Lyrics
We were very tired, we were very merry— We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable— But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon; And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon We were very tired, we were very merry— We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry And you ate an apple, and I ate a pear From a dozen of each we had bought somewhere; And the sky went wan, and the wind came cold And the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold We were very tired, we were very merry We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry We hailed, “Good morrow, mother!” to a shawl-covered head And bought a morning paper, which neither of us read; And she wept, “God bless you!” for the apples and pears And we gave her all our money but our subway fares
