about

I did the cheapest thing that any folk singer could possibly do and ripped it wholesale off a Steeleye Span recording. - Rhiannon

lyrics

Oh the weary cutters and oh the weary sea
Oh the weary cutters have taken my laddie from me
They’ve pressed him far away foreign with Nelson all on the salt sea
Oh the weary cutters have taken my laddie from me

Oh the lousy cutters and oh the weary sea
Oh the lousy cutters have taken my laddie from me
They always come in the night; they never come in the day
They come in the night and steal the laddies away

Oh the weary cutters and oh the weary sea
Oh the weary cutters have taken my laddie from me
I’ll give the cutter a guinea; I can give the cutter no more
But I’ll give them a guinea to steal my laddie ashore
