Which old song connects Noah and his family, the trinity, symbols to keep evil spirits from entering the house, planets and people who had washed their feet at Cana?

I think this is "Green Grow the Rushes, O!" There are a number of different versions of this song, and a good many different interpretations. Since the words have almost certainly been changed or corrupted over the centuries, I don't think any explanation can be proved. May 26 05, 5:22 AM

Fair enough but yay anyway, TT. I had heard that Noah and family were the "April rainers" and the "proud walkers" were those that had their feet washed. May 27 05, 12:34 AM

There are apparently Muslim and Jewish versions of this song. The version I sang as a child (in school, not in church, by the way) was quite obviously Christian. For those who don't know the song, here are the most common English lyrics: http://ingeb.org/songs/illsingy.html May 27 05, 7:43 AM
