Subject: Fine costly ware-O? From: Mrrzy Date: 24 Apr 02 - 03:25 PM I don't remember much of this one, I think I had it one one of those transluscent red vinyl albums by Richard Dyer Bennett, maybe? I think there is a sailor and a woman and she has the fine costly ware-O but it might be what she stole from him... Help? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fine costly ware-O? From: MMario Date: 24 Apr 02 - 03:50 PM Maid on the Shore - in DT The version I've clickied may not be quite what you remember - I think the version Pyrates Royale do may be closer. |
Subject: Lyr Add: MAID ON THE SHORE (sung by Stan Rogers) From: Charley Noble Date: 24 Apr 02 - 04:05 PM Mrzzy- the way Roll & Go does it is close to that of Stan Rogers. Runs like this:
The Maid on the Shore-II

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fine costly ware-O? From: Mrrzy Date: 24 Apr 02 - 04:21 PM These look close, but Charley, if you have the RdB version, yes, I'd like it. Thanks! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fine costly ware-O? From: Charley Noble Date: 24 Apr 02 - 07:47 PM Mzzy - can't find the song in his songbook or my re-issues of his recordings (#2 and #5) from Smithsonian. I'll check my parents' vinyl recordings on Saturday. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fine costly ware-O? From: Dave Bryant Date: 25 Apr 02 - 06:49 AM If you think about it "Maid on the Shore" is virtually the same story as "The Broomfield Wager" with a nautical setting. After all they're both about p***k-teasers. |
Subject: Lyr Add: THE MAID ON THE SHORE From: harpgirl Date: 28 Aug 04 - 12:07 AM I like this one: THE MAID ON THE SHORE Their was a fair maiden who lived all alone She lives all alone in the shore, oh And no one could she find that would calm her sweet mind But to wander alone on the shore shore shore To wander alone on the shore, oh Now there was a brave captain Who sailed a fine ship And the weather being steady and fare, oh I shall die I shall die this brave captain did cry If I can't have this maid on the shore shore shore If I can't have this maid on the shore, oh After many persuasions they brought her on board And the captain set down her a care oh He invited her down to his cabin below There was subtle farewell out of care, oh There was subtle farewell out of care, oh I'll sing you a song this fair maiden did cry And the captain was weeping for joy, oh She sang it so sweetly, so soft, so completely She sang captain and sailors to sleep, oh She sang captain and sailors to sleep, oh Well she robbed them of jewels and she robbed them of wealth She robbed them of fine costly fare,oh And the captain's broad sword she used as an oar And she rode herself back to the shore shore shore She rode herself back to the shore, oh Now the men they were mad, yet the men they were sad They were deeply sunk down in despair, oh To see her go way with her booty so gay With her rings and her things and her fine fare, oh her rings and her things and her fare, oh Oh do not be sad or sunk down in despair You should have known me before, oh I sang you to sleep and I robbed you of wealth And again I'm a maid on the shore shore shore And again I'm a maid on the shore, oh |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fine costly ware-O? From: Desert Dancer Date: 28 Aug 04 - 12:59 PM Harpgirl - please save us from random lyric posts! Who's your source of that set? Where do they say they got it from? Etc.! And in verse 2, wouldn't the weather be "fair" rather than "fare"? ~ Becky in Tucson |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fine costly ware-O? From: GUEST,JTT Date: 28 Aug 04 - 02:17 PM I assume there must be someone mulling over a modern version about a h4kr d00d being robbed of his warez-o? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fine costly ware-O? From: Desert Dancer Date: 03 Sep 04 - 12:23 AM refreshing for Harpgirl... ;-) |
