Gm
There once was a pirate
A
Who put out to sea
Gm
His mates all around him
A
No maiden on his knee
Cm
Oh sail for a little
Gm
A little little litte
A
He'll sail for a little
D
Til she finds him
[Verse 2]
Gm
There once was a maiden
A
Who wandered the mead
Gm
To gather blue violets
A
Her mama would need
Cm
A wail through the willows
Gm
All hollow through the willows
A
She'll wail through the willows
D
'Til she finds him
[Verse 3]
Gm
The sea was so violent
A
The crew went below
Gm
They begged him to join them
A
But he would not go
Cm
Oh sail a little little
Gm
For just a little little
A
Oh sail for a little
D
'Til she finds him
[Verse 4]
Gm
Her heart was so laden
A
She fell by a tree
Gm
Sang of some pirate
A
Who haunted the sea
Cm
A wail through the willows
Gm
All hollow through the willows
A
She'll wail through the willows
D
'Til she finds him
[bridge]
Gm
A wail through the willows
(sail for a little)
Cm
All hollow through the willows
(the willow willows)
A
She'll wail through the willows
(sail for a little)
D
'Til she finds him
[Outro]
Gm
He'll sail for a little
A
A little little little
Cm
He'll sail for a little
A
'Til she finds him
Gm A
He'll sail for a little 'til she finds him
