[O sailor, come ashore]
O sailor, come ashore,
What have you brought for me?
Red coral, white coral,
Coral from the sea.
What have you brought for me?
Red coral, white coral,
Coral from the sea.
I did not dig it from the ground,
Nor pluck it from a tree;
Feeble insects made it
In the stormy sea.
Nor pluck it from a tree;
Feeble insects made it
In the stormy sea.
