Hi one and all - anyone know the lyrics for John Dead - I think The Unthanks do a version of it but I can't find lyrics anywhere for this song - anyone out the in the Mudcat Oracle able to shed some light?

Have a look at this thread: Lyr Req: Grey Goose, Gone Home / John Dead. (Jim Mageean sings it - probably where the Unthanks got it via dad and the Keelers).

Ah many thanks for that - been looking high and low to no avail - I should've searched along the Grey Goose line.

The whalers of Barrouallie, St. Vincent (www.barrwhalers.org) sing this little song. They sing "Who killed grey goose?" "Where to find grey goose?" In performance they may interject remarks, such as "who kill'im will have to bury him." Dan
