I need some help with lyrics, please. The song is The Cabin Boy by The Furrow Collective It is based on this song The Little Cabin Boy, but the lyrics differ somewhat. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you. They seem to throw in the occasional Scottish dialect word. This is what I've managed to transcribe: [Verse] It's of a lady gay And a lady fair and bright She’s fallen in love with a little cabin boy And slighted Lord and Knight [Verse] “Will you tarry on shore with me, my boy Will you tarry on shore with me__?” “??? ??? ??? My mind is by the sea” [Verse] “Gin your love for me is great Mine is greater still But ye mon tae the captain gae And spiel for his goodwill” [Verse] So, she’s to the captain gae “Grant me my Will, said she Gie to me your little cabin boy To tarry on shore with me” [Verse] “And you a lady gay And you ask me for a boy Better it be some Lord or Knight Your sweet body to enjoy” [Instrumental] [Verse] So, she’s to her true love gane “Oh, ??? ???”, said she “The nearest and dearest of lovers we mon part And sae mon you and I” [Verse] Young Billy is on the sea And the waves tossed to-and-fro Crying like a little sea bird From east to west to go home [Verse] But they ??? ??? on the sea ??? ??? ‘Til the gallant ship and her men were lost And the galley were never seen more [Verse] It was in her garden green On green and grassy ground Early when her father he arose This lady’s body he found [Verse] Six maids dressed all in black And six dressed all in green Her ??? ??? For she died for her cabin boy sae young
