Sails Of Silver |
| Fair maiden in the garden walking along |
| 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 |
| (Key change) Chorus 3x and fade |
