Lightly Row
This song can be found in print as early as 1854.
Lightly Row
Children's Song
Lightly row, lightly row,
O'er the glassy waves we go!
Smoothly glide, smoothly glide,
On the silent tide!
Let the winds and waters be
Mingled with our melody.
Sing and float, sing and float
In our little boat!
Far away, far away,
Echo in the rock at play;
Calleth not, calleth not,
To this lonely spot.
Only with the seabirds' note
Shall our happy music float.
Lightly row, lightly row,
In our little boat!
Please let us know if you think this video has been taken down by YouTube.
Thanks!
