[Verse] The father stood on the king's highway And counted the months of the year Said "Your mother is dead and your sister is fled And the bonny babe is not here" [Chorus] "Awake Awake " said the lady of the lake "Be sure to find your kin Bring them to me in the waves of the sea To the shelter of my loch Bring them in" [Verse] A ship on the ocean went floating away The sea is a place to explore The waves took the daughter The son in the water And the lady she brought them to shore [Chorus] "Awake Awake " said the lady of the lake "Be sure to find your kin Bring them to me in the waves of the sea To the shelter of my loch Bring them in" [Verse] A year and a day went floating away The lady was a sight to be seen She stood in the water And told her son and daughter "Go back to the land where you've been" [Chorus] "Awake Awake " said the lady of the lake "Be sure to find your kin Bring them to me in the waves of the sea To the shelter of my loch Bring them in"
