Sir William Gower (BBC Session - Folk On One 27/3/71) - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)[00:00:00]

I am a sailor both stout and strong[00:00:26]

To a goodly vessel I do belong[00:00:33]

Well carved and anchored and well equipped[00:00:40]

Sir William Gower's was a very fine ship[00:00:47]

Our captain in his cabin lay[00:00:54]

When a dreadful voice to him did say[00:01:01]

"This night with me in the deep you'll be[00:01:08]

So prepare yourself and your company"[00:01:15]

The sky grew dark and the sea grew still[00:01:22]

Bold men were fearful and the air was chill[00:01:29]

Sir William rose to meet his men[00:01:36]

Saying "Hear me now for I'll not speak again"[00:01:43]

"I loved my mother when she was alive[00:01:50]

And to my sister I gave babies five[00:01:56]

I killed my wife and her children three[00:02:04]

So I now must face what's come for me"[00:02:11]

"You'll lash a timber onto my side[00:03:13]

And throw me out on the water wide[00:03:19]

And if I swim then let me be[00:03:27]

But if I sink then pray for me"[00:03:34]

So we tied his head and we tied his feet[00:03:41]

And around his middle a winding sheet[00:03:48]

At every knot the sea did stir[00:03:55]

Grew ready for the murderer[00:04:02]

And then we saw his open grave[00:04:09]

In the likeness of a single wave[00:04:16]

That swept our ship from her stern to her bow[00:04:23]

And bore away Sir William Gower[00:04:30]
