THE MAID'S LAMENT

Where did you go,
my handsome Johnny?
Where did you go...?

Well you gone to the sea,
an yer far from me
an ye did it fur love an fur gold
an ye did it fur love an fur gold

And when you asked,
my handsome Johnny,
you asked and I told you a lie

I said “go, with my heart,
we ain’t never apart”
an the posies drift off with the tide
an the posies drift off with the tide

The PIRATES start to come on in the background, and lend their voices to the song. Wayne to choreograph.

So there you go,
my handsome Johnny,
there you go to the sea

An come heaven or hell,
pray the sea keeps you well,
and the waves ne’er tell you a lie,
pray the waves ne’er tell you a lie

An when the law
comes a-knockin, Johnny
... I’ll tell them the lie

He’s a murderin drunk
who don’t care for his Dorrie
an I ain’t seen him all o’ this time
nor hear word of ’im all of this time

But back you’ll come
my handsome Johnny
back you’ll come like a lie

And I’ll take you to bed
an to your young Dorrie
an I’ll kiss all yer runnin away
an I’ll kiss all yer runnin away

An in the end,
the gallows Johnny...
don’t you tell them no lie

Say yer goin’ to hell,
but take me as well

an carry me off
an carry me off

ye swing for your sins
but take yer young Dorrie

an carry me off with the tide

IF YOU DON'T DARN A SOCK

PIRATES : If you don't darn a sock
you get holes in your sock
If you don't clean the deck
You get a dirty deck

I think I got a needle
I'm banging out a weevil

In the end
When its all said and done
There are those that stay
And there are those that run
swinging by the mast

CORPSES : Re-united with our past

PIRATES : And the boat

CORPSES : Dub-e-du-dum
dub-e-du-dum

PIRATES : Sails on and on

CORPSES : Dub-e-du-dum
dub-e-du-dum

PIRATES : And you sink or swim

CORPSES : Dub-e-du-dum
dub-e-du-dum

PIRATES : or you stay and ...
run.

Black tom: Butchers and Bakers and sailors and traitors
and vagabonds all
crashing against your sea wall,
so it takes us
and breaks us and pulls me away from your shore
onwards and forwards and

on, to the sun, to the end of all time
running from running away
from the day at the end of our lives
follow me follows me

Chorus: Butchers and Bakers and sailors and traitors
and vagabonds all
crashing against your sea wall,
so it takes us
and breaks us and pulls me away from your shore
onwards and forwards and

on, to the sun, to the end of all time
running from running away
from the day at the end of our lives
follow me follows me
