To see the waters gliding hear the nighting gales sing??

Could that be what you're looking for.

As I was out a walking & a-rambling one day
I spied a young couple a-making their way
One was a lady & a lady was she
The other was a cowboy & a brave one was he
the other was a cowboy & a brave one was he.

"The Wild Rippling Waters" is in Lomax's 'Cowboy Songs' he sings it on his 'Texas Folksongs' if it's the same song as the one you're looking for. He collected it from Alec Moore, it's an American version of the Soldier/Sailor & the Lady or "The Nightingale".
I post the rest if this is what you're after
