By the winding river I can see you
I wave and hope you come by soon
I made you a pie and tea
It'll take you a while to get to me (4 5 5 1 1) extra bar in here

To me
Get to me
On the winding river
Get to me

In summer you send me verses
Like daisies, lilies and twigs in purses
And a song in the sound of water
Heard by a sailor’s daughter

A daughter
A sailor’s daughter
On the winding river
A sailor’s daughter

In autumn the leaves are red
And when they come I know we'll be wed
In the sun when the water flows
In the wind your lips will blow

To me
A kiss for me
On the winding river
A kiss for me

Break

In winter the leaves are down
No mother to make me a wedding gown
For a song in the sound of water
Heard by a sailor’s daughter

A daughter
A sailor’s daughter
On the winding river
A sailor’s daughter

In spring the leaves are sweet
I wave and hope that we will meet
I baked you a fish from the sea
One that swam to me

A daughter
A sailor’s daughter
On the winding river
A sailor’s daughter

A daughter
A sailor’s daughter
On the winding river
A sailor’s daughter
