Polly On The Shore (Live At Fairfield Halls, 1973) - Fairport Convention

Written by:Dave Swarbrick/Traditional

Come all of you wild young men

And a warning take by me

Never lead your single life astray

Or into bad company

As I myself have done

Being all in the month of May

When I was pressed by a sea captain

A privateer to trade

To the east indies

We were bound to plunder the raging main

And it's many the brave and a galliant ship

We sent to a watery grave

Ah for free port we did steer

Our provisions to renew

When we did spy a bold man of war

Sailing three feet to our two

Oh she fired across our bows

Heave to and don't refuse

Surrender now unto my command

Or else your lives you'll lose

And our decks they were sputtered with blood

And the cannons did loudly roar

And broadside and broadside a long time we lay

Till we could fight no more

And a thousand times I wished myself again

All alone with my Polly on the shore

She's a tall and a slender girl

With a dark and a rolling eye

And here am I a bleeding on the deck

And for a sweet saint must lie

So farewell from my family and my friends

Likewise my poorly too

I'd never have crossed the salt sea wide

If I'd have been ruled by you

And a thousand times I saw myself again

All alone with my Polly on the shore
