CORRECT LYRICS
Lyrics : The Banks of Green Willows
O it's of a sea-captain
Down by the seaside-o
And he's courted a young lady
And he's got her by child
"Go and fetch your father's gold
And some of your mother's money
And go all across the ocean
All along with young Johnny"
"Now I've got my father's gold
And some of my mother's money
And I'll go all across the ocean
All along with young Johnny"
Now they hadn't been a-sailing
No miles not a great many
Before she was delivered
Of a beautiful baby
"Go and fetch a white napkin
For to tie my head easy
And throw me quite overboard
Both me and my baby"
Now see how she tottеrs
And see how she tumbles
And see how she's rolling
All upon thе salt water
Go fetch me a longboat
For to row my lover back again
For to row my lover back again
Both for her and her baby
For she shall have a coffin
And the coffin it shall shine yellow
And she shall be buried
On the banks of green willow
Down by the seaside-o
And he's courted a young lady
And he's got her by child
"Go and fetch your father's gold
And some of your mother's money
And go all across the ocean
All along with young Johnny"
"Now I've got my father's gold
And some of my mother's money
And I'll go all across the ocean
All along with young Johnny"
Now they hadn't been a-sailing
No miles not a great many
Before she was delivered
Of a beautiful baby
"Go and fetch a white napkin
For to tie my head easy
And throw me quite overboard
Both me and my baby"
Now see how she tottеrs
And see how she tumbles
And see how she's rolling
All upon thе salt water
Go fetch me a longboat
For to row my lover back again
For to row my lover back again
Both for her and her baby
For she shall have a coffin
And the coffin it shall shine yellow
And she shall be buried
On the banks of green willow
