The Blackleg Miner lyrics

What is it makes her to weep and to moan?
I am as a tall sailing ship out on the sea,
Where only long breezes reach out to me.
Chorus: And I`ll set my sails of silver,
And I`ll steer towards the sun,
And you, false love, will weep for me
When I`m gone, when I`m gone, when I`m gone.
The maid in a garden, how can it be?
I`m staring seaward but what does she see?
A mast of the tall rowan tree, ropes of fine silk,
Decks holystoned shining whiter than milk.
Chorus: (2x)
[Key change] Chorus 3x and fade
