Madeleine Mary

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
