The Maid On The Shore - Niamh Parsons[00:00:00]
O it’s of the sea captain who sailed the salt seas[00:00:01]
And the moon it shone gentle and clear o[00:00:06]
I will die, I will die, the bold Captain did cry[00:00:12]
If I can’t have the maiden who walks on the shore[00:00:16]
If I can’t have that maid on the shore[00:00:22]
So the sailors they got them a very long boat[00:00:27]
And it’s off for the shore they did steer o[00:00:31]
Saying Ma’am if you please will you enter on board[00:00:36]
To view a find cargo of costly ware[00:00:41]
To view a fine cargo of ware[00:00:45]
It was with much reluctance they got her on board[00:00:50]
And the moon it shone gentle and clear o[00:00:54]
And she sat herself in the stern of the boat[00:01:00]
And it’s off for the ship the bold sailors did steer[00:01:05]
And it’s off for the ship they did steer[00:01:09]
And when they had drawn along side of the ship[00:01:14]
Te captain he spat out his chew o[00:01:19]
Saying all of this night you will lie in my arms[00:01:23]
And then I’ll hand you back to my jolly young crew[00:01:28]
And I’ll hand you right back to my crew[00:01:32]
O thank you O thank you this young girl she said[00:01:37]
That is just what I’ve been waiting for[00:01:42]
For I’ve grown so weary of being a maid[00:01:47]
As I walk up and down on the rocky old shore[00:01:52]
As I walk up and down on the shore[00:01:57]
So she sat herself down in the stern of the ship[00:02:01]
And the moon it shone gentle and clear o[00:02:06]
And she sang so sweet genteel and complete[00:02:12]
She sang sailors and captain right off to sleep[00:02:17]
She sang sailors and captain to sleep[00:02:22]
And she’ robbed them of silver,[00:02:26]
she has robbed them of gold[00:02:29]
And she’s robbed them of all their fine ware o[00:02:31]
And the captain’s gold sword she has taken as an oar[00:02:36]
And she’s paddled right back to that rocky old shore[00:02:41]
And she’s paddled right back to that shore[00:02:45]
O were you men drunk or were you men mad[00:02:50]
Or were you sunk deep in despair o[00:02:54]
When you let her away with her beauty so gay[00:02:59]
And now she’s a maiden once more on the shore[00:03:04]
She’s a maiden once more on the shore[00:03:08]
No your men were not drunk and your men were not mad[00:03:13]
Nor were they sunk deep in despair o[00:03:17]
I deluded your crew and likewise yourself too[00:03:22]
And once more I’m a maid on that rocky old shore[00:03:27]
Once more I’m a maid on the shore.[00:03:32]
