belter Origins: Waly, Waly - Water is Wide (31) RE: Waly, Waly 02 Apr 97


since the subject seams to have gotten broden a little, I don't mind bringing in a question about another song that may be in this family.

Were does CARRICKFERGUS fit in to all this? It may not be in the general fammily of warning against courting as defined above, but it contains borowed elements. Does that make it a related song in a different family, a part of that fammily that has been folk proccessed to express a different theam, or a commpleatly sepperat song that has made use of a popular motif? Or should I just quit analysing this stuff and get a life?
