Lyrics
There was a young maiden who lived by the shore, let the wind blow high, blow low.
No one could she find to comfort her mind.
As she sat all alone on the shore,
she sat all alone on the shore.
There was a sea captain who sailed on the sea, let the wind blow high, blow low.
I'll die I'll just die, the captain he cried.
If I can't have that maid on the shore,
if I can't have that maid on the shore.
The captain had silver, the captain had gold, the captain had costly wealth.
To bring him that maid from the shore,
to bring him that maid from the shore.
Then slowly, slowly she came up on board. The captain gave her a cheer'o.
He seated her down in the cabin below.
Adhere to all sorrow and care,
adhere to all sorrow and care.
She seated herself in the bow of the ship, she sang so long and sweet'o.
She sand so sweet, gentile and complete,
She sang all the sea men to sleep,
she sang all the sea men to sleep.
She partook of his silver, partook of his gold, partook of his costly wealth.
The took his broadsword to make her an oar.
To paddle her back to the shore,
to paddle her back to the shore.
Your men must be crazy, your men must be mad. Your men must be deep in despair'o.
I've looted them all, as well as yourself.
Again I'm a maid on the shore,
again I'm a maid on the shore.
