Widow With A Shawl Words and Music by Donovan Leitch
{CRD file by Dennis McClain-Furmanski/dynasor@infi.net}
Am G Dear wind that shakes the barley free,
Am G G/F# Em Blow home my true love's ship to me, fill her sails.
Am G I a-weary wait upon the shore.
Am G Forsake her not in times of storm,
Am G G/F# Em protect her oaken beams from harm, fill her sails.
Am G I a-weary wait upon the shore.
Am G Whether he be in Africa
Am G G/F# Em Or deep asleep in India, fill his dreams,
Am G I a-weary wait upon the shore.
Am G Dear snow white gulls upon the wing,
Am G G/F# Em I, like you, are lamenting, for my love.
Am G I a-weary wait upon the shore.
Am G And in my chariot of sleep,
Am G G/F# Em I ride the vast and dreamy deep, deep sea.
Am G I awake a-weary on the shore.
Am G For seven years and seven days,
Am G G/F# Em no man has seen my woman's ways, dear God.
Am G I a-weary cry upon the shore.
Am G Along the shingle beach I go,
Am G G/F# Em
the wind about me as I make my way,
Am G to my weary dream upon my bed.
Am G Dear wind that shakes the barley free,
Am G G/F# Em Blow home my true love's ship to me, fill her sails.
Am G I a-weary wait upon the shore.
Am G I a-weary wait upon the shore.
