Here is a link to a set of words for "Row On, Row on". Except that the first verse (used as chorus), I have always heard sung with the last line as "There's dawn beyond the night", not "Thou must not come tonight" as here.
I believe the tune was put to it by Tim Laycock. And that's how he sings it. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Roll on roll on another day? From: lamarca Date: 18 Mar 02 - 10:15 AM Welcome, Merrybee - a mondegreen is a set of misheard or misremembered words to a song, where the listener substitutes what he or she thinks they heard. It comes from a classic example, where the original words of the ballad were: "And they laid him on the green..." and the singer being collected sang: "And the Lady Mondegreen..." There are numerous threads here with collections of people's favorite lyrical mondegreens, from folk, rock, country - you name it! Type "mondegreen" in the search box for some examples... |
