The Maid On The Shore

There is a young maiden, she lives all a-lone
 She lived all a-lone on the shore-o
 There's nothing she can find to comfort her mind
 But to roam all a-lone on the shore, shore, shore
 But to roam all a-lone on the shore
 '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 cres
 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 ...
