The Dark-haired Girl<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Chorus<\/strong>
\nI played with the young dark-haired girl
\nWhen I woke in the morning
\nI played with the young dark-haired girl<\/span><\/p>\n

I played with the long-haired girl
\nWhen everyone was asleep<\/span><\/p>\n

chorus<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I played when we woke
\nAnd when the sails were unfurled<\/span><\/p>\n

chorus<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday, after Sunday
\nWe left the Orkneys on the Seonaid<\/span><\/p>\n

chorus<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Reefs taken in and reefs shaken
\nWaves under her bow, and her booming and whistling<\/span><\/p>\n

chorus<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Across the straits of Rome
\nWe had to keep a tight grip on the boom<\/span><\/p>\n

chorus<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Across the narrow waters of France
\nShe was under control and the wind driving us<\/span><\/p>\n

chorus<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

She wouldn’t want a gift from a market
\nIf a crown was her share<\/span><\/p>\n

chorus<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Even if it were a crown of gold
\nShe wouldn’t want a gift brought home to her<\/span><\/p>\n
