10,000 Maniacs - Just as the Tide Was A-Flowing Lyrics

Artist: 10,000 Maniacs

Album: The Wishing Chair

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Natalie Merchant

On one morning in the month of May
When all the birds were singing
I saw a lovely maiden stray
Across the fields at break of day

She softly sung her roundelay
The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice every day returning

Her cheeks were red
Her eyes were brown
Her hair in ringlets hanging down
Upon her face to hide the frown

Just as the tide was a flowing
The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice every day returning

A sailor's wife at home must bide
She halted heavily she sighed
"He parted from poor me, a bride
I'm widowed by the sea" she cried

Just as the tide was a flowing
The tide flows in
The tide flows out
Twice every day returning
