sail away
get off of my back
I don't want to offend you
my mind is weary and troubled deep
I want to go far away
where you can't find me
leave off
let me go astray

you cannot resemble
your face in the mirror
I saw you dancing
with the mermaids at sea
oh what a pitty
oh what a pitty
oh what a pitty it is

and now you're there in front of me
what can I say
oh dear, go away
I want to be alone
I don't want you near me
leave off
and leave me ashore

see what you made me do
I killed your brother
I saw him coming
and now he's gone
oh what a pity
oh what a pity
oh what a pity it is

oh what a pitty
ph what a pitty
oh what a pitty it is

sail away
get off of my back
I don't want you near me
oh dear, go away
