leeneia The Water is Wide - one more time! (56* d) RE: The Water is Wide - one more time! 28 Apr 25


Here are some more verses I've heard for The Water is Wide.

from Steve Goodman

There is a ship, and she sails the sea;
she's loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as this love I'm in;
I know not if I sink or swim.

from Elly Ameling

Down in the meadow the other day,
a-gathring flowers both fine and gay,
A-gathring flowers both red and blue,
I little thought what love can do.
==========================================
In an era where we want to save time and resources, why don't we all stop putting the apostrophe in ev'ry? Nobody pronounces the middle e in 'every'. Ditto the e in the middle of 'gathering.'
