10000 Maniacs - Just As The Tide Was A Flowing

on one morning
in the month of May
when all the birds
were singing

I saw a lovely maiden stray
across the fields at break of day
she softly sung her roundelay

the tide flows in
the tide flows out
twice every day returning

her cheeks were red
her eyes were brown
her hair in ringlets hanging down
upon her face to hide the frown

just as the tide was a flowing
the tide flows in
the tide flows out
twice everyday returning

a sailor's wife at home must bide
she halted heavily she sighed
"he parted from poor me , a bride
I'm widowed by the sea" she cried

just as the tide was a flowing

the tide flows in
the tide flows out
twice every day returning
10,000 Maniacs - Just as the Tide was Flowing

A folk tune revived by this 80s group who featured a young Natalie Merchant on vocals. The production is not good but the basic song and Natalie's singing save the day.
