I spied my true love comin´ my way.
Down along the cove,
I spied my true love comin´ my way.
I say, "Lord, have mercy, mama,

Down along the cove,
I spied my little bundle of joy.
Down along the cove,
I spied my little bundle of joy.
She said, "Lord, have mercy, honey,
I´m so glad you´re my boy!"

We walked together hand in hand.

We walked together hand in hand.
Ev´rybody watchin´ us go by
Knows we´re in love, yes, and they understand.
