Just as the Tide Was A-Flowing

Lyrics

One morning in the month of May When all the birds were singing I saw a lovely lady stray Across the fields at break of day And softly sang a roundelay 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 me, me a bride Just as the tide was a-flowing" The tide flows in, the tide flows out Twice every day returning
