Spanish Main Lyrics - Fairport Convention

I have a tale of deceit and anger 

How love's young hope can twist bitterly 

A girl who [Incomprehensible] and her handsome sailor 

Their dreams of livin' across the sea 

Amelia walked down along the harbor 

Her dainty step on the cobbled street 

She smiled too sweet at the handsome sailors 

Till young guns laid, as she chanced to be 

And he fell in love with her so completely 

He could think of nothing for weeks to come 

And one time held her, so indiscreetly 

Her lips they parted in the setting sun 

Now, I have to leave on the flagship Lester 

For gold and honor I hope to gain 

But you have my heart while the sea's in motion 

And I am sailin' on the Spanish Main

If you will wait and attend the weather 

My own intentions I will make plain 

For us to wed and to sail together 

And make our home across the Spanish Main 

She held his hand like she'd held no other 

And she gazed with longin' into his eyes 

But her heart held tight to it's own dark secret 

Which, if he knew it he would sure despise 

For she given her love to her own landlord 

In who's cabin she'd hoped to abide 

And he'd seen her meet with this handsome sailor 

Steal a kiss on the evening tide 

And it burned like a fire inside him 

And a towering rage now around him grew 

He shouted up to the stormy heavens 

He vowed he'd find them both and burn them through 

Photos 

He tracked them down where the ship was lying 

The cold steel flashed with a glittering pain 

Their arms and twines they lay still and dying 

Cut short their promise of the Spanish Main
