| Row aha we've moon and star | F |
| And our skiff with the stream is flowing | G |
| Heigh ho ah heigh ho | E |
| Echo responds to my sad heigh ho | E |

| Oh boatman haste The sentry calls | H |
| The midnight hour on yonder shore | I |
| And silvery sweet the echo falls | H |
| As music dripping from the oar | I |
| Row then boatman row | E |
| Row then boatman row | E |
| Row afar fade moon and star | F |
| While our skiff with the stream is flowing | G |
| Heigh ho ah heigh ho | E |
| Echo responds to my sad heigh ho | E |

| 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 |
