Sir William Gower(Live) - Fairport Convention [00:00:01]

I am a sailor both stout and strong[00:00:27]

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[00:01:00]

This night with me in the deep you'll be[00:01:07]

So prepare yourself and your company[00:01:13]

The sky grew dark and the sea grew still[00:01:20]

Bold men were fearful and the air was chill[00:01:27]

Sir William rose to meet his men[00:01:34]

Saying hear me now for I'll not speak again[00:01:40]

I loved my mother when she was alive[00:01:47]

And to my sister I gave babies five[00:01:54]

I killed my wife and her children three[00:02:01]

So I now must face what's come for me[00:02:07]

You'll lash a timber onto my side[00:03:07]

And throw me out on the water wide[00:03:13]

And if I swim then let me be[00:03:21]

But if I sink then pray for me[00:03:27]

So we tied his head and we tied his feet[00:03:34]

And around his middle a winding sheet[00:03:41]

At every knot the sea did stir[00:03:48]

Grew ready for the murderer[00:03:55]

And then we saw his open grave[00:04:02]

In the likeness of a single wave[00:04:08]

That swept our ship from her stern to her bow[00:04:15]

And bore away Sir William Gower[00:04:22]
