Sir William Gower - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)[00:00:00]

I am a sailor both stout and strong[00:00:30]

To a goodly vessel I do belong[00:00:37]

Well guard and anchored and well equipped[00:00:45]

Sir William Gower and a very fine ship[00:00:52]

Our captain in his cabin lay[00:00:59]

When a dreadful voice to him did say[00:01:06]

"This night with me in the deep you'll be[00:01:13]

So prepare yourself and your company"[00:01:20]

The sky grew dark and the sea grew still[00:01:28]

Though the men were fearful and the air was chill[00:01:35]

Sir William rose to meet his men[00:01:42]

Saying "Hear me now for I'll not speak again"[00:01:49]

"I loved my mother when she was alive[00:01:57]

And to my sister I gave babies five[00:02:04]

I killed my wife and her children three[00:02:11]

So I now must face what has come for me"[00:02:19]

"You'll lash a timber close to my side[00:03:23]

And throw me out on the water wide[00:03:30]

And if I swim then let me be[00:03:37]

But if I sink them pray for me"[00:03:45]

So we tied his head and we tied his feet[00:03:52]

And around his middle a winding sheet[00:03:59]

At every knot the sea did stir[00:04:07]

Grew ready for the murderer[00:04:14]

And then we saw his open grave[00:04:21]

The likeness of a single wave[00:04:28]

That swept our ship from her stern to her bow[00:04:35]

And bore away Sir William Gower[00:04:42]
