I've moved the lyrics to a sidebar on the right to make the distinction between the article and the lyrics clear. It stops the lyrics from overwhelming the (comparitively short) article text. —Rory ☺ 22:29, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)

Corrected the description of the verse structure and rhyme scheme. What was there was technically correct (rhyming couplets with separate internal rhymes), but it didn't match the way the song is always formatted: quatrains with internal rhymes in the non-rhyming lines (first and third).

I just want to mention that many overzealous people are contributing to making Wikipedia worse. Having found this article before, I returned to find the lyrics again, but they were no longer there. Was wikipedia running out of space? If an article is about a song, especially a folk song (no copyright) , the lyrics are one of the things that should certaily be there. and just because something can be found somewhere else does not mean it should not be on wikipedia. Regarding whole pages up for deletion, they are not in the way of people who are not looking for them. Why are people deleting any content that someone is looking for? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.189.5.141 (talk) 22:53, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
