H. [Build Me a Boat] Sung by Mr. JAMES H. CHISHOLM at Nellysford, Va., May 21, 1918
Heptatonic* Aeolian.
Father, father, build me boat
That on the ocean I may float.
Light is the colour of my true love's hair,
His cheeks resemble some ladies fair.
Father, father, build me a boat
That on the o cean I may float.
