As I walked down by the riverside
One evening in the spring
Blown in on the great North wind
Though there is no lonesome corncrake's cry
And the laughter and the fights
May the ghosts that howled
Never keep you from your sleep
As I walked on with a heavy heart
Then a stone danced on the tide
Though the lights were gone
And the North wind gently sighed
And an evening breeze coming from the East
That kissed the riverside
So I pray now child that you sleep tonight
When you hear this lullaby
May the wind that blows from haunted graves
And keep you while you sleep
