The Once - Maid On The Shore lyrics

There was a young maiden who lived all alone She lived all alone on the shore, O There was nothing she could find to comfort her mind But to roam all alone on the shore, shore, shore But to roam all alone on the shore 'Twas of a young Captain who sailed the salt sea Let the winds blow high or blow low, O "I will die, I will die," this young Captain did cry "If I can't get that maid from the shore, shore, shore If I can't get that maid from the shore I have lots of silver, I have lots of gold I have lots of costly ware, O I'll divide, I'll divide, with my jolly ship's crew If they'll row me that maid from the shore, shore, shore If they'll row me that maid from the shore" After much persuasion, they got her on board Let the winds blow high or blow low, O Where they placed her away in his cabin below Here's adieu to all sorrow and care, care, care Here's adieu to all sorrow and care They placed her away in his cabin below Let the winds blow high or blow low, O She's so pretty and neat, she's so sweet and complete She sang Captain and sailors to sleep, sleep, sleep She sang Captain and sailors to sleep She robbed him of silver, she robbed him of gold She robbed him of costly ware, O Then took his broadsword instead of an oar And paddled her way to the shore, shore, shore And paddled her way to the shore "My men must be crazy, my men must be mad My men must be deep in despair, O For to let her away, with her beauty so gay And to paddle her way to the shore, shore, shore And to paddle her way to the shore" "Your men was not crazy, your men was not mad Your men was not deep in despair, O I deluded your sailors as well as yourself I'm a maiden again on the shore, shore, shore I'm a maiden again on the shore" There is a young maiden who lives all alone She lives all alone on the shore, O There is nothing she could find to comfort her mind But to roam all alone on the shore
