	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. Artist History Jennifer Licko has received formal training in music and holds an undergraduate degree in music education from East Carolina University. She has also studied Gaelic at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland for two consecutive summers.

Her Gaelic singing has captivated her fans, and she admits that Gaelic singing is very exciting to perform and to listen to! 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?
