Lady Of The Sea

We're sailing to the sound of the mighty Seth Lakeman. Here's his "Lady Of The Sea", which was inspired by a Cornish ship wreck in 1780 at Gunwalloe Cove. People still dive there for her treasure.

"Out of the moonlight in the month of May/ This ship would take her last breath.
Her full mast it was draping/Like a mermaid she was dressed.
When the news returned to the town/ Every maid sat on the pier,
With lovers lost and fathers never found/ For now that mermaid's dressed in tears."
