| [00:14.84] |
There were three brothers in merry Scotland, |
| [00:18.91] |
In merry Scotland there were three, |
| [00:22.64] |
And they did cast lots which of them should go, |
| [00:26.71] |
should go, should go, |
| [00:29.77] |
And turn robber all on the salt sea. |
| [00:36.48] |
The lot it fell first upon Henry Martin, |
| [00:40.26] |
The youngest of all the three; |
| [00:44.04] |
That he should turn robber all on the salt sea, |
| [00:47.84] |
Salt sea, the salt sea. |
| [00:51.14] |
For to maintain his two brothers and he. |
| [01:06.50] |
He had not been sailing but a long winter's night |
| [01:10.49] |
And a part of a short winter's day, |
| [01:14.40] |
When he espied a stout lofty ship, |
| [01:17.96] |
lofty ship, lofty ship， |
| [01:21.21] |
Come abibing down on him straight way. |
| [01:29.83] |
Hullo! Hullo! cried Henry Martin, |
| [01:33.48] |
What makes you sail so nigh? |
| [01:37.14] |
I'm a rich merchant ship bound for fair London Town, |
| [01:40.79] |
London Town, London Town |
| [01:43.93] |
Would you please for to let me pass by? |
| [01:50.44] |
Oh no! Oh no! cried Henry Martin, |
| [01:54.15] |
That thing it never could be, |
| [01:57.72] |
For I have turned robber all on the salt sea |
| [02:01.99] |
Salt sea, the salt sea. |
| [02:05.16] |
For to maintain my two brothers and me. |
| [02:13.40] |
Come lower your topsail and brail up your mizz'n |
| [02:17.36] |
And bring your ship under my lee, |
| [02:21.08] |
Or I will give to you a full canon ball, |
| [02:24.51] |
Canon ball, canon ball, |
| [02:27.72] |
And all your dear bodies drown in the salt sea. |
| [02:36.46] |
Oh no! we won't lower our lofty topsail, |
| [02:40.46] |
Nor bring our ship under your lee, |
| [02:44.17] |
And you shan't take from us our rich merchant goods, |
| [02:47.93] |
Merchant goods, merchant goods |
| [02:51.53] |
Nor point our bold guns to the sea. |
| [03:06.65] |
Then broadside and broadside and at it they went |
| [03:10.44] |
For fully two hours or three, |
| [03:14.15] |
Till Henry Martin gave to them the deathshot, |
| [03:18.20] |
The deathshot, the deathshot, |
| [03:22.25] |
And straight to the bottom went she. |
| [03:32.49] |
Bad news, bad news, to old England came, |
| [03:36.48] |
Bad news to fair London Town, |
| [03:40.13] |
There's been a rich vessel and she's cast away, |
| [03:44.00] |
Cast away, cast away, |
| [03:49.45] |
And all of her merry men drown'd. |
