I cannot get to my love if I would die;
|
The water of Tyne runs between her and me
|
And here I must stand with a tear in my 'ee,
|
Both sighing and sickly, my sweetheart to see
|
|
I cannot get to my love, if I would die;
|
The water of Tyne runs between her and me
|
And here I must stand with a tear in my 'ee,
|
Both sighing and sickly my sweetheart to see
|
|
Oh, where is the boatman, my bonny hinny?
|
Oh, where is the boatman? Bring him to me
|
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey,
|
And I will remember the boatman and thee
|
|
Oh, bring me a boatman, I'll give any money,
|
And you for your troubles rewarded shall be
|
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey
|
Or scull her across the rough river to me.
