¶Liedtext

Sir Roland to the river came, Full blithely there he cried, “O row me o’er the tide, lassie, O row me o’er the tide! A piece of red, red gold, lassie, I’ll gladly give to thee, For yonder tower’s my lady’s bower, And there she waits for me.” She rowed him o’er the water wide, She saw him leap to land, He left a piece of red, red gold, Within her lily hand. And many a time she ferried him Across the water wide, And every time she dropt the gold A-down into the tide. “O row us o’er the tide, lassie, O row us o’er the tide. I’ll fill thy lap with red, red gold, For I have won my bride!” The water laps among the reeds, No maiden makes reply, There in the river by her boat They see the maiden lie.
