Seafaring tale of an adventure afloat

lyrics

Blown Away
It was a Monday night, the moon was shining brght,
The winds had been a-blowin' all the day.
We were sittin' in a ring' an Lor', how we did sing
I reckon you'd ha' heard us cross the bay,
Lord, sung o- black-eyed Sue, who was so fond-an' true,
When-we hears a sort o' squlastin in the sea.
An a mermaid then we spied, scramblin up the starboard
side,
An' she tumbled on the deck in front o we.

the tears were on her cheek, she sobb'd an' couldnt,speak,
She show-d us her scaly tail was torn an scored
She clutch-d us one and all, an' she trembled like to fall
Then our cap n he upstood, so,noble, proud an good
An' the poor creature was at his knee
Ev'ry man is tree, be cries. where our colours fly


 I put my arms about her waist,
Her fears began now to subside,
I was about to kiss her ruby lips
When  a surging
r wave  dragged my bride to the rolling tide
Blown away
She was blown away from me
Blown away, I was blown away

All these nights
I have wept through watery eyes
I have gazed at the stars above
As I dream of you

Storms may rage
Remember me
We will live again my dear
At the bottom of the deep
