11``Father! father! where are you going? O father father where are you going
22O do not walk so fast. Oh do not walk so fast;
33Speak, father, speak to your little boy, Oh, speak, father, speak to your little boy,
44Or else I shall be lost.'' Or else I shall be lost.

66The night was dark, no father was there; The night it was dark & no father was there,
77The child was wet with dew; And the child was wet with dew.
88The mire was deep, & the child did weep, The mire was deep, & the child did weep
99And away the vapour flew. And away the vapour flew.
