The Maid On The Shore

There was a fair maid and she lived all alone

She lived all alone on the shore

No one could she find for to calm her sweet mind

But to wander alone on the shore, shore, shore

To wander alone on the shore

There was a brave captain who sailed a fine ship

And the weather being steady and fair

I shall die, I shall die,this dear captain did cry

If I can't have that maid on the shore, shore, shore

If I can't have that maid on the shore

After many persuasions they brought her on board

He seated her down on his chair

He invited her down to his cabin below

Farewell to all sorrow and care

Farewell to all sorrow and care

I'll sing you a song,this fair maid did cry

This captain was weeping for joy

She sang it so sweetly, so soft and completely

She sang the captain and sailors to sleep

Captain and sailors to sleep

She robbed them of jewels, she robbed them of wealth

She robbed them of costly fine fare

The captain's broadsword she used as an oar

She rowed her way back to the shore, shore, shore

She rowed her way back to the shore

Oh the men, they were mad and the men, they were sad

They were deeply sunk down in despair

To see her go away with her booty so gay

The rings and her things and her fine fare

The rings and her things and her fine fare

Well, don't be so sad and sunk down in despair

And you should have known me before

I sang you to sleep and I robbed you of wealth

Well, again I'm a maid on the shore, shore, shore

Again I'm a maid on the shore
