The Fair Maid By The Sea Shore

There was a fair maiden
 Far crossed in love
 Far crossed in love as it were o
 Nothing could she find
 But to ease her fair mind
 Than to stray all along the sea shore
 Stray all along the sea shore
 There was a sea captain
 A ploughing the deep
 A ploughing the deep as is were o
 Nothing could he find
 But to ease his sad mind
 Than to sail all along the sea shore
 Sail all along the sea shore
 Oh I have got silver
 And I have got gold
 And I have got costly wares o
 All these I will
 Give to my jolly seamen
 If they'll bring this fair damsel on board
 Bring this fair damsel on board
 With many persuasions
 She came on board
 The captain he welcomed her there o
 He welcomed her down
 To his cabin below
 Saying fair thee well sorrow and care
 Fair thee well sorrow and care
 She sang him a song
 It was at his request
 She sang it so sweet and so fair o
 She sang it so sweet
 So neat and complete
 That she sang the sea captain to sleep
 Sang the sea captain to sleep
 Then she robbed him of silver
 She robbed him of gold
 She robbed him of costly wares o
 And the captain's broad sword
 She used for an oar
 As she paddled her boat to the shore
 Paddled her boat to the shore.
 Oh were my men sleeping
 Or were my men mad
 Or were my men sunk in despair o
 That the lady so gay
 Should thus run away
 When the captain he welcomed her there
 The captain he welcomed her there.
 No your men were not sleeping
 Your men were not mad
 Your men were not sunk in despair o
 I deluded your crew
 And likewise you too
 And again I'm a maid on the shore
 Again I'm a maid on the shore
