2. Oh where is the boatman my bonnie will need
oh where is the boatman oh bring him to me
for to ferry me over the Tyne to my honey
to carry him ’cross the run waters to me.
3. Oh where is the boatman I`ll pay any money
and you for your troubles rewarded shall be
if you ferry me over the Tyne to my honey
and I will remember the boatman and thee.
