Ye Banished Privateers Fisher Lass song lyrics

Calm be the sea by morning's first light,

As birds wings in feathered flight

boldly stride gale an' gentle breeze

To earn a crust from hostile seas - from hostile seas

Birds castin' eye to the lass in the surge

weeping a solemn dirge.

her watery eyes doth tell no lies

her sorrow's seen clear from the skies - clear from the skies

Oh please my love come back to me,

godspeed my love, my dear.

I pray you will come back to me

Your lonely fisher lass.

Her lovers fate at tempests swirl

Thus grieve our fisher girl

the gulls they vow the oceans wide to scour

bringing her news in darkest hour - in darkest hour

Oh please my love come back to me,

godspeed my love, my dear.

I pray you will come back to me

Your lonely fisher lass.

By noon the stricken ship was found

halted and run aground.

On watered rocks that sharp as needles be honed

Lay fisher boy by death now be owned - by death now be owned

Oh please my love come back to me,

godspeed my love, my dear.

I pray you will come back to me

Your lonely fisher lass.

Her locket so proud around his neck

Now loosened by skillful peck

carried to the shore by solemn bill

To fisher lass who stands there still - Who stands there still

Oh please my love come back to me,

godspeed my love, my dear.

I pray you will come back to me

Your lonely fisher lass.

Come next morn, a single white cloth

cradled in oceans froth.

lovers by the cold dark waves now caressed,

all left behind a fisher lass' dress - a fisher lass' dress
