Does he know I stand each day on the shore

The boatman he wants the gold I can't give

My parents are poor so I've nothing to give

Only my heart and that will not float

So please don't deny me and bring me a boat

And gently I'll go, for gently I'll row
D A E A
As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow
