Lyrics

As I was a-walking down by the sea-shore
Where the wind whistled high, and the waters did roar
Where the wind whistled high, and the waves raged around
I heard a fair maid make a pitiful sound
Crying, "O my love is drowned
My love, must I deplore?
And I never, no never, shall see my love more."
I never a nobler, nor truer did see
A lion in courage, but gentle to me
With an eye like an eagle and a heart like a dove
And the songs that he sang me were ever of love
And now I cry, "O my love is drowned
My love, must I deplore?
And I never, no never, shall see my love more."
The loss of my sailor I deeply deplore
He is gone in the ocean, I'll see him no more
All the shells of the oysters shall be my love’s bed
And the fish in the sea shall swim over his head
And now I cry, "O my love is drowned
My love, must I deplore?
And I never, no never, shall see my love more."
He is sunk in the ocean, he lies there asleep
I will jump in beside him, I'll kiss his cold feet
I will kiss the pale lips once a coral-like red
And lie there beside him, for my true love is dead
And now I cry, "O my love is drowned
My love, must I deplore?
And I never, no never, shall see my love more."
