Thread Name: Origin:The Water Is Wide-Waly Waly+Carrickfergus?
Subject: RE: The Water Is Wide - Waly Waly
Having posted (above) about sining "When I Survey" to the tune of "Waly Waly" I thought I ought to consider singing "The water is wide" sometime soon.
I found myself sliding into the tune for "Dirty old town". There are some distinct similarities to "The water is wide".
Deliberate by the writer, or just me segueing into fancy?
Cheers
Nigel
