Thread Name: Lyr Req: Lovely on the Water (Steeleye Span)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: lovely on the water-steeleye?
I didn't find this song in the Digital Tradition, so I've harvested it. BigJ, I guess you're not registered - can you give your initials so I can credit you for the submission?

This song has themes you find in lots of ballads - a woman wanting to dress in men's clothing, a token, springtime walking with birds, seamen infatuated with women named Nancy, and an overdose of male chauvinism. Is there a Child Ballad or DT song # that should be assigned to this song?
