  1. (continued from previous page)
    For there is false and deep water in the Lake of Coolfin.

    And I saw a fair maiden, standing fast by the shore
    She was wringing her hands, she was weeping full sore
    And in deep anguish she gazed where her Willie plunged in,
    Oh! There is deep and false waters in the Lake of Coolfin.
