Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCAA DDEEFFDD GGHHBBGG IFJF

To and fro to and froA
In my little boat I goA
Sailing far across the seaB
All alone just little meB
And the sea is big and strongC
And the journey very longC
To and fro to and froA
In my little boat I goA
-
Sea and sky sea and skyD
Quietly on the deck I lieD
Having just a little restE
I have really done my bestE
In an awful pirate fightF
But we cdaptured them all rightF
Sea and sky sea and skyD
Quietly on the deck I lieD
-
Far away far awayG
From my home and from my playG
On a journey without endH
Only with the sea for friendH
And the fishes in the seaB
But they swim away from meB
Far away far awayG
From my home and from my playG
-
Then he cried O Mother dearI
And he woke and sat uprightF
They were in the rocking chairJ
Mother's arms around him tightF
