Madeleine-Mary

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 kept 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
