'Twas / 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. / / /

I / have lots of / silver, I / have lots of / gold,
I / have lots of / costly ware - / o,
I'll di - / vide, I'll di - / vide, 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. / / / 

Aft - / er much per - / sua - / asion, they / got her a - / board,
Let the / wind blow / high, blow lo -/ ow,
They re - / placed her a - / way in his / cabin be - /low,
Here's a - / dieu to all / sorrow and / care, care, / care. /
Here's a - / dieu to all / sorrow and / care, / / /

They re - / placed her a - / way in his / cabin be - / low,
Let the / wind blow / high, blow lo - / ow,
She's so / pretty and / neat, she's so / sweet, and com - / plete,
She's sung / Captain and / sailors to / sleep, sleep, / sleep, /
She's sung / Captain and / sailors to / sleep. / / /

Then she / robbed him of / silver, she / robbed him of / gold
She / robbed him of / costly ware - / o,
Then / took his broad - / sword in - / stead of an / oar, and
Paddled her way to the / shore, shore, / shore, / and
Paddled her / way to the / shore. / / / / / / /

Well me / men must be / crazy, me / men must be / mad,
Me / men must be / deep in des - / pair - / o,
For to / let you a - / way from my / cabin so / gay, and
To / paddle your / way to the / shore, shore, / shore, / and
To / paddle your / way to the / shore, / / /

Your / men was not / crazy, your / men was not / mad,
Your / men was not / deep in des - / pair - / o,
I de - / luded your / sailors as / well as your - / self,
I'm a / maiden a - / gain on the / shore, shore, / shore, /
I'm a / maiden a - / gain on the / shore. / / /
