[Verse 1]
It was early one morning Willie Leonard arose
Into his comrades' bedchamber he goes
Saying, "Arise my loyal comrades, don't let anyone know
It's a fine summer's morning and a-bathing we'll go"
[Verse 2]
But as they were walking all down a long lane
Who should they meet with but a keeper of game?
"Stand you back, Willie Leonard, do not venture in
There's deep and false waters in the lakes of Cool Flynn"
[Verse 3]
Young Willie jumped in and he swam the lake round
Till he came to an island but not the right ground
"Stand you back my loyal comradеs, do not follow me in
There's deep and falsе waters in the lakes of Cool Flynn"
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 4]
It was early that morning Willie's sister arose
And into her mother's bedchamber she goes
Saying, "Mother, dearest mother, I have had a strange dream
Young Willie lies floating in a watery stream"
[Verse 5]
It was later that morning Willie's mother got there
Wringing all her hands and tearing all of her hair
Saying, "Where was he drowned? Where did he fall in?
There's death in false waters in the lakes of Cool Flynn"
[Verse 6]
O the day of his funeral it was such a fine sight
Four and twenty young men, they're all dressed in white
With four and twenty young men to lay him in cold clay
Said adieu to young Willie and they all marched away
