[ Featuring The Stonemasons ]
As I walked out one May morning
Down by the riverside
There I beheld a bold fisherman
Come rowing by the tide
Come rowing by the tide
There I beheld a bold fisherman
Come rowing by the tide
Good morning to you, my bold fisherman
How come you fishing here?
I come here a-fishing for your sweet sake
All on this river clear
All on this river clear
I come here a-fishing for your sweet sake
All on this river clear
He drew his boat unto the bank
And for her mate did went
He took her by the lily-white hand
Which was his full intent
Which was his full intent
He took her by the lily-white hand
Which was his full intent
He took the cloak from off his back
And gently laid it down
There she beheld three chains of gold
Hang dangling three times round
Hang dangling three times round
There she beheld three chains of gold
She fell down on her bended knee
For mercy she implored
In calling you a bold fisherman
When I fear you are some lord
When I fear you are some lord
In calling you a bold fisherman
When I fear you are some lord
Rise up, rise up, my fair young maid
From off your bended knee
There is not one word that you have said
That has offended me
That has offended me
There is not one word that you have said
That has offended me
He took her by the lily-white hand
Saying, married we shall be
Then you will have a bold fisherman
To row you on the sea
To row you on the sea
Then you will have a bold fisherman
To row you on the sea
