It's of a sea captain that ploughs the salt seas,
Where the seas they were fine, calm and clear,
A beautiful damsel I chanced for to spy,_
A-walking along on the shore, shore,
A-walking along on the shore.
Where the seas they were fine, calm and clear,
A beautiful damsel I chanced for to spy,_
A-walking along on the shore, shore,
A-walking along on the shore.
0 what will I give to my sailors so bold,
Ten guineas I vow and declare,
If you'll fetch me that lady on board of my ship,
That walks all alone on the shore etc.
Ten guineas I vow and declare,
If you'll fetch me that lady on board of my ship,
That walks all alone on the shore etc.
The sailors they hoisted out a very long boat
And then to the shore they did- steer,
Saying: Ma'am, if you please will you enter on board
And view a fine cargo of ware.
And then to the shore they did- steer,
Saying: Ma'am, if you please will you enter on board
And view a fine cargo of ware.
I have no money, the lady replied,
For to buy such costly ware.
Don't never mind that now, the sailors replied;
We'll trust you till you get on shore.
For to buy such costly ware.
Don't never mind that now, the sailors replied;
We'll trust you till you get on shore.
She sat herself down in the stern of the boat
And straight to the ship they did steer,
And when they arrived alongside of the ship,
The captain he ordered a chair for her,
The captain he ordered a chair.
And straight to the ship they did steer,
And when they arrived alongside of the ship,
The captain he ordered a chair for her,
The captain he ordered a chair.
She sat herself down in the stern of the ship
Where the seas they were fine, calm and clear.
She sang the sea-captain and his crew asleep,
And her conjuring voice didn't spare, I declare,
And her conjuring voice didn't spare.
Where the seas they were fine, calm and clear.
She sang the sea-captain and his crew asleep,
And her conjuring voice didn't spare, I declare,
And her conjuring voice didn't spare.
She loaded herself up with riches so great
And all such costly wear.
The captain's broadsword she took for an oar
And she paddled away to the shore.
And all such costly wear.
The captain's broadsword she took for an oar
And she paddled away to the shore.
