Raft song
Language: English
From up above my raft drifts down To you! to you! And oh! my love, your sweetheart brown Is true! is true! No girl's so sweet up in the pine As you! as you! Say, when you meet this raft of mine, I'm true! I'm true! From up above my raft drifts down To you! to you! And oh! my love, your sweetheart brown Is true! is true!
