What Are The Lyrics For Lakes of Champlain By Martin Simpson?
Airly one morning young William arose
It's off to his comrade's bedchamber he goes Saying "comrade, royal comrade, rise and let no one know For this is a fine morning and bathing we'll go" They both walked along 'till they came to a long lane The first one they met was the keeper of game And he wished them in his heart to return back again But the fate of young William was to die in a watery main Young William stripped off and he swum the lake round He swum to an island but not in dry ground Saying "comrade, royal comrade, do not venture in For there's deep and false waters in the lakes of Champlain" Airly next morning his sister arose And off to her mother's bedchamber she goes Saying "mother, dearest mother, I dream'd a true dream That young William was floating in a watery stream" It was airly next morning his mother came there Wringing her fingers and tearing her hair Saying "was there nobody by That would venture their life for my fine darling boy?" Airly next morning his uncle came there He rowed round the strand like a man in despair His uncle stripped himself and swum the lake round And he swum to the island where William was found Saying "comrade, royal comrade, do not venture in For there's deep and false waters in the lakes of Champlain" The day of his funeral, it was a great sight Four and twenty young men all dressed in white They took him up to Mary's church and laid him in the clay Saying "farewell, lovely William, forever and a day" God help his poor mother, she's got reason to mourn And likewise his sweetheart for I'm sure she has more For every other morning he did her salute With pinks and red roses and fine garden fruit |
