2. De schipper   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
De schipper:
 Het water van de gracht is grijs
 Als de ogen van de schemering --
 Ik neurie steeds op eend're wijs:
 Lieveling, lieveling --

De schippersmaat:
 Ik die de witte zeilen hijs
 Zit op het grote roer en zing --
 Het leven is een vreemde reis,
 Ons hart een donker ding --

De schippersvrouw:
 Ik weet dat ik niet veilig reis
 Als niet de witte vreemdeling
 Voor de boot uit naar 't paradijs
 Over het water ging...
