    Story Behind the Song
    The song, "The Boatman" is about how much pain one goes through because of the love being so strong. At that time being a fisherman was a very dangerous job and loved ones would be concerned about a safe return.

    Lyrics
    O my boatman
    O my boatman
    O my boatman
    my hearty farewell to you everywhere you go.

    Often I look from the highest hill
    trying to see the boatman;
    Will you come today or tomorrow?
    If you do not come, I will be a pitiful sight.

    My heart is broken and bruised
    Often tears run from my eyes;
    Will you come tonight, or can I hope
    Or will I be forced to close the door with a sigh?
