	Story Behind the Song An anecdote regarding my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother: "Jane Boyd, when a young girl and before her marriage, went with some of her girl friends to have their fortunes told. The old witch was blind. When she came to read the gentle Jane's life she swung her arms to and fro in imitation of a weaver -- intimating that she would marry a weaver, at which lady Jane flared up in disgust and anger. But cruel as fate the old hag went on reading her doom. 'Oh the wather, Oh the wather.' (water) cried she, and told her that she would cross the sea. She then held up a certain number of fingers (supposed to have been five) as the number of children she would have, and then bent down two of her old wrinkled fingers, saying that so many would die young."
