washed ashore - shirley collins lyrics

[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’
