Lyrics

Little boat on the river,
take me to my baby soon.
For she waits on an island,
like a snowflake lost in June.
There are waves on the water though you haven't come in sight.
In the mist of the morning will you see my lantern light?
(I'm gonna be waiting by the river - I'm gonna be praying that the river boat comes.)
There are birds that are startled,
though you haven't come to be.
In the mist of the morning will you sail right out to sea?
Little boat on the river,
take me to my baby soon.
For she waits on an island,
like a snowflake lost in June.
