The Moose Song

One Verse and Chorus:   .wav (780K) | .mp3 (61K)
"The Moose Song" is performed by Andrew Scarhart 
Please refer to Cantaria's Copyright information

Notes:  The original author of this... infamous... song has come forward!  Tom Payton wrote verses 1 through 4 around 1977 while involved in Revolutionary War  re-enacting. He was also involved in SCA, Civil War, Wicca and had friends who played rugby, so the song inevitably spread, and many, many verses have been added over the years. Way many more actually exist than we have listed here. The folk process at work, for better or worse!  Tom has specified that this song is in the public domain now. He notes, too, that the "When I'm in the mood..." verse was actually intended to be the first verse. Thanks Tom!
