[Verse 1]
There is a young maiden who lives all alone
She lives all alone on the shore-o
There's nothin' she can find to comfort her mind
But to roam all alone on the shore shore shore
But to roam all alone on the shore

[Verse 2]
T'was of the young captain who sailed the salt sea
Let the wind blow high blow lo-ow
"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"

[Verse 3]
Well I have lots of silver I have lots of gold
I have lots of costly ware-o
"I'll divide I'll divide with my jolly ship's crew
If they row me that maid on the shore, shore shore
If they row me that maid on the shore"

[Verse 4]
After much persuasion they got her aboard
Let the wind blow high blow lo-ow
They replaced her away in his cabin below
Here's adieu to all sorrow and care, care care
Here's adieu to all sorrow and care
[Verse 5]
They replaced her away in his cabin below
Let the wind blow high blow lo-ow
She's so pretty and neat, she's so sweet and complete
She sung captain and sailors to sleep, sleep sleep
She sung captain and sailors to sleep

[Verse 6]
Then she robbed him o' silver, she robbed him o' gold
She robbed him o' costly ware-o
Then took his broadsword instead of an oar
And paddled her way to the shore, shore shore
And paddled her way to the shore

[Verse 7]
"Well me men must be crazy, me men must be mad
Me men must be deep in despair-o
For to let you away from my cabin so gay
And to paddle your way to the shore, shore shore
And to paddle your way to the shore"

[Verse 8]
"Well your men was not crazy, your men was not mad
Your men was not deep in despair-o
I deluded your sailors as well as yourself
I'm a maiden again on the shore, shore shore
I'm a maiden again on the shore"
[Verse 1]
Well, there is a young maiden she lives all alone
She lives all alone on the shore-o
There's nothin' she can find to comfort her mind
But to roam all alone on the shore, shore shore
But to roam all alone on the shore
