The Merry Wives Of Windsor - The Hungry Sea
A tall bonnie sailor I did meet
But before my love could marry me
He heard the call of the hungry sea
And it's way ho way they ride up
With the sun and out with the tide
A harbor's a curse for a woman like me
When I give my love to the hungry sea
The wind did rise and the moon did glow
My tall bonnie sailor had to go
He bid farewell gave a kiss to me
And I lost my love to the hungry sea
And it's way ho way they ride up
With the sun and out with the tide
A harbor's a curse for a woman like me
When I give my love to the hungry sea
Well a sailor lives a damn tough life
But just think upon that sailor's wife
I say my prayers with my family
While my husband sails on the hungry sea
And it's way ho way they ride up
With the sun and out with the tide
A harbor's a curse for a woman like me
When I give my love to the hungry sea
★ Instrumental ★
Oh, the sailor come and the sailors go
And the girls are never given to know
If their love is false or if love is free
Or if love will fall to the hungry sea
And it's way ho way they ride up
With the sun and out with the tide
A harbor's a curse for a woman like me
When I give my love to the hungry sea
And it's way ho way they ride up
With the sun and out with the tide
A harbor's a curse for a woman like me
When I give my love to the hungry sea
