Lyrics for Lightly Row | Lyrics for Little John |
Lightly row, lightly row, O'er the glassy waves we go! Smoothly glide, smoothly glide, On the silent tide! Let the winds and waters be Mingled with our melody. Sing and float, sing and float In our little boat! Far away, far away, Echo in the rock at play; Calleth not, calleth not, To this lonely spot. Only with the seabirds' note Shall our happy music float. Lightly row, lightly row, In our little boat! | Little John He has gone Out to see the world alone Staff and hat, Look at that, He's one happy cat. But his mommy cries a lot Now she has no Johnny got. "Fortune find, But you mind, Come back to your kind." Seven years, Joy and tears, John in many lands appears. Then he thought That he ought To go home and got. But now he's no Johnny small, No, he is now big John tall. Tall and tanned, Face and hand. Will they know this man? One, two, three Pass and see, Don't know who this man might be. Even Sis: "Who is this?" Knows not who he is. Then along comes mother dear, Barely sees his eyes so clear, Says: "My son, Welcome home, God bless you my son." |
