May I Pass Fair Lady

May I pass fair lady, who holdeth the key

May I pass fair lady, who guardeth the sea

Let me stand on your shoulders 'til I find this I've lost

For the toll I will pay, no matter the cost

A man and his family had set out to sea

Bound for a land that promised liberty

From out of the west a storm cloud arose

Then over the side his poor family goes

May I pass fair lady, who holdeth the key

May I pass fair lady, who guardeth the sea

Let me stand on your shoulders 'til I find this I've lost

For the toll I will pay, no matter the cost

Now the man couldn't swim, he knew he would drown

He jumped to his death as they watched him go down

They threw him a line through the dark angry wind

But a woman and two children grabbed onto the end

May I pass fair lady, who holdeth the key

May I pass fair lady, who guardeth the sea

Let me stand on your shoulders 'til I find this I've lost

For the toll I will pay, no matter the cost

Now one life was lost from the promise he made

But the man kept his word for the toll was paid

Though a high price to pay to let them go free

But he bought and paid for their Liberty

May I pass fair lady, who holdeth the key

May I pass fair lady, who guardeth the sea

Let me stand on your shoulders 'til I find this I've lost

For the toll I will pay, no matter the cost
