American Old Time Song Lyrics: 05 The Waterfall
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 5
THE WATERFALL.
Sung by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Knight.
By the dale and hill flows the water rill-
La la la la-i la-i la la la;
A cabin, snug and neat, stands in the village street-
La la la la la-i la-i la la la;
From all else apart is my own sweetheart-
La la la la-i la-i la la la;
Our lips to each we press, in fond and sweet caress-
La la la la-i la-i la la la.
'Twas there in love's delight our troth we then did plight-
La la la la-i la-i la la la;
And by the running brook we all but love forsook-
La la la-i la-i la la la;
'Twas surely like a dream, so heavenly did it seem-
La la la la-i la-i la la la;
'Twas like an angel's dull, this bubbling waterfall-
La la la la-i la-i la la In.
