Lightly Row

This tune seems to appear in virtually every tutor book for every instrument so it's really well-known but I didn't realise for years that it's actually an old song! Verse 1 lends itself to doing rowing and gliding actions and verse 2 could have splashing and swimming actions. I've altered some of the words to make them more suitable for children.

  • Lightly row, lightly row
  • Over the glassy waves we go
  • Smoothly glide, smoothly glide
  • On the silent tide
  • __
  • Watch me splashing in the sea
  • Swimming round so easily
  • Then I float in our boat
  • On the salty sea
