Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Rapidan River / Never Touch Water
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rapidan River runs right by my door
I have a notion it may be in an pretty old Sing Out! Can't access mine just now. But here's the only verse (other than that posted) that I remember:

I know an old bishop who's past eighty-five;
I said to him, "Bishop, you certainly thrive!"
He swore by Saints Christopher, Peter and Paul,
That he never touched water, touched water at all.
