I figured them, in the key of D) Verse: D G D Ever see the Wild Goose sailing on the ocean A D G A D Ranza, boys, oh ranza ray D G D Just like them pretty girls when they get the notion A D G A D Ranza, me boys, oh ranza ray etc. Chorus: Bm G A Oh ranza, you'll rue the day D G A D As the Wild Goose sails away Bm G A Oh ranza, you'll rue the day D G A D As the Wild Goose sails away That's pretty much it! |

01 Jul 99 - 08:57 PM (#91529) Subject: RE: Wild Goose From: Tim Jaques tjaques@netcom.ca It's a sea shanty of course, although Kate Rusby doesn't sing it that way. A version of it as a shanty is on "Blow Boys Blow" by A.L. Lloyd and Ewan McColl. I assume The Wild Goose is the name of the ship. Sigh. Wish Ms. Rusby would see fit to tour on this side of the Atlantic. |

01 Jul 99 - 11:52 PM (#91568) Subject: RE: Wild Goose From: Margarita Here's an interesting angle from the notes of a CD called "Blow the Man Down". "Sometimes it starts: 'I'm the shantyman of the Wild Goose Nation', perhaps a reference to Ireland (wild geese is a name for 17th century Irish patriots who fled their country to take service with foreign kings)."
