Well, my daughter has taken care of the lyrics request quite nicely, I think. Unfortunately, the sound on my computer is in the same 'broken' condition as her's is so I, too, cannot offer the tune over the computer. However, I can offer the following:

A little bit of history on this one would include the fact that many young couples of the day took their honeymoon on the Old Fall River Line, and this song was very popular among the steamboat travelers. Wickford Express has, on several occassions, had an elderly man/woman/couple come up from the audience and, with teary eyes, tell us how they remember singing this song on the deck of one of the steamboats, one of which sailed out of India Point in Providence down to Long Island and back. We found this song in the Providence Public Library's collection of local historic songs and we included it in our presentation, "Down Narragansett Bay." It has been a winner in our repertoire ever since.

Sing On! Cindy
