| [00:13.25] |
Oh, Mary was a maiden |
| [00:17.89] |
When the birds began to sing. |
| [00:23.72] |
She was sweeter than the blooming rose |
| [00:29.95] |
So early in the spring. |
| [00:34.79] |
Her thoughts were gay and happy |
| [00:39.63] |
And the morning gay and fine, |
| [00:45.32] |
For her lover was a river boy |
| [00:51.36] |
From the river in the pines. |
| [01:01.56] |
Now Charlie, he got married |
| [01:06.29] |
To his Mary in the spring |
| [01:12.19] |
When the trees were budding early |
| [01:17.66] |
And the birds began to sing. |
| [01:23.14] |
But early in the autumn |
| [01:27.74] |
When the fruit is in the wine, |
| [01:33.63] |
I'll return to you, my darling |
| [01:39.17] |
From the river in the pines. |
| [01:49.74] |
It was early in the morning |
| [01:54.44] |
In Wisconsin's dreary clime |
| [02:00.18] |
When he rode the fatal rapids |
| [02:05.87] |
For that last and fatal time. |
| [02:11.21] |
They found his body lying |
| [02:15.70] |
On the rocky shore below |
| [02:21.58] |
Where the silent water ripples |
| [02:26.86] |
And the whispering cedars blow. |
| [02:37.22] |
Now every raft of lumber |
| [02:41.80] |
That comes down the Chippewa, |
| [02:47.64] |
There's a lonely grave that's visited |
| [02:54.04] |
By drivers on their way |
| [02:59.09] |
They plant wild flowers upon it |
| [03:03.69] |
In the morning fair and fine. |
| [03:09.67] |
'Tis the grave of two young lovers |
| [03:15.26] |
From the river in the pines |
