Polly on the Shore - Fairport Convention[00:00:00]
Come all you wild young men[00:00:00]
And a warning take by me[00:00:05]
Never lead your single[00:00:10]
Life astray or into bad company[00:00:12]
As I myself have done[00:00:18]
Being all in the month of May[00:00:22]
When we were pressed by a sea captain[00:00:27]
A privateer to trade[00:00:31]
To the East Indies we were bound[00:00:38]
To plunder the raging main[00:00:42]
And it's many the brave and a galliant ship[00:00:47]
We sent to a watery grave[00:00:51]
Ah for Freeport we did steer[00:00:56]
Our provisions to renew[00:01:00]
When they we spy a bold man of war[00:01:05]
She was making three feet to our two[00:01:09]
Oh she fired across our bows[00:01:32]
Heave to and don't refuse[00:01:36]
Surrender now unto my[00:01:40]
Command or else your lives you'll lose[00:01:44]
But our decks they were sputtered with blood and[00:01:49]
The cannons did loudly roar[00:01:54]
And broadside and broadside[00:01:58]
A long time we lay till we could fight no more[00:02:01]
And the thousand times I wished myself the way[00:02:07]
All alone with my Polly on the shore[00:02:14]
She's a tall and[00:03:56]
A slender girl with a dark and a rolling eye[00:03:58]
And here am I[00:04:06]
A bleeding on the deck and for a sweet saint must lie[00:04:08]
Farewell my family and my friends[00:04:15]
Likewise my barley too[00:04:19]
I'd never have crossed the salt sea wide[00:04:23]
If I'd have been ruled by you[00:04:28]
And the thousand times I saw myself again[00:04:33]
All alone with my Polly on the shore[00:04:39]
