Lyrics:

How lovely are the water chestnuts by the lake
The girl picking them smiles so sweetly
The ripples gently sway the boat
Her song drifts into the blue sky

Picking water chestnuts,oh picking water chestnuts
Basket after basket we pick
How intoxicating is the sweetness of water chestnuts
Picking them brings happiness and a good mood

How lovely are the water chestnuts by the lake
The girl picking them smiles so sweetly
The ripples gently sway the boat
Her song drifts into the blue sky

Picking water chestnuts,oh picking water chestnuts
Basket after basket we pick
How intoxicating is the sweetness of water chestnuts
Picking them brings happiness and a good mood

How lovely are the water chestnuts by the lake
The girl picking them smiles so sweetly
The ripples gently sway the boat
Her song drifts into the blue sky

Picking water chestnuts,oh picking water chestnuts
Basket after basket we pick
How intoxicating is the sweetness of water chestnuts
Picking them brings happiness and a good mood

Picking water chestnuts,oh picking water chestnuts
Picking them brings happiness and a good mood
