@wlonk I think you might be my main hope here.
I'm trying to remember a folk song where she's walking along the river singing a song, and she meets a soldier who's whistling the same tune, and they have a fun little fling together.
The version I'm trying to find has the phrase "I knew we would be lovers" in it, but google's giving me zippo.
CAN YOU HELP
@JoshuaACNewman @wlonk No! It's actually kind of strange how nothing bad or weird happens at all. Nobody's a ghost, nobody murders anybody, nobody freezes to death, nobody drowns as a child.
It must not be a New England song.
@JoshuaACNewman @wlonk I like the one where the parents imagine that their kid gets married and has a baby who drowns, and it makes them so sad that they fall a-bawling...
And then the imaginary baby's ghost actual haunts them.
@lumpley @JoshuaACNewman that right there is where ghosts come from. We haunt ourselves. Just sayin'.
