In my little thatched hut      In my little thatched hut   Where blue-green grass grows by the brook   I lounge and i look   (i lounge and i look, i lounge and i look)   For my own true love to return   To come rowing in his rowboat back.      In my little thatched hut   Where blue-green grass grows by the brook   I lounge and i look   (i lounge and i look, i lounge and i look)   For my own true love to return   To come rowing in his rowboat back      I'll go to the flower stall   And get a violet violet to put in my jet black hair   And make him tell me which one is the more fair.   And in the meantime i cry      In my little thatched hut   Where blue-green grass grows by the brook   I lounge and i look   (i lounge and i look, i lounge and i look)   For my own true love to return   To come rowing in his rowboat back      In my little thatched hut   Where blue-green grass grows by the brook   I lounge and i look   (i lounge and i look, i lounge and i look)   For my own true love to return   To come rowing in his rowboat back   Boat back!      I'll go to the flower stall   And get a violet violet to put in my jet black hair   And make him tell me which one is the more fair      And in the meantime i cry   But what does it matter   Because when i see him again, it'll be tears of joy      Tears of joy, tears of joy, tears of joy, tears of joy   Tears of joy, tears of joy, tears of joy, tears of joy      In my little thatched hut   Where blue-green grass grows by the brook   I lounge and i look   (i lounge and i look, i lounge and i look)   For my own true love to return   To come rowing in his rowboat back
