This is a transcription of the Red-haired Maid lyrics, as it is sung in havens from Linhir to Umbar
In far Andrast lived a girl,
With a heart of fire and fire in her hair
She was so fair and full of grace
To set eyes on her a dangerous game
Forever charmed, your heart 'll be ensnared
And doom befell the town and the girl
To pillage to plunder, the corsairs they came
Burn, hack and ashes they left
The village no more, the girl made a slave
Sorrow and tears and her fiery hair
But Doom awaits to collect its share
The corsair captain, his heart was ensnared
His eyes once set on the fiery girl
And no blonde no brunette,
No dark skinned girl he wished again
Only to burn
In those lips of fire
In time two children, the red woman borne
The Corsair, their father all dance and joy
The children grew, the corsair went bald
And the fiery woman in ashes she turned
But Doom awaits to collect its share
A slave is a slave, even if she's dressed in silk
Dead mother, dead father,
Dead heart full of ill
The fire extinguished in the red haired girl
Only to drown
In a deep sea of tears
And doom befell the corsair and the girl
Lost at sea the two young men were
And sadness, it fell like snow
The fiery hair shone no more
Covered in white the one who was red
Freedom she had when she didn't cared
The bright red fire flickered away
And Doom awaits to collect what's due
No children, no wife
No laugh, no joy
The Corsair's spent, he lingers still
No dance, no joy
But red haired tears
