Beccy, # 3 on your list is from an early recording by Dick & Ann Albin who excell in humorous songs. The last line of that chorus,which begins, "Walk on the path..." is, "and don't cook nothin in the pot that's under the bed." Dick(Richard)Albin has a website- I'm sure you can order CDs from him. Dick and Ann are divorced now and married to other people, but still friends and occasionally still perform together at festivals.
The latest recording of, "Black Waters," is by Laurie Lewis- very well sung. It's also available on my "None But One/High Hills & Mts" CD, along with Fair Nottamun Town (abandoning the "s), The Flowers of Joy, None But One, Now is the Cool of the Day, See That Rainbow Shine, The Orphan's Lament, The Riddle Song, Too Many Shadows, and Wondrous Love. Some old, some new! Love, Jean
