The Sailor’s Woe

Oh, when the sun dips low And the waves rise high Beware the maidan’s eyes She’ll come about on ye starboard side And take ye down with the tide. Yo! ho! the sailor’s woe From crow to shore The sirens show Wo! oh! with her eyes aglow She’ll take ye down below On the foam the sirens’ home is where we roam A sailor’s haul is lost to the squall But a sailor’s lost to the siren’s call Yo! ho! the sailor’s woe From crow to shore The sirens show Wo! oh! with her eyes aglow She’ll take ye down below From stern to bow Her wedding vow Lie your head in her seabed Ye may be dead Or ye may be wed But none has ever fled Yo! ho! the sailor’s woe From crow to shore The sirens show Wo! oh! with her eyes aglow She’ll take ye down below Yo! ho! the sailor’s woe From crow to shore The sirens show Wo! oh! with her eyes aglow She’ll take ye down below
