WATERS OF TYNE



I cannot get tae my love if I would dee

For the waters of Tyne run between him and me

And here I maun stand wi a tear in my ee

All sighin and sobbin, my true love to see



Oh where is the boatman, my bonny hinney

Oh where is the boatman, go bring him to me

For to ferry me over the Tyne to my honey

Or speed him across the rough waters to me



Oh bring me a boatman, I'll gi all my money

And you for your trouble rewarded shall be

If you'll carry me over the Tyne to my honey

And I will remember the boatman and thee



I cannot get tae my love if I would dee

For the waters of Tyne run between him and me

And here I maun stand wi a tear in my ee

All sighin and sobbin, my true love to see
