Stan Rogers - The Maid On The Shore Lyrics
There is a young maiden, she lives all a-loneShe lived all a-lone on the shore-oThere's nothing she can find to comfort her mindBut to roam all a-lone on the shore, shore, shoreBut to roam all a-lone on the shore'Twas of the young Captain who sailed the salt seaLet the wind blow high, blow lowI will die, I will die, the young Captain did cryIf I don't have that maid on the shore, shore, shore ...I have lots of silver, I have lots of goldI have lots of costly ware-oI'll divide, I'll divide, with my jolly ship's cresIf they row me that maid on the shore, shore, shore ...After much persuasion, they got her aboardLet the wind blow high, blow lowThey replaced her away in his cabin belowHere's adieu to all sorrow and care, care, care ...They replaced her away in his cabin belowLet the wind blow high, blow lowShe's so pretty and neat, she's so sweet and completeShe's sung Captain and sailors to sleep, sleep, sleep ...Then she robbed him of silver, she robbed him of goldShe robbed him of costly ware-oThen took his broadsword instead of an oarAnd paddled her way to the shore, shore, shore ...Me men must be crazy, me men must be madMe men must be deep in despair-oFor to let you away from my cabin so gayAnd to paddle your way to the shore, shore, shore ...Your men was not crazy, your men was not madYour men was not deep in despair-oI deluded your sailors as well as yourselfI'm a maiden again on the shore, shore, shore
