Pinery Boy |
| «O father, o father, build me a boat |
| That down the Wisconsin I may float |
| And every raft that I pass by |
| There I will inquire for my sweet Pinery Boy» |
| As she was rowing down the stream |
| She saw three rafts all in a string |
| She hailed the pilot as they pass by |
| And there she did inquire for her sweet Pinery Boy |
| «O pilot, o pilot, tell me true |
| Is my sweet Willie among your crew? |
| Oh, tell me quick and give me joy |
| For none other will I have but my sweet Pinery Boy» |
| «Oh, auburn was the color of his hair |
| His eyes were blue and his cheeks were fair |
| And his lips were of a ruby fine; |
| Ten thousand times they’ve met with mine» |
| «O dear dear lady, he is not here |
| He’s drownded in the dells I fear |
| 'Twas at Lone Rock as we passed by |
| Oh, there is where we left your sweet Pinery Boy» |
| She wrung her hands and tore her hair |
| Just like a lady in great despair |
| She rowed her boat against Lone Rock |
| For a Pinery boy her heart was broke |
