Biography:
Brown Bird was a folk band which formed in 2003 in Seattle, Washington, United States, but was based in Warren, Rhode Island for much of its existence. The band's lineup changed often, revolving around founder David Lamb (vocals, guitar, multiple instruments). By 2010, the band consisted only of Lamb and MorganEve Swain (fiddle, bass, vocals), who were married in 2013. Lamb died on April 5, 2014 of complications from leukemia.

[Verse]
Am F E Am
Well we sail upon the ocean
Am F E Am
On the decks of the Mabel Grey
Am F E Am
And we search every port for a woman
Am F E Am
For the woman who bears our ship’s name
[Verse]
F E Am
We landed our ship in Malta
F E Am
And we looked for where good times are sold
F E Am
And I’ve never met women so pretty
F E Am
But I’ve never met women so cold
F E Am
As we sail upon the ocean
F E Am
On the decks of the Mabel Grey
F E Am
And we search every port for a woman
F E Am
For the woman who bears our ship’s name
[Verse]
F E Am
We landed our ship in England
F E Am
Cause we’d heard you’d been seen on their shores
F E Am
But the people all said to keep movin’
F E Am
That you were not allowed there no more
F E Am
So we sail upon the ocean
F E Am
On the decks of the Mabel Grey
F E Am
We search every port for a woman
F E Am
For the woman who bears our ship’s name

We have searched the world over to find you
E F E Am
And now that we have found you, you have changed
E Am E Am
We are still the same crew of berserkers
E F E Am
That you knew, but maybe just a little more strange
E Am E Am
We have searched the world over to find you
