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.
