Lyrics
Gleam, gleam, O silver stream
Seaward gaily swelling
Flow, flow, whispering low
To your banks my story telling
Far, far o’er sandy bar
Lies my little one’s dwelling
Flow, flow, merrily, merrily flow
Tell her I love her so, I love her so
Greet, greet, softly my sweet
By thy spangled margin roaming
Croon, croon, under the moon
In the tender love tide gloaming
Greet, greet, softly my sweet
Tell her that I am coming
Flow, flow, merrily, merrily flow
Tell her I love her so, I love her so
Say, say, when she’s away
Life is dark and lonely
Bright and fair when she is near
For ’tis she is the sunshine only
Greet, greet, softly my sweet
She is my love, mine only
Flow, flow, merrily, merrily flow
Tell her I love her so, I love her so
