When it was Grandmother Barbara's day, / We lived on a hill, and down below, / Beyond the pasture and the trees, / A river used to go.
The water was very wide and blue / And deep, and my! it was a sight / To see the ships go up and down, / And all the sails were white.
And Grandmother Barbara used to wait / Beside the window or the door. / She never was too tired of it / To watch the river any more.
And we could hardly see across, / And the water was blue, as blue as the sky, / And all day long and all day long / We watched the little ships go by.
