Pentangle - A Maid That's Deep in Love lyrics
I am a maid that's deep in love But yes I can complain I have in this world but one true love And Jimmy is his name And if I do not find my love I'll mourn most constantly And I'll find and follow Jimmy through The lands of liberty So I'll put up my yellow hair Men's clothing I'll wear on I'll sign to a bold sea captain My passage I'll work free And if I do not find my love I'll mourn most constantly And I'll find and follow Jimmy through The lands of liberty One night upon the raging seas As we were going to bed The captain cried "Fare well my boy, I wish you were a maid! Your rosey cheeks, your ruby lips They are enticing me, and I wish dear God With all my heart a maid you were to me". Then hold your tongue dear captain Such talk is all in vain And if and the sailors find it out They'd laugh and make much game For when we reach Columbia shores Some prettier girls you'll find And you'll laugh and sing and you'll Court with them, for courting you are inclined. It was not 3 days after our ship it eached the shore Adieu my loving captain, Adieu forever more! For once I was a sailor on sea, but now I'm a maid on the shore So adieu to you and all of your crew with you I'll sail no more. "Come back, come back, my own pretty maid Come back and marry me" I have ten thousand pounds in gold and that I'll give to thee So come back, come back my own pretty maid, Come back and marry me!" |
