The Waters Of Tyne

1. I cannot get to my love if I would need

the waters of Tyne stand between him and me

and here I must stand with the tear in my eye

oh sighing and starving my true love to see.

2. Oh where is the boatman my bonnie will need

oh where is the boatman oh bring him to me

for to ferry me over the Tyne to my honey

to carry him 'cross the run waters to me.

3. Oh where is the boatman I`ll pay any money

and you for your troubles rewarded shall be

if you ferry me over the Tyne to my honey

and I will remember the boatman and thee.
