_ _ _ _ _ _
_ to sing [Ab] a song called, I'm going to sing a song called,
my [Eb] water, drown it you shall be.
_ It's steep and I lie aboard,
cost me [Bb] 30 pounds.
[Eb] Out with my trusty suit,
to take me safe and sound.
_ So [Bb] I rode over the high,
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
and rushed in the cloud water,
with a fear of 500 feet.
_ _ Golden cloud, you roar so loud,
your streams are wonder strong.
Make me a wreck as I come back,
spare me as I'm worn.

_ He came to fair Margaret's gate,
he's called Darlene. _ _
Rise up, rise up,
rise _ _ up and let me in. _
_ Who's that stands [Ab] in my garden gate,
[Bb] calling me Margaret's name?
[Eb] It's only first love, sweet William,
this night gone through your arms.
Open the door, I made Margaret's,
open and let me _ in.
I'm soaked full of the cloud water,
and I'm shivering to the skin. _
My seagull is full of horses,
my barns are full [Bb] of hay,
[Eb] and my bars are full of gentlemen,
[Bb] they'll not [Eb] renew the day. _
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
curse my mother later on me,
for coming this night to you. _
_ Who's rode over the high,
down the [Bb] deep land,
[Eb] and the rush in the cloud water,
took Willie's hat from him.
He's leaving the motors, _
to fetch his hat again,
and the rush in the cloud water,
took Willie's cool coat. _
When the steamer over his saddle blow,
to catch his coat [Bb] by force,
[Cm] and the rush in [Eb] the cloud water,
[Bb] took Willie [Eb] from his home. _

_ Here I am, this young man,
down in the water deep,
and up in Rose Bay,
my feet out of breath. _ _
Oh, here come in my milly beers,
I drink a [Bb] peary gin,
I take [Ab] my good couples that [Eb] I've made,
nobody like them. _
It's more warm right down there,
but your lovers come and gone,
so what have you done made with him?
I've played it for my own.
_ _ In the river, oh, she out,
down in the [Bb] river's bend,
[Eb] and the [Ab] louder that this lady cried,
the [C] louder [Eb] blew. _
_ _ The [Ab] _ _

_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ first step that Margaret took,
she stepped up to her [Bb] feet, _
_ [Eb] and [F] alas, this lady sighs,
your water's [Eb] wondrous deep.
And the very next [F] step that she went in,
[Bb] she's weighed to her knee,
[Cm] she said, she, [Eb] I would wait farther,
[Bb] to find my true [Eb] lover come see.
And the very last step that she went in,
she stepped up to her chin, _
_ the deepest part of the Clyde water,
she found sweet. _ _
_ You have had a cool mother,
I have [C] had another,
[Eb] but now we sleep in the Clyde water,
like sister [Ab] and [Eb] like mother. _ _ _ _ _
