Thanks a lot, Joe. I came here with my transcription from last night and don't have to type now. I'm glad to see I had it all right except one word in the last verse I didn't get. My transcription comes from Barber's singing on the CD 'Furrowed field'. Very few bits he sings just slightly different from the SingOut version.

But for one word I have decided for a different reading which I think makes sense: I have noted 'dammed' where SingOut has 'damned' so my line is

'the river they have dammed'.
