  1. I
    One fine Summer's morning
    Young Leonard arose,
    And straight to his comrades
    Bed chamber he goes
    Saying, comrade loyal comrade
    Let nobody know
    It is a fine morning and bathing we will go.
    They walked all along
    Till they met a long lane,
    And the first man they met
    Was they keeper of game.
    Saying comrades loyal comrades
    Do not venture in
    There is deep and false waters
    In the lakes of Coolfin.
