The Maid on the Shore  Stan Rogers






 


 THE MAID ON THE SHORE Time: 3/4 Tenor: G Bass: G


 - Stan Rogers, 1976, adapted from traditional Irish


 - Record: Stan Rogers, Fogarty's Cove


 


 INTRO: 2m, 2m


 


 There [2m]is a young [1]maiden, she [6m]lives all a-[2m]lone


 2m 1 6m *


 She lived all a-lone on the shore-o


 * 4 1 6m


 There's nothing she can find to comfort her mind


 But to [4]roam all a-[5]lone on the [4]shore, shore, [6m]shore


 2m 1 2m * * *


 But to roam all a-lone on the shore


 


 'Twas of the young Captain who sailed the salt sea


 Let the wind blow high, blow low


 I will die, I will die, the young Captain did cry


 If I don't have that maid on the shore, shore, shore ...


 


 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 cres


 If they row me that maid on the shore, shore, shore ...


 


 After much persuasion, they got her aboard


 Let the wind blow high, blow low


 They replaced her away in his cabin below


 Here's adieu to all sorrow and care, care, care ...


 


 They replaced her away in his cabin below


 Let the wind blow high, blow low


 She's so pretty and neat, she's so sweet and complete


 She's sung Captain and sailors to sleep, sleep, sleep ...


 


 Then she robbed him of silver, she robbed him of gold


 She robbed him of costly ware-o


 Then took his broadsword instead of an oar


 And paddled her way to the shore, shore, shore ...


 


 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 ...


 


 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 ...
