I must be going, no longer staying
The burning Thames I have to cross
Oh, I will be guided without a stumble
Into the arms I love the best
Oh, when he came to his true love's window
He knelt down gently on a stone
And it's through the pane he has whispered slowly
"My darling dear, do you lie alone?"
She raised her head from her down soft pillow
And snowy were her milk-white breasts
Saying, "Who's there, who's there at my bedroom window
Disturbing me from my long night's rest?"
So this young girl rose and put on her clothing
So swift she let her true love in
And it's there they kissed and embraced each other
Through that long night they lay as one
No le cantes ahora, gallito
No le cantes ahora, no
No le cantes ahora, gallito
No le cantes ahora, no
No le cantes ahora, gallito
No le cantes ahora, no
No le cantes ahora, gallito
No le cantes ahora, no
Then it's "Willie dear, oh, dearest Willie
Where's your coat you'd sold time ago?"
"Oh, Mary dear, the clay has changed me
And I'm but the ghost of your Willie O'Moe"
Then it's "Cock, oh, cock, oh, handsome cockerel
Oh, I pray you not crow before it is day
And your wings I'll make of the very first beaten gold
Your comb I will make of the silver gray"
No le cantes ahora, gallito
No le cantes ahora, no
No le cantes ahora, gallito
No le cantes ahora, no
And the cock, he crew, and he crew soulfully
Oh, he crew three hours before it was day
"And before it was day, well, my love, he left me
Not by light of the moon nor light of the sun"
No le cantes ahora, gallito
No le cantes ahora, no
No le cantes ahora, gallito
No le cantes ahora, no
Then it's "Willie dear, oh, dearest Willie
Oh, when shall I see you again?"
"When the fishes fly aloft
