Joan Baez - Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands lyrics

[intro] We sailed out of Dunmore Michelmas gone by Cowhides and wool and live cargo Twenty young Wild Geese ready fledged to fly Sailing for the lowlands low [Chorus] The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing for the lowlands low [verse] Sean Rouse the skipper from the church of Crook Piery keeps log for his father Crew all from Bannow, Fethard and the Hook Sailing for the lowlands low [Chorus] The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing for the lowlands low [verse] Ready with priming we'd our galliot gun Muskets and pikes in good order We should be riddled captives would be none d**h or else the lowlands low [Chorus] The lowlands low, the lowlands low d**h or else the lowlands low [verse] A pirate approached us many leagues from shore We fought and we sunk him in good order He'll go a-roving plundering no more Sailing for the lowlands low [Chorus] The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing for the lowlands low [verse] We smuggled out the Wild Geese weapons safe ashore Then we unloaded our cargo A fair wind is blowing we're headed for Dunmore Sailing from the lowlands low [outro] The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing from the lowlands low The lowlands low, the lowlands low Sailing from the lowlands low
