Yes, I thought so (I remember that I thought, on first encountering the recording or perhaps the words written down, that something like "And I think that she will hear" would have been a better fit to the notes, the verb coming on the stress instead of "think she WILL hear ME", and consequently remembered Ferguson's own words even though I've never sung the song). There's another set of words to this gentle way of the air, something about "The leafy Cool-Kellure" and a visit to Ireland by Queen Victoria.
