[Chorus 1]
Don't you
Wait, no, by the water, no, don't
You'll wait so hard, you'll wait so long
You'll look so far, you'll look so wide
You'll see a boat, but it won't be mine, no
Oh, once you told me, you told me you'd be mine

[Verse]
And in no other pleasure find
You went away, ah, you lied then
It's my lonely time, I never loved, I'm never gonna love again
Oh fair thee well, my pretty man
Goodbye, goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Old man, goodbye, my friend
Never mind the tears, never mind the love
First you're gonna look, yeah, then I'll be gone

[Chorus 2]
Oh, don't you, don't you wait, no, by the water, no don't
You'll wait so hard, you'll wait so long
You'll look so far, you'll look so wide
You'll see a boat, but it won't, but it won't, it won't be mine
Oh no, don't you, don't wait, no, don't
By the water, by the water, hun, don't, no
Oh, don't you, don't you wait, no, don't
Oh, by the water, no, don't you wait, no, don't
By the water, hun, don't wait, no
By the water, hun, don't you wait, no, don't you wait
By that water, hun, don't you wait, no, don't you wait, no, don't
[?] by the water, hun, [?] don't you wait, no, don't
By that water, hun, no, don't you wait, don't
By that water, hun, don't you wait, don't
