Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary
|
A tune that all can carry
|
Burly says if we don't sing
|
Then we won't have anything
|
All the boys on ship set sail
|
And the mate was Madeleine-Mary
|
When her eyes did fill with tears
|
It was extraordinary
|
It was extraordinary
|
For we none of us could see it
|
For she kept herself below
|
And all her feelings private
|
Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary
|
A tune that all can carry
|
Burly says if we don't sing
|
Then we won't have anything
|
None of us could get a glimpse
|
But all of us did want it
|
At night above our sleeping heads
|
Our sleeping dreams were haunted
|
So now my kids you'd like to hear
|
Of one who reached and got her
|
Well if there was well I think
|
He sleeps beneath the water
|
Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary
|
A tune that all can carry
|
Burly says if we don't sing
|
Then we won't have anything
|
