The king sits in dunfermline town |
| [00:13] |
Drinking the blood red wine |
| [00:15] |
\"where can I get a good sea captain“ |
| [00:18] |
To sail in this ship of mine? \" |
| [00:20] |
Then up there spoke a bonny boy |
| [00:23] |
Sitting at the king's right knee, |
| [00:25] |
\"sir patrick spens is the very best seaman“Patrick Spens |
| [00:28] |
That ever sailed the sea.\" |
| [00:30] |
The king has written a broad letter |
| [00:33] |
And sealed it up with his own right hand, |
| [00:36] |
|
| [00:38] |
To come at his command |
| [00:40] |
\"an enemy then this must be“ |
| [00:43] |
Who told a lie bout me, |
| [00:45] |
For I was never a good seaman |
| [00:48] |
Nor ever do I intend to be.\" |
| [01:01] |
|
| [01:03] |
A day, but barely three, |
| [01:06] |
When loud and boisterous grew the winds |
| [01:08] |
And stormy grew the sea. |
| [01:11] |
Then up there came a mermaiden |
| [01:13] |
A comb and glass in hand, |
| [01:16] |
\"here's a health to you my merry young men,“ |
| [01:18] |
For you'll not see dry land again!\" |
| [01:21] |
\"oh, long may my lady look“ |
| [01:23] |
With a lantern in her hand |
| [01:26] |
Before she sees my bonny ship |
| [01:28] |
Come sail homeward to dry land.\" |
| [01:35] |
Oh Forty miles off aberdeen…… |
| [01:37] |
The water's just fifty fathoms deep |
| [01:40] |
|
| [01:42] |
With the scots lords at his feet |
