OK, "Midnight on the Water" isn't in DT yet, but on the assumption that it will be, maybe this will head off confusion.

"Midnight on the Water" was a fiddle tune long before anyone wrote words for it, and it is still often recorded as such. It is often assumed to be traditional but Luke Thomasson probably wrote it. His son, Benny Thomasson, recorded it in 1970. (Click here for more information.)

John Croziat wrote one set of lyrics, and Kate Wolf recorded them in 1977. These have been posted here, here, here, and here.

Ron Kavana wrote and recorded different lyrics in 1989. They have been posted here, here, here, and here.

Many people have recorded one version or another, but I haven't taken the time to sort them all out.^^
