I think they are lying so as not to have bad connotations cause it's kind of a children's song
LOL They wrote it, so I guess... But, I'm pretty sure it's just about what they say it's about. None of the people involved were all that into drugs. Hell, Paul - Noel Paul Stookey is a pretty hardcore Christian - and has been for as long as I've known him. Mary didn't even like to drink. Yarrow I think may have dabbled, but certainly wasn't a druggy by any sense of the word.
So, I tend to think it's not about weed - nor about a WWII ship which is another strange conclusion. I've also heard it said that it's about a passage in the bible. That seems even less likely.
I really haven't a clue, thought I bet they like people guessing and coming up with theories
Oh, and some folks think it's about a plane.
I don't get that
They think it's about the C-30 'Spooky'. Or is it C-130? I'm kinda drunk now, so it's one of those.
