I've also heard the "voyaguers in canoes" legend about another round, similar in tune but with many more lilting note changes. I heard it first with these 1970s words grafted oonto it:

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow Don't walk behind me, I may not lead Just walk beside me and be my friend, Then we will walk together hand in hand.

In addition, here are another few verses I have come across to the basic "Hey Ho" or "Rose, rose" melody

Dear friends, dear friends Let me tell you how I feel You have given me such treasure I love you so

Love love love love Hear this now, the word is love Love thy neighbor as thy brother Love love love.
