| Lyrics: | The Maid on the Shore
There was a fair damsel all crossed in love
And she fell very
deep in despair
All the way she could find to ease her sad mind
Was to walk all along on
the shore
O, the shore, to walk all along on the shore.
There was a sea-captain who
sailed the seas 'round
And he fell very deep into love-o
"I'll die, I'll die!" the
sea-captain cried
"If l can't get that maid on the shore,
O the shore, if l can't get that
maid on the shore"
"Your captain has jewels and your captain has gold
And your
captain has costly array-o
All these he'll give to his jolly seamen
If they'll bring him
that maid on the shore,
O the shore, if they'll bring him that maid on the
shore."
"Our captain has jewels, and our captain has gold.
And our captain has
costly array-o
All these he'll give, and we'll please it we can
And we'll bring him that
maid on the shore,
O, the shore, we'll bring him that maid on the shore."
After much
persuasion on board she did come
And the captain he set her a chair-o
He invited her down
to his cabin below
Singing, "Farewell, sorrow and care,
O care, farewell, sorrow and
care."
"I'll sing you a song if you all think it best"
And how she made them all
stare-o
She sang it so sweet, so neat and complete
That she sang all the seamen
asleep,
O asleep, sang all the seamen asleep.
She robbed them of jewels, she robbed
them of gold
She robbed them of costly array-o
Of the captain's broadsword, she made her
an oar
And she paddled her boat to the shore
O, the shore, she paddled her boat to the
shore.
"Oh, were my men sleeping, or were my men mad
Or were they sank in
despair-o?
She deluded my men and myself also
And again she's a maid on the shore,
O,
the shore, again she's a maid on the shore."
"Your men were not sleeping, your men were
not mad
Nor were they sank in despair-o
l deluded your men and yourself also
And
again I'm a maid on the shore,
O, the shore, again I'm a maid on the shore..'
