Текст (слова) песни: Fairport Convention - Polly On The Shore
Come all you wild young men and a warning take by me Never lead your single life astray or into bad company As I myself have done, being all in the month of May When I, as pressed by a sea captain, a privateer to trade To the East Indies we were bound to plunder the raging main And it`s many the brave and a galliant ship we sent to a watery grave Ah, for Freeport we did steer, our provisions to renew When we did spy a bold man-of-war sailing three feet to our two Oh, she fired across our bows, "Heave to and don`t refuse Surrender now unto my command or else your lives you`ll lose" And our decks they were sputtered with blood and the cannons did loudly roar And broadside and broadside a long time we lay till we could fight no more And a thousand times I wished myself alone, all alone with my Polly on the shore She`s a tall and a slender girl with a dark and a-rolling eye And here am I, a-bleeding on the deck and for a sweet saint must lie Farewell, my family and my friends, likewise my barley too I`d never have crossed the salt sea wide if I`d have been ruled by you And a thousand times I saw myself again, all alone with my Polly on the shore
