neither maid nor man - tarren lyrics

[verse 1]
first the tale of a handsome girl as you may understand
her mind was bent on rambling into some foreign land
she dressed herself in sailor’s clothes or so it did appear
she hired with a captain bold to serve him for a year
to serve him for a year

[verse 2]
next the tale of sally wise, her heart was filled with woe
her william had enlisted, for a soldier he did go
she dressed herself in man’s array, she cut hеr flowing hair
and showed the world all over that a soldiеr can be fair
a soldier can be fair

[chorus]
neither man nor maid am i
i’m neither maid nor man
to weave or drum, to sail or fight
i’ll prove to you i can
i’ll show you who i am

[verse 3]
thirdly of a pretty lad who would not beat the drum
adorned himself in garments gay, to london he did come
there he became apprenticed to a tailor proud and true
to work the weft into the warp and dress the finest few
to dress the finest few
[chorus]
neither man nor maid am i
i’m neither maid nor man
to weave or drum, to sail or fight
i’ll prove to you i can

[verse 4]
when i was approaching the age of twenty*five
from my heart i took a vow, the truth for all my life
i threw away my clothes and all, of gender i did speak
neither maid nor man am i and some call me a freak
yet others call me free

[chorus]
neither man nor maid am i
i’m neither maid nor man
to weave or drum, to sail or fight
i’ll prove to you i can
i’ll show you who i am
