Lo & the High Road - The Maid on the Shore Lyrics

There is a young maiden, she lives all alone
She lives all alone on the shore-o
There is nothing she can find to comfort her mind
But to roam all alone on the shore, shore, shore
But to roam all alone on the shore
T'was of the young captain who sailed the salt seas
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
If I don't have that maid on the shore
Well, 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 crew
If they row me that maid on the shore, shore, shore
If they row me that maid on the shore
After much persuasion they brought 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
Here's adieu to all sorrow and 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
She's sung captain and sailors to 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 away to the shore, shore, shore
And paddled away to the shore
Well, 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
And to paddle your way to the shore
Well, 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
I'm a maiden again on the shore
Well, there is a young maiden, she lives all alone
She lives all alone on the shore-o
There is nothing she can find to comfort her mind
But to roam all alone on the shore, shore, shore
But to roam all alone on the shore
