    Story Behind the Song
    Traditional Celtic
    Captured in One take

    Lyrics
    There is a young maiden, who lives all alone
    She Lives all alone on the shore-o
    There is nothing she could find for to comfort her mind
    But to roam all alone on the shore the shore
    But to roam all alone on the shore

    'Twas of the young captain, who sailed the salt seas
    Let the wind blow high, blow low-o
    '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.'

    'I have lots of Silver. I have lots of Gold
    I have lots of costly ware-o's
    I'll divide I'll divide with my jolly ship's crew
    If you row me that maid on the shore, shore, shore
    If you row me that maid on the shore.'

    After much persuasion, they brought her aboard
    Let the wind blow high blow low-o
    Then they placed her away in his cabin below
    'Here's adieu to all sorrow and care and care." (2x)

    They placed her away in his cabin below
    Let the wind blow high blow low-o
    'She's so pretty and neat, she's so sweet and complete,
    She sung captains and sailors to sleep, sleep, sleep.' (2x)

    The she robbed them of silver, she robbed them of gold
    She robbed them of costly wares-o
    Then she took his broad sword, instead of an oar
    And paddled her way to the shore, shore, shore. (2x)

    'Oh me men must be crazy, me men must be mad?
    Me men must be deep in despair-o?
    To let you away from my cabin so gay
    And to paddle your way to the shore, shore, shore." (2x)

    'Your men were not crazy. Your men were not mad.
    Your men were not deep in despair-0
    I deluded your sailors as well as yourself
    I'm a maid once again on the shore, shore, shore
    And I'm a maid once again on the shore."
