about

A song about a verrrrry successful female pirate without a ship.

lyrics

There was a fair maid and she lived all alone
She lived all alone on the shore oh
No one could she find for to calm her sweet mind
But to wander alone on the shore oh
There was a brave captain who sailed a fine ship
The weather being steady and fair oh
I shall die, I shall die, this captain did cry
if I can't have theat maid on the shore, shore, shore
If I can't have that maid on the shore oh
After many persuasions they brought her on board
He seated her down on his chair oh
He invited her down to his cabin below
Farewell to all sorrow and care oh
Fare well to all sorrow and care oh
I'll sing you a song this fair maid did cry
And the captain was weeping for joy oh
She sang it so sweetly, so soft and completely
She sang captain and sailors to sleep oh,
Captain and sailors to sleep oh
She robbed them of jewels she robbed them of wealth
She robbed them of costly find fare oh
The captain's broad sword she used as an oar
She rowed her way back to the shore, shore, shore,
She rowed her way back to the shore oh
Well don't be so sad and sunk down in despair
And you should have known me before oh
I sang you to sleep and I robbed you of wealth
And again I'm a maid on the shore, shore, shore,
Again I'm a maid on the shore oh.
