	Out Wading Through Mud on The Banks of the Kentish Shore Gathering Samphire to Cook on the Stove I Heard Across The Marshes a Voice I Had Known I Followed That Sound Through the Reeds Far From Home I Came to a Hut made from Oyster Shells and Herring Bones I Opened a door Inlayed with all Pearls I Was Bid to come enter But did not Enter Lightly As There Stood my Lover Dressed in Mud, Dressed in Mud She Held Me in Her Arms A Spectre was She, Dressed in Mud, Dressed in Mud A Spectre was She, Dressed in Mud, Dressed in Mud For My Lover Had Drowned in the River Last Spring Waiting for the Samphire Ashore I Would Bring She Beckoned Me Closer and asked me to Stay Where we could Lie Till the End of our Days In a Fisherman's Hut Made from Oyster Shells and Herring Bones Where our love turned to Mother of Pearl In a Fisherman's Hut Made from Oyster Shells and Herring Bones Where my love came to rest. She Held me in Her Arms.
