Lyrics for 'The Gum Tree Canoe'

I'll sing you a dit-ty,
A sweet little song.
It will take just a moment,
It won't keep you long;

I will sing of the days
When our love was so new,
And we sailed down the Mur-ray ri-ver boys,
In a gum tree ca-noe.

We rowed, we rowed,
O'er the wa-ter so blue,
Like a fea-ther we would float a-long
In a gum tree ca-noe.
