D G D A D
{Verse]
D G D
On the Tom big bee river so bright I was born
D A
In a hut made of husks of the tall yellow corn
D G D
An there I first meet with my Julia so true
A D
An I row'd her about In my Gum Tree Canoe
[Chorus]
D G
Singing row away row, O'er the waters so blue
A G D
Like a feather we'll float, In our Gum Tree Canoe
D G
Singing row away row, O'er the water so blue
A G D
Like a feather we'll float, In our Gum Tree Canoe
[Verse]
D G D
All day in the field the soft cotton I hoe
A
I think of my Julia and sing as I go
D G D
Oh I catch her a bird, with a wing of true blue
A D
An at night sail her round in my Gum Tree Canoe
[Chorus]
D G
Singing row away row, O'er the waters so blue
A G D
Like a feather we'll float, In our Gum Tree Canoe
D G
Singing row away row, O'er the water so blue
A G D
Like a feather we'll float, In our Gum Tree Canoe
[Verse]
D G D
With my hands on the banjo and toe on the oar
A
I sing to the sound of the rivers soft roar;
D G D
While the stars they look down at my Julia so true
A D
An' dance in her eye in our Gum Tree Canoe
[Chorus]
D G
Singing row away row, O'er the waters so blue
A G D
Like a feather we'll float, In our Gum Tree Canoe
D G
Singing row away row, O'er the water so blue
A G D
Like a feather we'll float, In our Gum Tree Canoe
[Verse]
D G D
One night the stream bore us so far away
A
That we couldn't come back so we thought we'd just stay,
D G D
Oh, we spied a tall ship with a flag of true blue,
A D
And it took us in tow with our gum-tree canoe.
[Chorus]
D G
Singing row away row, O'er the waters so blue
A G D
Like a feather we'll float, In our Gum Tree Canoe
D G
Singing row away row, O'er the water so blue
A G D
Like a feather we'll float, In our Gum Tree Canoe
