And I’ll be true to my love,
If my love’ll be true to me.
As thay wur walking by the river’s brim,
Hey-down, bow-down,
As thay wur walking by the river’s brim,
The eldest pushed the youngest in.
And I’ll be true, &c.
“Oh sister, oh sister, pray gee me thy hand,
Hey-down, &c.
And I’ll gee thee both house and land.”
