Stan Rogers - The Maid On The Shore Lyrics

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
