You've picked a toughie, Steve. I don't know any Swan tunes as such,
and the only songs I know of that were not already mentioned are:
Wal, I Swan -- Riley Puckett. It's not about swans -- it's a
vaudeville hick number.
Molly Bawn (The Shooting of his Dear) -- A young man shoots his own
true love, mistaking her for a swan.
She Moved Through The Fair -- "...as the swan in the evening moves
over the lake."
Now, chickens -- that's a rich vein.
