Joe, I'll try to get the Great Lakes version of Maid of Amsterdam posted soon. It's from a recently published collection that you may have seen called "Windjammers - Songs of the Great Lakes Sailors". Thanks for reviving the Ballad of Blue Mountain Lake thread - I'll be anxious to hear what you find out from George Ward. The version I do is essentially Sara Grey's (traced back to Lily deLorme I believe) with some hopefully-not-too-obtrusive guitar harmonization.
