《The Maid On The Shore》歌词

[00:00:00] The Maid On The Shore - Niamh Parsons

[00:00:01] O it’s of the sea captain who sailed the salt seas

[00:00:06] And the moon it shone gentle and clear o

[00:00:12] I will die, I will die, the bold Captain did cry

[00:00:16] If I can’t have the maiden who walks on the shore

[00:00:22] If I can’t have that maid on the shore

[00:00:27] So the sailors they got them a very long boat

[00:00:31] And it’s off for the shore they did steer o

[00:00:36] Saying Ma’am if you please will you enter on board

[00:00:41] To view a find cargo of costly ware

[00:00:45] To view a fine cargo of ware

[00:00:50] It was with much reluctance they got her on board

[00:00:54] And the moon it shone gentle and clear o

[00:01:00] And she sat herself in the stern of the boat

[00:01:05] And it’s off for the ship the bold sailors did steer

[00:01:09] And it’s off for the ship they did steer

[00:01:14] And when they had drawn along side of the ship

[00:01:19] Te captain he spat out his chew o

[00:01:23] Saying all of this night you will lie in my arms

[00:01:28] And then I’ll hand you back to my jolly young crew

[00:01:32] And I’ll hand you right back to my crew

[00:01:37] O thank you O thank you this young girl she said

[00:01:42] That is just what I’ve been waiting for

[00:01:47] For I’ve grown so weary of being a maid

[00:01:52] As I walk up and down on the rocky old shore

[00:01:57] As I walk up and down on the shore

[00:02:01] So she sat herself down in the stern of the ship

[00:02:06] And the moon it shone gentle and clear o

[00:02:12] And she sang so sweet genteel and complete

[00:02:17] She sang sailors and captain right off to sleep

[00:02:22] She sang sailors and captain to sleep

[00:02:26] And she’ robbed them of silver,

[00:02:29] she has robbed them of gold

[00:02:31] And she’s robbed them of all their fine ware o

[00:02:36] And the captain’s gold sword she has taken as an oar

[00:02:41] And she’s paddled right back to that rocky old shore

[00:02:45] And she’s paddled right back to that shore

[00:02:50] O were you men drunk or were you men mad

[00:02:54] Or were you sunk deep in despair o

[00:02:59] When you let her away with her beauty so gay

[00:03:04] And now she’s a maiden once more on the shore

[00:03:08] She’s a maiden once more on the shore

[00:03:13] No your men were not drunk and your men were not mad

[00:03:17] Nor were they sunk deep in despair o

[00:03:22] I deluded your crew and likewise yourself too

[00:03:27] And once more I’m a maid on that rocky old shore

[00:03:32] Once more I’m a maid on the shore.
