[00:00.00]Polly On The Shore - Fairport Convention
[00:00.30]Written by：Dave Swarbrick/Traditional
[00:00.60]Come all you wild young men
[00:04.28]
[00:05.05]And a warning take by me
[00:08.88]
[00:09.96]Never lead your single life astray
[00:14.24]Or into bad company
[00:17.92]
[00:18.87]As I myself have done
[00:23.24]Being all in the month of May
[00:27.14]
[00:28.02]When I as pressed by a sea captain
[00:32.62]A privateer to trade
[00:36.98]
[00:39.14]To the east indies
[00:41.39]We were bound to plunder the raging main
[00:48.11]And it's many the brave and a galliant ship
[00:52.78]We sent to a watery grave
[00:57.04]Ah for free port we did steer
[01:01.56]Our provisions to renew
[01:05.77]
[01:06.35]When we did spy a bold man of war
[01:10.97]Sailing three feet to our two
[01:15.62]
[01:32.88]Oh she fired across our bows
[01:36.63]
[01:37.77]Heave to and don't refuse
[01:41.31]
[01:42.05]Surrender now unto my command
[01:46.67]Or else your lives you'll lose
[01:50.85]And our decks they were sputtered with blood
[01:55.07]And the cannons did loudly roar
[01:59.24]
[01:59.93]And broadside and broadside a long time we lay
[02:04.52]Till we could fight no more
[02:08.48]
[02:09.04]And a thousand times I wished myself alone
[02:15.03]
[02:15.61]All alone with my Polly on the shore
[02:22.23]
[04:00.93]She's a tall and a slender girl
[04:05.53]With a dark and a rolling eye
[04:10.25]And here am I a bleeding on the deck
[04:14.70]And for a sweet saint must lie
[04:18.64]
[04:19.14]Farewell my family and my friends
[04:23.14]
[04:23.65]Likewise my barley too
[04:27.05]
[04:27.95]I'd never have crossed the salt sea wide
[04:32.70]If I'd have been ruled by you
[04:36.92]And a thousand times I saw myself again
[04:43.08]
[04:43.62]All alone with my Polly on the shore
