Peggy Seeger_ The Leatherwing Bat (song)

I have a compilation of Peggy from 50's-60's on my main channel (tonypeacockpeacock) this is a song from Animal folk songs for children a later work I would love the original animal folksongs if anyone has that album. Regardless this is a classic!
Enjoy!

just for your information .. this was recorded in the 1990s and the spoon-playing is by my partner, Irene Pyper-Scott. the photos are probably from the 1960s. thanks for putting this up.

Hi, I'm wondering if you would have your version tabbed out? What tuning do you use on this recording? Sorry to bother about this, but your version is quite enchanting. Pete Seeger's version has some very interesting and tricky phrasing.

Hi Peggy! I love this version of the wonderful song. I think I've got down all the words except for the jaybird verse. I must not be hearing the second line right - Meat and red laying on the shelf? I know it's going to be something obvious and I'll be embarressed!

[@susannahrose9928]

Wait, gotta be "meat and bread laying on the shelf" - right?

Peggy Seeger really gets this song, and this is terrific. Great spoons too! And verses I hadn't heard before!

On "Animal Folk Songs for Children" I heard Peggy play this song on banjo with Irene Scott on spoons.

Sorry, but Peter Paul and Mary knocked this outta the park. And i cant help but think of Abby the spoon lady with this song. I can legit see her in the background in my head
