Alison does have a lovely voice. The first few verses are: I climb the mountain and scan the ocean for thee, my boatman, with fond devotion When shall I see thee? Today? Tomorrow? Oh! don't leave me in lonely sorrow. chorus: O, my boatman, na hóró éile, (3x) May joy await thee wherever thou sailest. Broken-hearted, I droop and languish, and frequent tears show mg bosom's anguish; Shall I expect thee tonight to cheer me? or close the door, sighing, sad and weary. From passing boatmen, I'd fain discover if they have heard of or seen my lover; They never tell me - I'm only chided and told my heart has been sorely misguided
