Wishing Chair - Goody Hallett lyrics

They took the last man from the sea But I swore I would never go I knew she'd taken my love from me Taken him down below The first time I saw his raven hair It was tied with a small dark bow Four pistols he wore in his velvet coat I never saw a man so bold He said my name is Samuel Bellamy Prince of all I obtain Then he leaned and whispered in my ear Girl tell me your name We tarried in the Wellfleet shops And down in Eastham town Then he asked my father if I could wed But my father turned him down Says there's talk you left A wife and babe Back in Cheltenham But Sam he stared him in the eyes He said, I'll take her and I can Then Sam and Palgrave Williams heard Of galleons from Spain Laden with gold and indigo Lost in a hurricane So Sam set his mind on treasure to Salvage from the sea He said, I'll go and find the tallest ship And I'll bring it back for thee We said goodbye along the cliffs And we made love fierce and wild Then he took our plans He took my soul And he left me with his child Yes a boy was born But soon he died And they put me in their jail They called me witch And they called me who*e But I kept watch for his sails It was early that April morn The sky was red and grey But black that day soon became That stole my love away Yes her mast was cracked Her hull was split But I could hear the Whydah's bell And she rang out the last Sounds of hope My true loves farewell Now I walk the cliffs And curse the sea And every wind that blows For the happiness we almost had Now I will never know
