| Oh boatman haste The morning beam | K |
| Glides through the fleecy clouds above | L |
| So breaks on life's dark murm'ring stream | K |
| The rosy dawn of woman's love | L |
| Row then boatman row | E |
| Row then boatman row | E |
| Row 'Tis day away away | M |
| To land with the stream we are flowing | G |
| Heigh ho dear one ho | E |
| Beauty responds to my glad heigh ho | E |
