Twelve silk handkerchiefs She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs one for each month of the year For the twelve holy fishermen keeping her loved ones from fear For the wives and the mothers of justice who stood at her arm And one for each angel preparing her last journey home She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs one for each hour of the day And one for each hour of the night when her man was away For the twelve christmas days that her boy was out trawling the sea And the years of the sickness her daughter endured silently She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs for those who stood by her she’d say And one for each year since the last working ship sailed away For the women and orphans so cruelly bereaved by the sea And the tears of the few who will stand at her graveside and weep She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs all for the company men In their temples of greed she battled and beat in the end And for all of the men and the boys who are called by the sea She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs to bring them home safely to thee She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs one for each month of the year For the twelve holy fishermen keeping her loved ones from fear And for all of the men and the boys who are called by the sea She bought twelve silk handkerchiefs to bring them home safely to thee |
