Lyrics for Sir Patrick Spens by Fairport Convention:
| | | Artist: | Fairport Convention |
| | Album: | Full House | | Track: | Sir Patrick Spens | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 299 | | | | Lyrics: | The King sits in Dunfirmline town, drinking of the blood-red wine
"Where can I get a steely
skipper to sail this might boat of mine?"
Then up there spoke a bonny boy, sitting at the
King's right knee
"Sir Patrick Spens is the very best seaman that ever sailed upon the
sea"
The King has written a broad letter and sealed it up with his own right
hand
Sending word unto Sir Patrick to come to him at his command
"An enemy then this
must be who told the lie concerning me
For I was never a very good seaman, nor ever do intend
to be"
"Last night I saw the new moon clear with the new moon in her hair
And that
is a sign since we were born that means there'll be a deadly storm"
They had not sailed
upon the deep a day, a day but barely free
When loud and boisterous blew the winds and loud and
noisy blew the sea
Then up there came a mermaiden, a comb and glass all in her
hand
"Here's to you my merry young men for you'll not see dry land again"
"Long may
my lady stand with a lantern in her hand
Before she sees my bonny ship come sailing homeward to
dry land"
Forty miles off Aberdeen, the waters fifty fathoms deep
There lies good
Sir Patrick Spens with the Scots lords at his feet | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
