US Folk Standard Song. The sea shanty about a river. Jeff Baker sitting in and providing lead vocals and guitar solo. The Pomegranate County Irregulars doing everything else, except for providing coffee, as he was in Florida and the band in California. Harmonica solo Dan Orias. Piano and Rhythm Guitars by the Tremolo Twins, Tommy and Theophilus.
We did this to answer a request we think birthday gal Julia might make.
As a semi-academic note, there are many sets of lyrics for this song. We think we wrote two original quarter-verses here, but it's hard to say.
