There lived, as I've heard say
Down by a running water,
An
old man and his wife
Who had a charming daughter.
One night Kate said to
John
"I've had a troubled fancy,
I heard the waters roar
And thought upon our
Nancy."
"If Tom and Nance should wed
And such a thing there may be
Their
marriage might bring about
A prattling little baby."
"When that dear babe could
walk
And just begin to waddle
Perchance he might come hear
And in the water
paddle."
"I know he will be drowned
I hear those waters calling,
O pretty sweet
baby."
And both began a-bawling.
No doubt it was but fate
That brought those
lovers walking
To where old John and Kate
Were a-sighing and a-talking.
They
all sat on the green
While Katie told her fancy
How they did weep and wail
Tom, old
man, Kate and Nancy.
They all went crying home
Tom, old man, wife and
daughter
Each night the ghost doth come
And cries upon the water.
From
Traditional American Folk Songs, Warner and Warner
Collected from Lena Bourne Fish,
1940.
