The Landlords Daughter Lyrics - Decemberists

As I was rambled 

Down by the water 

I spied in sable 

the landlord's daughter 

Produced my pistol, then my saber 

To make no whistle or thou will be murdered 

She cursed, she shivered 

She cried for mercy, 

"My gold and silver if thou will release me!" 

I'll take no gold miss, I'll take no silver 

I'll take those sweet lips, and I'll deliver 

[You'll Not Feel the Drowning]

I will dress your eyelids 

With dimes upon your eyes 

Laying close to water 

Green your grave will rise 

Go to sleep little ugly 

go to sleep you little fool 

Forty-winking in the belfry 

You'll not feel the drowning 

You'll not feel the drowning 

Forget you once had sweethearts 

They've forgotten you 

Think you not on parents 

They've forgotten too 

Go to sleep now little ugly 

go to sleep now you little fool 

Forty-winking in the belfry 

You'll not feel the drowning 

You'll not feel the drowning

Go to sleep little ugly 

Go to sleep little fool 

Forty-winking in the belfry 

You'll not feel the drowning 

You'll not feel the drowning 

Hear you now the captain 

Heed his sorrowed cry 

"Weight upon your eyelids 

As dimes laid on your eyes"
