From: Tinker Call John the Boatman and it's midi I learnt the lyric at Girl Scout camp a little different CALL JOHN THE BOATMAN Call John the boatman, call him again For loud roars the river and fast falls the rain John is asleep, he sleeps very sound. His oars lie at rest and his boat lies aground On roars the river, so rapid and deep But the louder that you call John The sounder he will sleep |
