Stan Rogers The Maid on the shore INTRO: Am, Am
There Amis a young Gmaiden, she Emlives all a-Amlone She Amlived all a-Glone on the Amshore-o There's nothing she can fCind to cGomfort her mEmind But toAm roam all a-lonGe on the shore, sAmhore, shore G But to Amroam all a-Glone on the Amshore
'Twas of the young Captain who sailed the salt sea 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 ... 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 row me that maid on the shore, shore, shore ... After much persuasion, they got her aboard Let the wind blow high, blow low They replaced her away in his cabin below Here's adieu to all sorrow and care, care, care ... They replaced her away in his cabin below Let the wind blow high, blow low She's so pretty and neat, she's so sweet and complete She's sung Captain and sailors to sleep, sleep, sleep ... Then 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 ... Me men must be crazy, me men must be mad Me men must be deep in despair-o For to let you away from my cabin so gay And to paddle your way to the shore, shore, 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 ...
