Widow With A Shawl

(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.
