Irish Song Lyrics

LAKES OF COOLFIN 
It was early one mornin' young Willie rose and off to his comrade's bed chamber did go sayin, "Arise dearest comrades! Let nobody know" "It's a fine summer's mornin' and a bathin' we'll go!" 
Well Willie plunged in and he swam to lay ground 'till he came to an island of soft marshy gound crying, "Comrades dearest comrades, do not venture in! For there's false and deep waters in the Lakes of Coolfin 
well early next morning Willie's sister arose and onto her mother's bedchamber did go sayin', "I had a sad dream 'bout Willie last night He was clad in a shroud, In a shroud of snow white" 
Well later that evening Willie's mother stood there she was ringing her fingers and tearing her hair saying woe to the hour young Willie plunged in For there's false and deep waters in the Lakes of Coolfin 
Well I saw a fair maid standing fast by the shore her face it was sad she was crying for sure singing woe to the hour young Willie plunged in For there's false and deep waters in the Lakes of Coolfin
