Lyrics:
Jolly boating weather, And a harvest breeze, Blade on a feather, Shade off the trees.
| Swing, swing together
With your backs between you knees. |
Skirting past the rushed, Ruffling o'er the weeds, Where the lock-stream gushes, Where the wild duck feeds.
| Let us see how the wine-glass flushes
At supper beyond the meads. |
Some may be more clever, Others may make more row, But we'll row on forever, Steady from stern to bow.
| And youth will still be in our faces
As we cheer for the old time crew. |
Twenty years hence this weather, May tempt us to go on a spree. We may be slow to feather, And seem to the boys N. G.
| But we'll still swing together.
And swear by the U. N. B. |
