Martin Carthy And Dave Swarbrick - Our Captain Cried All Hands lyrics

Our captain cried all hands and away tomorrow, Leaving these girls behind in grief and sorrow. What makes you go abroad, fighting for strangers When you could stop at home, free from all dangers? "You courted me a while just to deceive me, Now my heart you have gained and you means to leave me." Saying, "There's no belief in men, not my own brother So girls if you can love, love one another." "When I had gold in store oh you did invite me And now I'm low and poor you seems to slight me." "Dry off your brandy tears and leave off weeping, For happy we shall be at our next meeting." "Oh I'll roll you in my arms, me dearest j**el, So stay at home with me and don't be cruel." She fell down on the ground like one was dying; This house was full of grief, sighing and crying. "Farewell me dearest friends, father and mother, I am your only child, and I have no brother. It's in vain to weep for me for I am going To where the lasting joy's with fountains flowing."
