Kate Rusby - Bring Me A Boat lyrics

Bring me a boat to cross to my dear I stand here alone, with my sweetheart so near Bring me a boat to cross o'er Tyne For it's deep murky waters part his heart and mine Chorus: And the Tyne, it flows on and out to sea If a boat I'm granted, then safe let me be And gently I'll go, for gently I'll row As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow Does he know I stand each day on the shore Does he know I'd give all to see him once more Does he know I've wept ten thousand times o're And is he still waiting as he was before? Chorus The boatman, he wants the gold I can't give My parents are poor, so I've nothing to give Only my heart and that will not float So please, don't deny me and bring me a boat Chorus
