The Maid On The Shore - Solas

There was a fair maiden she lived all alone

She lived all alone on the shore o

No one could she find

But to cover she'd mind

And to wander alone on the shore o

To wander alone on the shore o

There was a fine captain

Who sailed a fine ship

And the weather be steady and fair o

I shall die I shall die

The fair captain he cried

If I cant have that maid

On the shore shore shore

If I cant have that maid on the shore o "

After many persuasions

They brought her on board

They seated her down on a chair o

He invited her down to his cabin and o

Farewell to all sorrow and care o

Farewell to all sorrow and care o

I'll sing you a song

This fair maid did cry

The captain was leaping for joy o

She sang it so sweetly

So soft and completely

She sang the captain and sailors to sleep o

Captain and sailors to sleep o

She robbed them all to

Yes she robbed them off well

She robbed them of costly fine fare o

The captains broad sword she used as an oar

And she rode away back

To the shore shore shore

Rode away back to the shore o

O the men they were mad yes

The men they were sad

They were deeply sunk down in despair o

To see her go away with their booty so gay

With their rings and their things

And their fine fair robes

Their rings and their things

And their fine fair robes

O dont be so sad and sunk down in despair

Well you should have learned it before o

I sang you to sleep and i robbed you oh well

Well again im a maid

On the shore shore shore

Again im a maid on the shore o
