Wee Cooper O'Fife

Wee Cooper O'Fife

"Wee Cooper O'Fife" is a well-known Scottish folk song about a cooper who beats his wife because she will not cook, clean, and sew. It was recorded by Burl Ives on 11 February 1941 [Naxos: [http://www.naxos.com/mainsite/NaxosCat/Naxos_Cat.asp?item_code=8.120728&memberID= link] ] for his debut album "Okeh Presents the Wayfaring Stranger". It has also been recorded by Hedy West, Ed McCurdy, and Ian Campbell. [Digital Tradition Folk Music Database: [http://sniff.numachi.com/pages/tiCOOPFIFE;ttCOOPFIFE.html link] ] An American variation of the song, entitled "Risseldy Rosseldy", was sung by the school children in the 1963 film "The Birds" right before they were attacked by a swarm of birds.
