I was loved and I was wanted I was needed in my home But I left it and my family To go wandering on my own I wanted to go anywhere I wanted just to see The lands between my own until I reached the shining sea Shallow grave, shallow grave This is what I've come to Shallow grave When I reached the sea I stayed there For want of nothing new Till a press man thought to press me To go wandering on the blue It's a hard life for a sailor Working for his Majesty But you're fed and you are watered And there's always company Shallow grave, shallow grave This is my legacy Shallow grave But I couldn't stop my wandering So in Portsmouth I jumped ship Wandered far from sea and sailing The hills of Wales to trip There they say that I did murder There they say I killed a man But he drew his knife afore me Bloody murder was his plan Shallow grave, shallow grave This my only bequest Shallow grave Well I found that I was hunted By his royal majesty And no matter where I wandered He was always chasing me So I found the disaffected Or more likely they found me And I found that I was suited To a life of robbery Shallow grave, shallow grave You alone are my gift Shallow grave So they sent some men to take me Put a price upon my head With a further purse of coin For to bring it in quite dead So my friend you caught me sleeping With a pistol in your hand No escape from justice this time Nor pity for a naked man Shallow grave, shallow grave Will you lower me in Shallow grave Now I must be on my travels Though I see that yours are done And the shallow grave I gave you Must one day become my own Shallow grave, shallow grave One more time I escape Shallow grave
