Maiden's Folly

There was a lass from Kelethin
who loved a sailor boy
He filled her head with words of love
He filled her heart with joy

The boy proclaimed "Upon my word,
If you'll but be my wife,
I'll leave the sea, and start a farm
I'll settle down for life."

Hey diddle diddle!
Hey diddle diddle Hi!
Hey diddle diddle Hi Ho!
A sailor hears the Siren's song
And follow whe'er she goes.

That very night, the story goes
she gave her maiden charms
The moon their only witness
She lay within his arms

But a sailor is a wily type,
in truth he truly lied.
For his ship set sail with him aboard
Upon the morning tide.

Hey diddle diddle!
Hey diddle diddle Hi!
Hey diddle diddle Hi Ho!
A sailor hears the Siren's song
And follow whe'er she goes.

So girls, be warned upon my word
about a sailor's aims
Before you give yourself to him...
Lock Him Down In Chains!

Hey diddle diddle!
Hey diddle diddle Hi!
Hey diddle diddle Hi Ho!
A sailor hears the Siren's song
And follow whe'er she goes.
