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.
