BY THE LAKE SIDE

I saw her by the lake side,

By the lakeside, we met.

I kissed her by the lakeside,

By the lakeside, we wed.

We lived by the lakeside,

By the lakeside, was my house.

I found my love by the lake side,

By the lakeside, she became my spouse.

Our children grew up by the lakeside,

By the lakeside, they played.

We spent our lives by the lake side,

By the lakeside, we aged.

They left us by the lakeside,

By the lakeside, we were to be.

They will come for us by the lakeside,

By the lakeside, we see.

I had seen her by the lakeside,

By the lakeside, we had met.

I had kissed her by the lakeside,

By the lakeside, now we wept.
