Generate meaning
1
There is a young maiden, she lives all a-lone
2
She lived all a-lone on the shore-o
3
There's nothing she can find to comfort her mind
4
But to roam all a-lone on the shore, shore, shore
5
But to roam all a-lone on the shore
6
'Twas of the young Captain who sailed the salt sea
7
Let the wind blow high, blow low
8
I will die, I will die, the young Captain did cry
9
If I don't have that maid on the shore, shore, shore...
10
I have lots of silver, I have lots of gold
11
I have lots of costly ware-o
12
I'll divide, I'll divide, with my jolly ship's cres
13
If they row me that maid on the shore, shore, shore...
14
After much persuasion, they got her aboard
15
Let the wind blow high, blow low
16
They replaced her away in his cabin below
17
Here's adieu to all sorrow and care, care, care...
18
They replaced her away in his cabin below
19
Let the wind blow high, blow low
20
She's so pretty and neat, she's so sweet and complete
21
She's sung Captain and sailors to sleep, sleep, sleep...
22
Then she robbed him of silver, she robbed him of gold
23
She robbed him of costly ware-o
24
Then took his broadsword instead of an oar
25
And paddled her way to the shore, shore, shore...
26
Me men must be crazy, me men must be mad
27
Me men must be deep in despair-o
28
For to let you away from my cabin so g**
29
And to paddle your way to the shore, shore, shore...
30
Your men was not crazy, your men was not mad
31
Your men was not deep in despair-o
32
I deluded your sailors as well as yourself
33
I'm a maiden again on the shore, shore, shore
