[Verse 1]
D G A D
It was early one morning young Willie arose,
And off to his comrade's bedchamber he goes,
"Arise my dear comrade, let no-one know,
'Tis a fine sunny morning, and a-bathing we'll go".
[Verse 2]
D G A D
Oh Willie jumped in and he swam the lake round,
He swam to an island, it was soft, boggy ground,
"Oh comrade, dear comrade, do not venture in.
There is deep and false water in the Lakes of Coolfin."
[Verse 3]
D G A D
It was early that morning, Willie's sister arose
And unto her mother's bedchamber she goes,
"I dreamed a sad dream about Willie last night
He was dressed in a shroud, in a shroud of snow white."
[Verse 4]
D G A D
It was early that morning Willie's mother came in,
She was wringing her hands, and tearing her hair.
"Oh woe is the hour young Willie plunged in,
For there is deep and false water in the Lakes of Coolfin."
[Verse 5]
D G A D
And I saw a fair maid standing by the shore
Her face it was pale, she was weeping full sore
In deep anguish she gazed where young Willie plunged in
Ah there is deep and false water in the Lakes of Coolfin."
These have been sung in other versions as the second and last verses:
D G A D
To the Lake of Coolfin the comrades soon came
And who should they meet but the keeper of game.
"Turn back, Willie Leonard, do not venture in,
There are deep and false waters in the Lake of Coolfin."
D G A D
Oh, to see Willie's funeral, it was a grand sight
There were four-and-twenty young men, they were all dressed in white.
There were four-and-twenty young maids, they were all dressed in green.
Just to show that he was drowned in the Lake of Coolfin.
