• Lyrics:  
  
  By the dale and hill,
  Flows the water rill;
  La la la lai lai la la la.¹⁾
  A cabin snug and neat,
  Stands in the village street;
  La la la lai lai la la la.
  From all else apart,
  Is my own sweetheart,
  La la la lai lai la la la.
  Our lips to each we press,
  in fond and sweet caress.
  La la la lai lai la la la.
  
  chorus (duet):
  La la la …
  
  'Twas there in love's delight,
  Our troth we then did plight;
  And by the running brook,
  We all but love forsook;
  La la la lai lai la la la.
  'Twas surely like a dream,
  So heavenly it did seem;
  La la la lai lai la la la.
  'Twas like an angel's call,
  This bubbling Waterfall.
  La la la lai lai la la la.
