Over beyond my aunt’s
Where the deep waters flow
I will become an eel
Where the deep waters flow.
If you become an eel
Where the deep waters flow
Angler I then shall turn
That I may get you so.
Angler if you should turn
That you may get me so
I will become a lark
Over the fields to go.
If you become a lark
Over the fields to go
Hunter I then shall turn
That I may get you so.
Hunter if you should turn
That you may get me so
I will become your bride
For that you love me so.
