fairport convention - sir patrick spens (2012) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the king sits in dunfermline town
drinking of the blood+red wine
“where can i get a steely skipper
to sail this mighty boat of mine?”

[verse 2]
then up there spoke a bonny boy
sitting at the king’s right knee
“sir patrick spens is the very best seaman
that ever sailed upon the sea”

[verse 3]
the king has written a broad letter
and sealed it up with his own right hand
sending word unto sir patrick
to come to him at his command

[verse 4]
“an enemy then this must be
who told a lie concerning me
for i was nevеr a very good seaman
nor evеr did intend to be”

[verse 5]
“last night i saw the new moon clear
with the old moon in her hair
that is a sign since we were born
that means there’ll be a deadly storm”
[verse 6]
they had not sailed upon the sea a day
a day but barely three
when loud and boisterous blew the wind
loud and noisy blew the sea

[verse 7]
then up there came a mermaiden
a comb and glass all in her hand
“here’s to you, my merry young men
for you’ll not see dry land again”

[verse 8]
“long may my lady stand
with a lantern in her hand
before she sees my bonny ship
come sailing homewards to dry land”

[verse 9]
forty miles off aberdeen
the water’s fifty fathoms deep
there lies good sir patrick spens
with the lords of scotland at his feet
