Hello everyone.This is my first attempt at publication and I've run into a snag. I want to submit an arrangement of a folk song (The Water is Wide) for publication. The company wants me to submit a source for this folksong. The problem is, I learned this folksong at my mother's knee. I know that this song is a folk song, not a song written by anyone. Wikipedia agrees with me. Unfortunately, I don't know if Wikipedia or my mom will be considered credible sources to a publisher. So where do I go to find a source for this text and melody? Many thanks
