Sir Patrick Spens - Martin Carthy[00:00:00]

Oh the king sits in Dunfermline town[00:00:22]

A drinking the blood red wine[00:00:24]

Says where will I get me a brave young skipper[00:00:27]

Sail this ship of mine[00:00:30]

And up and spoke an old old man[00:00:33]

Who sat at the king's right knee[00:00:36]

He says Patrick Spens is the very best sailor[00:00:38]

Who ever did sail on the sea[00:00:41]

So the king he has written him a long long letter[00:00:44]

Sealed it with his hand[00:00:47]

And he sent it along to Patrick Spens[00:00:49]

Who was walking down on the sand[00:00:52]

And the very first line that Patrick read[00:00:55]

So loud so loud laughed he[00:00:58]

And the very next line that Patrick read[00:01:00]

Down he fell to his knee[00:01:03]

Oh who is this who has done this deed[00:01:05]

Telling the king on me[00:01:09]

For to send us out this time of the year[00:01:11]

To sail on the salt salt sea[00:01:14]

To Norway to far Norway[00:01:17]

To Norway over the foam[00:01:20]

It is the king's daughter of far Norway[00:01:22]

And we must bring her home[00:01:25]

Now they set sail with all good speed[00:01:39]

On a Monday in the morn[00:01:41]

And they have arrived far over the sea[00:01:44]

On a Wednesday in the eve[00:01:47]

And they'd not been in far Norway[00:01:50]

A week but barely three[00:01:53]

When all those lords of far Norway[00:01:55]

Began out aloud for to say[00:01:58]

Oh you Scots foreigners spend our king's gold[00:02:00]

Swallow up our money[00:02:04]

Oh weary weary the tongue that lies[00:02:06]

See how it lies on thee[00:02:09]

Make ready ready my good men all[00:02:12]

The little ship sails in the morn[00:02:15]

Be it wind be it wet be it hail be it sleet[00:02:17]

Be it fair or deadly storm[00:02:20]

But up and spoke our own weatherman[00:02:23]

I fear we'll all be drowned[00:02:26]

For I saw the new moon late last night[00:02:28]

The old moon in her arm[00:02:31]

And they'd not sailed a league and a league[00:02:34]

A league but barely three[00:02:37]

When through and through the little ship's side[00:02:39]

Spied the green walled sea[00:02:42]

Oh where will I get me a brave young boy[00:02:45]

Take my helm in hand[00:02:48]

While I climb up to the tall topmast[00:02:50]

See can I spy land[00:02:53]

And he'd not gone a step and a step[00:02:56]

A step but barely one[00:02:59]

When the whirling winds and the ugly jaws[00:03:01]

Came a driving to their shin[00:03:04]

Oh fetch me a web of the silken cloth[00:03:07]

Another web of the twine[00:03:10]

And lay them around our little ship's side[00:03:12]

Let not the sea come in[00:03:15]

And they got a web of the silken cloth[00:03:18]

Another web of the twine[00:03:21]

And they laid them around the little ship's side[00:03:23]

Still the sea come in[00:03:26]

Oh the anchor snapped the topmast cracked[00:03:29]

It was a deadly storm[00:03:31]

And the whirling winds and the ugly jaws[00:03:34]

Came a driving to their chin[00:03:37]

And there came a gale from the north north east[00:03:39]

So loud so loud it weep[00:03:42]

It cried Patrick Spens and all of his men[00:03:45]

Are drowning in the deep[00:03:48]

And loath loath were the good Scots lords[00:04:12]

To wet their shining shoes[00:04:15]

But long and ere this day was done[00:04:17]

Their hats were soaking through[00:04:20]

And many were the fine feather bed[00:04:23]

Flattering over the foam[00:04:26]

And many were the good lords' sons[00:04:28]

Never never more come home[00:04:31]

And long long will the ladies sit[00:04:34]

Their gold combs in their hand[00:04:37]

Before they see sir Patrick Spens[00:04:39]

Come a sailing to dry land[00:04:42]

Oh it's east by north from Aberdour[00:04:45]

It's fifty fathom deep[00:04:48]

And it's there it lies Patrick Spens[00:04:50]

The Scots lords at his feet[00:04:53]
