Thread Name: Origins: history of Down by the Riverside
Subject: RE: Origins: history of Down by the Riverside
I was on google last night and came across something written in 1902..something about wed my little bright eyed doll....my guess is there probably was a spiritual, and grieve my Lord no more makes sense to me, more than study war no more as original words, not that I know one way or the other..as in not sinning any more....and then perhaps someone took the basic song and made it about the bright eyed gall, and then over the years the songs got all mixed together..hence my jumbled version of it.   mg
