Lyrics

One morning in the month of June Down by a riverside A lady spied a bold fisherman Come rowing on the tide Come rowing on the tide There she spied a bold fisherman Come rowing on the tide Good morning to you, my bold fisherman How come you fishing here? I come a-fishing for your sweet sake Along this river clear Along this river clear I come a-fishing for your sweet sake Along this river clear He drew his boat up to the bank And to the lady went He took her by the milk-white hand For that was his intent For that was his intent He took her by the milk-white hand For that was his intent He took his cloak from off his back And gently laid it down There she spied three chains of gold On twinkling three times round On twinkling three times round There she spied three chains of gold On twinkling three times round Down on bended knee, she fell For mercy, she implored I thought you just a bold fisherman Now I think you are some lord Rise up, rise up from off the ground From off your bended knee There's no single word that you have said That has offended me I'll take you to my father's hall And you shall be my bride And you shall have a bold fisherman To row you on the tide To row you on the tide You shall have a bold fisherman To row you on the tide
