1
Oh, Mary was a maiden
2
When the birds began to sing.
3
She was sweeter than the blooming rose
4
So early in the spring.
5
Her thoughts were gay and happy
6
And the morning gay and fine,
7
For her lover was a river boy
8
From the river in the pines.
9
Now Charlie, he got married
10
To his Mary in the spring
11
When the trees were budding early
12
And the birds began to sing.
13
But early in the autumn
14
When the fruit is in the wine,
15
I'll return to you, my darling
16
From the river in the pines.
17
It was early in the morning
18
In Wisconsin's dreary clime
19
When he rode the fatal rapids
20
For that last and fatal time.
21
They found his body lying
22
On the rocky shore below
23
Where the silent water ripples
24
And the whispering cedars blow.
25
Now every raft of lumber
26
That comes down the Chippewa,
27
There's a lonely grave that's
28
Visited by drivers on their way
29
They plant wild flowers upon it
30
In the morning fair and fine.
31
'Tis the grave of two young lovers
32
From the river in the pines
