Thread Name: Origins: Danger Waters - story behind the song?
Subject: RE: Origins: Danger Waters - story behind the song?
Still have original vinyl bought 65 yrs ago. Always wondered about this song but it seems clear she's having a baby and the waters (amniotic fluid) have burst. Wants it kept secret. We'll never know who is tortoise boy and I just learned the lyrics at age 89. Having been a mystery all these years. Loved the song; backstory probably unknowable. Thx Jim H
