The Baron's wine was in decline as any servant could see Port of old like drops of gold from far off Burgundy And though he had a heavy hand when pouring out a glass He knew a thief has sought relief in the cellar of Newhall House "Who would steal the Baron's wine?", the aged man did roar Wondering how a thief got into his well-guarded store He heard a howl and kicked his loyal hound who whined for bread He said "as I live, I'll make sure that the thief will lose his head" Late one night a starry light engulfed all County Clare The Baron was awoken by a step upon the stair And though he hoped to find the thief behind the cellar door All he found were drops of red wine dotted on the floor With his dog and gun, the Baron did run across the moonlit fields Hoping that by morning light the thief's fate would be sealed But when he reached the Newhall banks, no trace he had yet found As seamews' laughter, loud and long, around him did resound The Baron was demented, vengeance foremost in his mind But with no culprit in his grasp, one evening he reclined He went into a slumber from which nothing could him wake Not even the sweet song sung by the lady of the lake In Newhall Lake there lived a lady, a sea maiden fair Her eyes were turquoise like the lake and dark brown was her hair Every night she'd plunder one of the Baron's wine kegs But it's easy to get legless when you don't have any legs One such night the sea maiden swam up from Newhall Lake And under cover of the night her journey she did make When she reached the cellar, the wine she began to consume Not seeing a grim shadow in the corner of the room The Baron drew his pistol and without haste he did fire And the sea maiden, she scarcely heard the power spark expire A canopy of misery descended on the room The Baron was alarmed to hear a seamew's scream of doom He caught of glimpse of snow-white arms plunging into the stream And that's the last of the sea maiden that ever was seen The Baron bragged of slaying a sea maiden, young and fair And if you don't believe me, ask the folks of County Clare
