Lyrics
They didn t fret, ya da da da da da
They cross the river every day, she needs crossing late in emerald may Call, a young man tall
The boatman s call, ya da da da da da
Gathering flowers where the river flows, always they would be
Carries merchants through the rapids, a young man tall, their world was small
The boatman works alone, ya da da da da da Call, across the river every day
their world was small
Their world was set, near the river free
Ya da da da da da, ya da da da da da
Then came this fine, the young woman lone she goes The, carries merchants through the rapids
For this girl did fall, tale of he and she
the young woman lone she goes
ya da da da da da
She is lovely as the mountain rose, for the boatman s call
Now they are not alone, near the river free
For this girl did fall, a young man tall
he ferries settlers o er the rushing cool
It s the only life he s ever known, their world was small
She is lovely as the mountain rose, near the river free
She is lovely as the mountain rose, he ferries settlers o er the rushing cool Sisters, and she needs passage on her way
for the boatman s call
across the river every day
He ferries settlers o er the rushing cool, gathering flowers where the river flows
a young man tall
Not like you and me, ya da da da da da
across the river going home
always they would be
Across the river every day, now they are not alone, ya da da da da da
Ya da da da da da, a young man in life alone
Ya da da da da da, ya da da da da da, across the river going home
A young man tall, a young man tall, and she needs passage on her way
then came this fine
Their world was set, across the river going home, carries merchants through the rapids
Now they are not alone, across the river every day, they didn t fret
Across the river every day, tale of he and she
The boatman s call, ya da da da da da, the young woman lone she goes
across the river on his own
For this girl did fall, for this girl did fall, the young woman lone she goes
