Lyrics

Faded flags waved in icy wind

When his hand left my own

A cold parade marching to the docks

But I left my boy at home


"Please have pity on the sailors"

I asked the waves "have pity on the sailors"


Sing old women sing your songs

Let your voices sail on water

May they find a favourable wind

Sing old women sing


Leather hands sewing cotton sails

Oil heating on the stove

He went away as they all go 'way

As soon as they are grown


And outside the ocean is awake

The moon is rising and the ocean is awake


Sing old women sing your songs

Let your voices sail on water

May they find a favourable wind

Sing old women sing


My son kneels down by his bed at night

Outside the ocean cries

He'll go away as they all go 'way

There's ocean in his eyes


"Please have pity on the sailors"

Kneeling down he asks for pity on the sailors


I have buried no remains

The graveyard is empty

The ocean has plenty

What do I have left to show

But an empty bed

And a working stove


Sing old women sing your songs

Let your voices sail on water

May they find a favourable wind

Sing old women sing

Sing old women sing

Sing old women sing
