1. |
Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flick'ring light.
Silently flows the river to the sea,
And the barges, too, go silently.

Barges, I would like to go with you;
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, have you treasures in you hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold? |

Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges' flick'ring light.
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red,
You can see them flick'ring far ahead. |
