Lyrics
(American folk song)
Oh, deep the water an’ shallow the shore
Bear away Yankee, bear away boy
Bear away and dere she go
Bear a way Yankee, bear a way boy
Oh, deep the water an’ shallow the shore
Bear away Yankee, bear away boy
Bear a way to Noble Boy
Bear away Yankee, bear away boy
Oh what me going tell John Gould today?
Bear away Yankee, bear away boy
(repeat twice)
Deep the water, shallow the shore.
Bear away Yankee, bear away boy
