¶Lyrics / Text

Lightly our boat is now gliding along, gliding along, gliding along; Stoutly we’re rowing in time with our song, Rowing in time with our song. See where the water-flies playfully dance, playfully dance, playfully dance, Flitting and mingling in sunshiny glance, Flitting in sunshiny glance. Forests and meadows are passing behind, passing behind, passing behind; Odors so sweetly are borne on the wind, Odors are borne on the wind. Swiftly we dash thro’ the beautiful spray, beautiful spray, beautiful spray; While the bright moments are passing away, Pleasantly passing away. Joyous the strain which we blithely prolong, blithely prolong, blithely prolong; Hillside and valley reecho the song, Sweetly reecho the song. Pull away merrily, bend to the oar, bend to the oar, bend to the oar; Leaving far distant our home on the shore, Leaving our home on the shore.
