Traditional
Drowned Maid
[Intro]
Die

[Verse 1]
I went to wash at the shore
I went to bathe in the sea
There I, a hen was lost

I, a bird, ultimately died

[Chorus 1]
Waters of the sea
So much blood of mine
Fishes of the sea
So much flesh of mine

[Chorus 2]
Let not my brother
Ever in this world
Water his warhorse
Upon the seashore

[Chorus 1]
Waters of the sea
So much blood of mine
Fishes of the sea
So much flesh of mine
[Chorus 2]
Let not my brother
Ever in this world
Water his warhorse
Upon the seashore

[Bridge]
Such death of the young maid
End of the fair little hen

[Chorus 2]
Let not my brother
Ever in this world
Water his warhorse
Upon the seashore

[Chorus 1]
Waters of the sea
So much blood of mine
Fishes of the sea
So much flesh of mine
