12 May 00 - 09:21 PM (#227346) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Keel Row III From: raredance This version of the Keel Row song is also found in the book "the Music of the Waters" by Laura Alexandrine Smith published in 1888. Ms Smith calls it "Weel may the Keel Row, that gets the Bairns their Breed". The more common version of "Weel May the Keel Row" that is found in the DT (search: [keel row])was the basis for a song written by Pete Seeger called "Well May The World Go". The Seeger song does not appear to be in the DT. I will add it in a separate thread. rich r |
