Although the Weavers reference my seem amusing -- they are basically 
right.  You should trot down to your local library, dig out a copy of
Childs and look it up.  I did once and there are truly dozens of verses --
if you thumb through childs you'll find lots of other neat songs that share
that trait -- Joan Baez recorded 'Matty Groves', all 25 verses and managed
to make it not even be boring to listen to.

good luck
