There are several recent sets of lyrics written to Midnight on the Water, all of which have been posted here several times already. My own feeling is that they are all pretty poor compared to the tune, and that some people can't leave well alone when they really ought to (maybe those who can sing a tune but can't play it?); but of course many others would disagree with me. Many people have also recently written lyrics to Carolan tunes, and most of those, too, have been quite ghastly.
