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.'
