Maid On The Shore
There was a fair maiden, she lived all alone
She lived all alone on the shore o
No one could she find but to calm her sweet mind
And to wander alone on the shore o,
To wander alone on the shore o.

There was a fine captain who sailed a fine ship
and the weather be steady and fair o
"I shall die, I shall die!" the fair captain he cried
"if I cant have that maid on the shore, shore, shore
if I cant have that maid on the shore o."

After many persuasions they brought her on board
They seated her down on a chair o
He invited her down to his cabin below
Farewell to all sorrow and care, o
Farewell to all sorrow and care o.

"I'll sing you a song" this fair maid did cry
the captain was leaping for joy o
she sang it so sweetly
so soft and completely

she sang the captain and sailors to sleep o
Captain and sailors to sleep o.

She robbed them of jewels,
she robbed them of wealth,
she robbed them of costly fine fare o
the captains broad sword she used as an oar
and she rode away back to the shore, shore, shore
rode away back to the shore o.

o the men they were mad yes the men they were sad
they were deeply sunk down in despair o
to see her go away with their booty so gay
with their rings and their things and their fine fair robes
their rings and their things and their fine fair robes.

"o dont be so sad and sunk down in despair
well you should have learned it before o
i sang you to sleep and i robbed you oh well
well again im a maid on the shore, shore, shore
again im a maid on the shore o.
