Lost Soul's Lament

There once was a lad, and a jolly little lad
And he lived at the bottom of the sea
He drank with his mates and played with shore bait
And his sea life was carefree

But a lady, wild dark-eyed lady
Abducted with paint on her hands
The lovers, twisting and moaning
Turned Neptune's course to the land

Each night they would tryst, and by the mor'ing mist
She swore she'd love him 'til death
And each night she would share if on land he would dare
To hold his sea breathing breath

But a lady, wild dark-eyed lady
Abducted with paint on her hands
The lovers, twisting and moaning
Turned Neptune's course to the land

Each night she would show and he waited to go
Rush to her wide open arms
The last night she did spend stealing a kiss
From a wench at the golden barn

But a lady, wild dark-eyed lady
Abducted with paint on her hands
The lovers, twisting and moaning
Turned Neptune's course to the land

As he lay on the sand, desperate for air
Drowning himself on the shore
He cursed her sweet face, and with his dying breath
He swore he'd love her no more
