[00:00.00]Maid on the Shore - Eliza Carthy/The Ratcatchers
[00:00.58]There was a young maiden who lived all alone
[00:05.17]She lived all alone on the shore-o
[00:11.04]There was naught she could find that would comfort her mind
[00:15.36]But to roam all alone on the shore shore shore
[00:20.80]But to roam all alone on the shore
[00:25.51]There was a young captain who sailed the salt sea
[00:30.27]Let the wind blow high blow low
[00:36.28]Oh I'll die oh I'll die that young captain did cry
[00:40.56]If I dont get that maid on the shore shore shore
[00:46.04]If I dont get that maid on the shore
[00:50.75]I've got lots of silver I've got lots of gold
[00:55.26]And I've got lots of costly ware-o
[01:01.26]I'll divide I'll divide this young captain did cry
[01:05.70]If they'll bring me the maid from the shore shore shore
[01:11.13]If they'll bring me the maid from the shore
[01:15.83]So with long persuading they got her onboard
[01:20.65]Let the wind blow high blow low
[01:26.74]Then he seated her down in his cabin below
[01:30.97]There's a due toward sorrows and care care care
[01:36.61]There's a due toward sorrows and care
[01:41.33]The night being so still and the water so calm
[01:46.08]Let the wind blow high blow low
[01:51.97]She sang charming and sweet she sang neat and complete
[01:56.22]She sang sailors and captain to sleep sleep sleep
[02:01.79]She sang sailors and captain to sleep
[02:06.25]Then she robbed him of silver she robbed him of gold
[02:11.13]She robbed him of costly ware-o
[02:17.20]Then she stole his broad sword for to make her an oar
[02:21.43]And she rowed herself back to the shore shore shore
[02:27.09]And she rowed herself back to the shore
[02:31.84]Well were my men stupid or were my men drunk
[02:36.54]Or were my men deep in despair-o
[02:42.38]Oh to let you away with your beauty so gay
[02:46.59]For to roam once again on the shore shore shore
[02:52.13]For to roam once again on the shore
[02:56.68]No your men they weren't stupid your men they weren't drunk
[03:01.58]Your men weren't so deep in despair-o
[03:07.59]I deluded your sailors as well as yourself
[03:11.85]I'm a maiden once more on the shore shore shore
[03:17.33]I'm a maiden once more on the shore
