Is that you, Lora? I have several alternate versions of this from Maine if you want to see them. It seems to have been popular. "The Roving Lizzie", sung by Charles Finnemore in 1943, is included in our book "Songs of Ships & Sailors" p. 47. The hero is Donnelly although we have also seen Daniels. Arnold is unusual and I'm interested that Kendall also knew a version with that name. Can you post your version? best- Julia
