O Boatman, no one else O Boatman, no one else O Boatman, no one else My farewell to you wherever you go I often look from the highest hill That I might see my boatman Will you come tonight, or will you come tomorrow Oh sorry will I be if you do not come at all My heart is broken, bruised Often tears are running down from my eyes Will you come tonight, or will I wait up for you Or close the door with a sad sigh?
