Steven Sater - There Once Was a Pirate lyrics

There once was a pirate Who put out to sea His mates all around him No maiden on his knee Oh sail for a little A little little litte Oh sail for a little Til she finds him There once was a maiden Who wandered the mead To gather blue violets Her mama would need A wail through the willows All hollow through the willows She'll wail through the willows 'Til she finds him The sea was so violent The crew went below They begged him to join them But he would not go Oh sail a little little For just a little little Oh sail for a little 'Til she finds him Her heart was so laden She fell by a tree Sang of some pirate Who haunted the sea A wail through the willows All hollow through the willows She'll wail through the willows 'Til she finds him A wail through the willows (sail for a little) All hollow through the willows (the willow willows) She'll wail through the willows (sail for a little) 'Til she finds him He'll sail for a little A little little little He'll sail for a little 'Til she finds him He'll sail for a little 'til she finds him
