Shirley Collins - Washed Ashore lyrics
Your rating:
As a lady was walking down by the seaside A poor drowned sailor she chanced there to spy When first she saw the sailor he put her to a stand For she knew it t'was her lover by the mark on his hand She put her arms 'round him, she called him her dear She wept and she kissed him ten thousand time o'er Saying 'now I am resigned to lie by your side' As she kissed his cold lips and heartbroken she died In yonder green churchyard this couple was layed And a stone for remembrance placed over their grave Saying 'our joys they are all over all pleasures are fled We shall lie here forever, the grave is our bed'
