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."
