With no one else but you.

Oh do not disturb my waking dream

And the splendor of my winding stream,
G7 C
Flower in my canoe her eyes they looked me through.

My maiden fair with golden hair is very much like you.

The sparkling trout beneath the bank

The spreading branches overhead,

The sunrise peeking through,

When looking, dear, at you.

Oh do not disturb my waking dream
D7 G
And the splendor of my winding stream,
G7 C
Flower in my canoe her eyes they looked me through.

My maiden fair with golden hair is very much like you.
