27 Jun 00 - 03:10 PM (#247937) Subject: Sailors lament From: GUEST,Wullie I posted some words a little while ago, Nick has supplied me with some more words, I hope someone can supply the rest. I first heard the song performed by two Canadian girls at Bracknell folk festival in 78/79 ish. I've been onto the festival people who don't have programmes for those years so I can't find out who they were. However the song sticks in my mind even after all these years.
One fine summer day, a woman went walking
Oh, Madam, I am a lonely sailor It goes on whereby she takes advantage of him he goes on to lament this fact saying that his parents would be shamed to know what he had done. Something along the lines of
And he arose and cried in anguish, I seem to recall a verse after this saying
So she's lifted him up in both her arms After waiting for over 20 years I would dearly love to find all the words, any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

I haven't heard or read this song as far as I can remember but I wonder, if you switched the gender it might be more familiar to some. The words that are there could easily be altered and could have been altered by a couple of female singers to suit what they were performing. |
