Verso
D A7 G D
I cannot get to my love, if I would dee,

Both sighing and sickly my sweetheart to see.

O where is the boatman? my bonny hinny!

To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey,

and I will remember the boatman and thee.
Verso

O bring me a boatman, I'll give any money,

Or scull him across that rough river to me.
