“Con thuyền nhỏ, thuyền nhỏ...” “Twas such a little – little boat...”

“Twas such a little – little boat...”

Twas such a little – little boat
That toddled down the bay!
‘Twas such a gallant – gallant sea
That beckoned it away!

‘Twas such a greedy, greedy wave
That licked it from the Coast –
Nor ever guessed the stately sails
My little craft was lost!
