Washed Ashore

Traditional

[Verse 1]
As a lady was walking down by the seaside
A poor drowned sailor she chanced there to spy
When first she saw the sailor he put her to a stand
For she knew it t'was her lover by the mark on his hand

[Verse 2]
She put her arms round him, she called him her dear
She wept and she kissed him ten thousand time o'er
Saying 'now I am resigned to lie by your side'
As she kissed his cold lips and heartbroken she died

[Verse 3]
In yonder green churchyard this couple was layed
And a stone for remembrance placed over their grave
Saying 'our joys they are all over all pleasures are fled
We shall lie here forever, the grave is our bed'
