Subject: Death by drowning in traditional songs
Any suggestions? Particularly involving rivers, and ideally involving soldiers as the victims.

With future weeks at 52fs in mind, I'm looking for songs with a thematic link to Kipling's "Ford o' Kabul River". Pete Seeger's "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" comes to mind, but offhand I can't think of anything traditional.
