Maid on the ShoreThere once was a maiden, she lived all alone, She lived all alone on the shore, oh. And naught 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 seas, Let the wind blow high, blow low. "I will die, I will die," the young captain did cry, "If I don't have that maid on the shore, shore, shore. If I don't have that maid on the shore. "Well, I have lots of silver, I have lots of gold, I have lots of costly wear, oh, I'll divide, I'll divide, with my jolly ship's crew, If you'll row me that maid from the shore, shore, shore, If you'll row me that maid from the shore." After much persuasion they brought her aboard, Let the wind blow high, blow low. They placed her away in his cabin below. Here's a due to all sorrow and care, care, care, Here's a due to all sorrow and care. They placed her away in his cabin below. Let the wind blow high, blow low. She's pretty and neat, she's sweet and complete. She sang captain and sailors to sleep, sleep, sleep, She sang captain and sailors to sleep. Then she robbed them of silver, she robbed them of gold, She robbed them of costly wear, oh, Then took his broadsword instead of an oar, And paddled her way to the shore, shore, shore, And paddled her way to the shore. "Well, me men must be crazy, me men must be mad, Me men must be deep in despair, oh, For to let you away from my cabin so gay, And to paddle your way to the shore, shore, shore, And to paddle your way to the shore." "Well your men were not crazy, your men were not mad. Your men were not deep in despair, oh, I deluded your sailors, as well as yourself. I'm a maid once again on the shore, shore, shore, I'm a maid once again on the shore." There once was a maiden, she lived all alone, She lived all alone on the shore, oh. And naught 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.
