Suatu pagi pada suatu pagi Willie Leonard muncul
Into his comrade's bed chamber he goes
Ke kamar tidur kawannya dia pergi
Saying arise my loyal comrades, let nobody know
Mengatakan muncul teman setia saya, jangan ada yang tahu
It's a fine summer's morning and bathing we'll go
Ini pagi musim panas yang indah dan mandi kita akan pergi
But as they were walking all down a long lane
Tapi saat mereka berjalan menyusuri jalan yang panjang
Who should they meet with but a keeper of game
Siapa yang harus mereka temui tapi penjaga permainan
Go back Willie Leonard, do not venture in
Kembalilah Willie Leonard, jangan masuk
There's deep and false waters in the lakes of Cool Flynn
Ada perairan yang dalam dan salah di danau Cool Flynn
Young Willie jumped in and he swam the lake round
Young Willie melompat masuk dan dia berenang mengelilingi danau
Till he came to an island but not the right ground
Sampai dia datang ke sebuah pulau tapi bukan tempat yang tepat
Go back my loyal comrades, do not follow me in
Kembalilah kameraku yang setia, jangan ikuti aku
There's deep and false waters in the lakes of Cool Flynn
Ada perairan yang dalam dan salah di danau Cool Flynn
It was later that morning Willie's sister arose
Saat itulah pagi itu adik perempuan Willie muncul
And straight to her mother's bedchamber she goes
Dan langsung ke kamar tidur ibunya dia pergi
Saying mother, dearest mother, I have had a strange dream
Mengatakan ibu, ibu tersayang, aku punya mimpi aneh
Young Willie lies floating in a watery stream
Young Willie terbaring mengambang dalam arus berair
It was later that morning Willies mother got there
Kemudian pagi itu ibu Willies sampai di sana
Wringing her hands and tearing her hair
Memeluk tangannya dan merobek rambutnya
Saying where was he drowned where did he fall in?
Mengatakan di mana dia tenggelam ke tempat dia jatuh?
There's death in false waters in the lakes of Cool Flynn
Ada kematian di perairan palsu di danau Cool Flynn
O the day of his funeral it was such a fine sight
Pada hari pemakamannya, pemandangan itu sangat bagus
With four and twenty young men and they're all dressed in white
Dengan empat dan dua puluh pemuda dan mereka semua berpakaian putih
Four and twenty young men to lay him in cold clay
Empat dan dua puluh pemuda untuk membaringkannya di tanah liat yang dingin
Said adieu to young Willie and they all marched away
Mengatakan kepada Willie muda dan mereka semua pergi
