Bring Me a Boat @20 Lyrics by Kate Rusby

20

2012

[Verse 1: Kate Rusby]
Bring me a boat to cross to my dear
I stand here alone with my sweetheart so near
Bring me a boat to cross o'er the Tyne
For its deep murky waters parts his heart and mine
[Chorus: Kate Rusby]
And the Tyne it flows on and out to the sea
If a boat I am granted then safe let me be
And gently I'll go, for gently I'll row
As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow
[Verse 2: Kate Rusby, Kate Rusby & Declan O'Rourke]
Does he know I stand each day on the shore?
Does he know I'd give all to see him once more?
Does he know I've wept ten thousand times o'er?
And is he still waiting as he was before?
[Chorus: Kate Rusby & Declan O'Rourke]
And the Tyne it flows on and out to the sea
If a boat I am granted then safe let me be
And gently I'll go, for gently I'll row
As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow
[Flute Solo]
[Verse 3: Kate Rusby, Kate Rusby & Declan O'Rourke]
The boatman he wants gold I can't give
My parents are poor so I've nothing to give
There's only my heart and that will not float
So please don't deny me and bring me a boat
[Chorus: Kate Rusby & Declan O'Rourke, Kate Rusby]
And the Tyne it flows on and out to the sea
If a boat I am granted then safe let me be
And gently I'll go, for gently I'll row
As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow
And the Tyne it flows on and out to the sea
If a boat I am granted then safe let me be
And gently I'll go, for gently I'll row
As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow
