Song Lyrics

Verse 1
As I vas a-valking down by the seashore,
Vere the vinds and the vaves and the vaters did roar,
Vith the vinds and the vaves and the vaters all round,
I heard a young maid making sorrowful sounds.
Chorus
Singing - 'Oh, oh, my love is dead.
Him I adore. I shall never, no, never see my love more.'
Verse 2
She'd a voice light a nightingale, a skin like a dove,
And the song vat she sang it vas all about love;
I asked her to marry myself. Could she please?
But her answer vas, 'No! My love's in the seas.'
Chorus
Verse 3
I told her I'd silver and gold too beside,
And a coach and six horses, and vith me she could ride;
'No! I'll never vill marry, nor be any man's vife,
But be true to my love, as long as I have life.'
Chorus
Verse 4
The she stretched forth her arms and gave a great leap,
From the rocks vat vas high, to the sea vat vas deep,
Saying - 'The shells of the oysters shall make me a bed,
And the shrimps of the sea shall riggle raggle over my head.'
And the shrimps of the sea shall viggle vaggle over my head.'
Chorus
Verse 5
Now every night since, just at eight bells is seen -
Ven the moon vat is vite shines on the vaters vat is green,
These two constant lovyers with all their young charms,
Rolling over and over, locked in each other's arms.
Chorus
