The Water of Tyne.

I cannot get to my love, if I would dee,
G A7 G D
The water of Tyne runs between him and me,
D G
And here I must stand with a tear in my e'ee,
D A7 G D
Both sighing and sickly my sweetheart to see.
VERSE
D A7 G D
O where is the boatman? my bonny hinny!
G A7 G D
O where is the boatman? bring him to me,
D G
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey,
D A7 G D
and I will remember the boatman and thee.
VERSE
D A7 G D
O bring me a boatman, I'll give any money,
G A7 G D
and you for your trouble rewarded shall be,
D G
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey,
D A7 G D
Or scull him across that rough river to me.
VERSE
D A7 G D
I cannot get to my love, if I would dee,
G A7 G D
The water of Tyne runs between him and me,
D G
And here I must stand with a tear in my e'ee,
D A7 G D
Both sighing and sickly my sweetheart to see.
