Happy Songs of Death words and music Marc Gunn 
I left my ship with storms on my mind, High wind and tossing seas. I sought a maid with soft green eyes To take my mind off me. 
Hai diddle-dai-dum Ba du diddle-dai-dum Ba du diddle-dai diddle-dai dee Hai diddle-dai-dum Ba du diddle-dai-dum Won't you come with me? 
I met a maid by waterside Gutting the herring clean. She took my hand, laid down her knife. Then we walked along the beach. Singing 
She set herself down on a rock And bade me sit at her feet. The sun settled down and the wind did blow The curlets across her cheek. We sang 
I took her gently in my arms Our bodies rolling in the sand. When she pulled the knife out of my side My body stopped lurching at last.
