Subject: RE: A pleasant musical oddity
Sure it was actually 'The water is wide'? There is a rather naff set of lyrics to the tune - available in 'Celebration Hymnal', a purple hymnbook available in the UK. I remember it vaguely because it left me with a faint feeling of betrayal and general nastiness.... I don't mind people nicking old tunes but I do object to them renaming and denying its origins. Besides, the words were naff, trite and tedious in the extreme!
