There Once Was A Pirate Lyrics - Duncan Sheik

There once was a pirate 

Who put out to sea 

His mates all around him 

No maiden on his knee 

Oh sail for a little 

A little little litte 

Oh sail for a little 

Til she finds him 

There once was a maiden 

Who wandered the mead 

To gather blue violets 

Her mama would need 

A wail through the willows 

All hollow through the willows 

Shell wail through the willows 

Til she finds him 

The sea was so violent 

The crew went below 

They begged him to join them 

But he would not go 

Oh sail a little little 

For just a little little 

Oh sail for a little 

Til she finds him 

Her heart was so laden 

She fell by a tree 

Sang of some pirate 

Who haunted the sea 

A wail through the willows 

All hollow through the willows 

Shell wail through the willows 

Til she finds him 

A wail through the willows 

(sail for a little) 

All hollow through the willows 

(the willow willows) 

Shell wail through the willows 

(sail for a little) 

Til she finds him 

Hell sail for a little 

A little little litte 

Hell sail for a little 

Til she finds him 

Hell sail for a little til she finds him
