One of the FSGW people at the Getaway was Ken (regretfully, I forget his last name) who sang spirituals, work songs, shantys with an unforgettable voice and style. I wish I'd caught up with him that weekend, but wasn't able to. One song in particular I'd like very much to learn, so I'm hoping that someone either was AT the Gospel Workshop and remembers the song, or can put me in touch with him.

It was sung to a tune that I'd used earlier in the workshop, before many people had arrived. But the lyrics were different, it used the metaphor of sailing the ocean, or crossing the river, and I can't remember much more.

Can you help?
