Henry Martin - Burl Ives (布勒·埃夫斯)[00:00:01]
Written by:Cochran[00:00:02]
There were three brothers in Merry Scotland[00:00:57]
In Merry Scotland there were three[00:01:02]
And they did cast lots which of them should go[00:01:06]
Should go should go[00:01:10]
And turn robber all on the salt sea[00:01:14]
The lot it fell upon Henry Martin[00:01:22]
The youngest of all the three[00:01:27]
That he should turn robber all on the salt sea[00:01:31]
The salt sea the salt sea[00:01:35]
For to maintain his two brothers and he[00:01:39]
He had not been sailing but a long winter's night[00:01:46]
Part of a short winter's day[00:01:51]
Before he espied a stout lofty ship[00:01:55]
Lofty ship lofty ship[00:02:00]
Come abiding down on him straight way[00:02:04]
Hullo hullo cried Henry Martin[00:02:12]
What makes you sail so nigh[00:02:16]
I'm a rich merchant ship bound for fair London town[00:02:20]
London town London town[00:02:25]
Will you please for to let me pass by[00:02:29]
Oh no oh no cried Henry Martin[00:02:37]
That thing it never can be[00:02:41]
For I have turned robber all on the salt sea[00:02:45]
Salt sea the salt sea[00:02:50]
For to maintain my brothers and me[00:02:53]
Then lower your topsail and bottom your mizzen[00:03:00]
Bow yourselves under my lee[00:03:04]
Or I shall give to you a fast flowing ball[00:03:08]
Flowing ball flowing ball[00:03:13]
And your dear bodies drown in the salt sea[00:03:16]
With broadside and broadside and at it they went[00:03:23]
For fully two hours or three[00:03:28]
Till Henry Martin gave to her the deathshot[00:03:32]
The deathshot the deathshot[00:03:36]
And straight to the bottom went she[00:03:40]
Bad news bad news to Old England came[00:03:49]
Bad news to Old London town[00:03:53]
There's been a rich vessel and she's cast away[00:03:58]
Cast away cast away[00:04:03]
And all of the Merry men drowned[00:04:06]
