The Unthanks - Here's The Tender Coming lyrics

Here's the tender coming, pressing all the men Oh dear hinny, what shall we do then? Here's the tender coming off at Shield's Bar Here's the tender coming full of men of war Hide thee canny hinny, hide thyself away Hide thee till the frigate makes for Druridge Bay If they take thee Geordie who's to win our bread? Me and little Jackie better off be dead Here's the tender coming, stealing off my dear Oh dear hinny, they'll ship you out of here They will ship you foreign, that is what it means Here's the tender coming, full of red marines Hey bonny la**ie, let's go to the Lawe To see the tender lying off at Shield's Bar With her colours flying anchor at her bow They took my bonny laddie best of all the crew Here's the tender coming, pressing all the men Oh dear hinny, what shall we do then? Here's the tender coming off at Shield's Bar Here's the tender coming full of men of war Here's the tender coming, pressing all the men Oh dear hinny what shall we do then?
