Yes, Jim Dixon, the problem with "I Wonder as I Wander" is the incorrect "like I." One can soften the effect by singing "like yo-u and I," but actually the whole thing ought to go back into the shop for a retooling.

I also dislike the line "When Mary birthed Jesus," which makes Mary sound like a cow calving and not like a human being.

The melody's beautiful, though. Wonder how long it was around before the words.
