Hello, Ann!
Do you have the music to the British folk song, "O Waly, Waly." It also goes by other names, and there are many different sets of words that are used with this beautiful tune. I have also written a text, which I would be glad to make available to you. My goal in writing it was to produce a women's barbershop arrangement that was appropriate for funerals, since Sweet Adelines choruses and quartets are often asked to sing for the funerals of their members. The text is also usable in other worship settings, but it was designed for funeral use. Let me know if you are interested in obtaining a copy of this music/text at a minimal cost (Say $2.00?). You can then simply use my words with your solo music arrangement.
