Richard,

I'd be a bit leery of defining the generally accepted version of a song so widely sung in so many versions. See the threads linked above. I am sure most singers know better than three verses! And I have heard as many sing the last verse differently than you have given it.

This song and its antecedent, Waly, Waly, is one of the oldest known songs in English and is documented through scores of iterations. A lot of information asbout can be found in the threads of discussion linked at the top of this one, and by searching for "Waly, Waly" in the Forum.
