"Lightly Row " is a simple rhyme from the Old Mother Goose's Rhymes collection. 

The melody is taken from a popular German folk song and children's song from the 19th century, "Hänschen klein" ("Little Hans"). Wie spielt man Hänschen klein? 

“Lightly Row” exists in different languages and became part of modern pop culture!

Here’s the text of the original German “Hänschen klein”: 

“Hänschen klein ging allein
in die weite Welt hinein.
Stock und Hut stehn ihm gut,
ist gar wohlgemut.
Aber Mutter weinet sehr,
hat ja nun kein Hänschen mehr.
Da besinnt sich das Kind,
läuft nach Haus geschwind”
