Am C Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary Dm Am A tune that all can carry Am C Burly says if we don't sing Dm Am Then we won't have anything Am C All the boys on ship set sail Dm Am & the mate was Madeleine-Mary Am C When her eyes did fill with tears Dm Am It was extraordinary Am C It was extraordinary Dm Am For we none of us could see it Am C For she kept herself kept below Dm Am & all her feelings private Am C Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary Dm Am A tune that all can carry Am C Burly says if we don't sing Dm Am Then we won't have anything Am C None of us could get a glimpse Dm Am But all of us did want it Am C At night, above our sleeping heads Dm Am Our sleeping dreams were haunted Am C So now my kids you'd like to hear Dm Am Of one who reached & got her Am C Well if there was well I think Dm Am He sleeps beneath the water Am C Sing a song of Madeleine-Mary Dm Am A tune that all can carry Am C Burly says if we don't sing Dm Am Then we won't have anything Very cool "sailor song" from Will Oldham's 1999 album I See A Darkness.
