Bonnie Prince Billy

Bonnie Prince Billy - Madeleine Mary lyrics

Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary

A tune that all can carry

Burly says if we don't sing

Then we won't have anything

All the boys on ship set sail

And the mate was Madeleine-Mary

When her eyes did fill with tears

It was extraordinary

It was extraordinary

For we none of us could see it

For she kept herself below

And all her feelings private

Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary

A tune that all can carry

Burly says if we don't sing

Then we won't have anything

None of us could get a glimpse

But all of us did want it

At night above our sleeping heads

Our sleeping dreams were haunted

So now my kids you'd like to hear

Of one who reached and got her

Well if there was well I think

He sleeps beneath the water

Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary

A tune that all can carry

Burly says if we don't sing

Then we won't have anything
