All the flowers are bloomingand the air is fresh and clear
see the bluebird on the wing or the summertime is near
Come with me my bonny lass and say you will be mine and stay forever with me here
Down by the banks of the Tyne
Down by the banks of the Tyne
Oh ye river rolling on it's journey to the sea
Keelman carry me over to the one who waits for me
and come with me my bonny lass and say you will be mine
and stay forever with me here down by the banks of the tyne
Down by the banks of the Tyne
Keelman carry me over for the water is deep and wide
Keelman carry me over for she waits on the other side
Oh that bonny lassie she means the world to me
Fond memories they will linger of when we were young and free
Come with me my bonny lass and say you will be mine
and stay forever with me here down by the banks of the Tyne
Down by the banks of the Tyne
Come with me my bonny lass and say you will be mine
and stay forever with me here down by the banks of the Tyne
Down by the banks of the tyne
