lyrics

darlin fair, the hour approaches when i will bid this troubled world adieu
i will spurn fine chariots and coaches for the hold of the master’s swift canoe

no my love, we cannot row together out upon the wide september sea
when i cross the ocean of forever in the spring, will you still remember me?

when you have gone a-sailin yonder, i’ll be a sister to the wind
i will not rest nor cease to wander till i slumber in your arms again

no my love, we cannot row together ...

no reaper’s hand can hold or touch us, no swell of darkness ragin wild
when the fierce and the mighty breaker crushes, i will come safe to harbor in your smile

no water wide can long divide no sund’ring water come between
when the sage moon rise to guide us, we’ll meet in fields of evergreen

no my love, we cannot row together ...
