Boat of Silver Lyrics

There's many ships tarry in the harbour
Many roads wind across the hill
And many roses grow on the arbour
Many's the girl waits for me there still
horus
For swiftly come all the tides returning
Swiftly go then and will not stay
There is no boatman can net the morning
There is no boatman can net the day
The fish run deep, oh, they run so deeply
I cannot find them in the seas
The lonely road winds the hill so steeply
I'll lie me down there and take my ease
horus
For swiftly come all the tides returning
Swiftly go then and will not stay
There is no boatman can net the morning
There is no boatman can net the day
The rose that blooms blows its petals over
And the thorns lie along the bough
The girls have gone now to a different lover
They will not linger beside me now
horus
For swiftly come all the tides returning
Swiftly go then and will not stay
There is no boatman can net the morning
There is no boatman can net the day
I will build me a boat of silver
Steer it with a golden oar
And I will row out of this sad harbour
And never sail back to this dark shore
horus
For swiftly come all the tides returning
Swiftly go then and will not stay
There is no boatman can net the morning
There is no boatman can net the day
There is no boatman can net the morning
There is no boatman can net the day
