Jimmy Whalen Full Lyrics

[00:15.12] All alone as I walked by the banks of the river [00:23.02] Watching the moonbeams as evening drew nigh [00:31.68] All alone as I rambled, I spied a fair damsel [00:39.68] Weepin' and wailin' with many a sigh [00:48.70] Weepin' for one who is now lyin' lonely [00:55.90] Mournin' for one who no mortal can save [01:04.56] As the foaming dark waters flowed sadly about him [01:12.54] Onward they speed over young Jimmy's grave [01:23.03] [01:28.36] Oh, Jimmy, why can't you but tarry here with me? [01:35.92] Not leave me alone distracted in pain [01:44.45] But since death is the dagger that cut us asunder [01:52.25] Wide is the gulf, love, between you and I [01:59.68] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [01:59.97] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [02:17.66] All alone as I rambled, I spied a fair damsel [02:25.37] Weepin' and wailin' with many a sigh [02:34.94]
