《Sir Patrick Spens》歌词

[00:00:00] Sir Patrick Spens (帕特里克·斯彭斯先生) - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)

[00:00:24] The king sat in Dunfermline town

[00:00:27] Drinking of the blood red wine

[00:00:29] "Where can I get a good sea captain

[00:00:32] To sail this mighty ship of mine "

[00:00:47] Then up there spoke a bonny boy

[00:00:49] Sitting at the king's right knee

[00:00:52] "Sir Patrick Spens is the very best seaman

[00:00:56] That ever sailed upon the sea"

[00:00:58] The king has written a broad letter

[00:01:01] And sealed it up with his own right hand

[00:01:04] Sending word unto Sir Patrick

[00:01:06] To come to him at his command

[00:01:15] "An enemy then this must be

[00:01:18] Who told a lie concerning me

[00:01:20] For I was never a very good seaman

[00:01:23] Nor ever do intend to be"

[00:01:37] "Last night I saw the new new moon

[00:01:40] With the old moon in her arm

[00:01:43] And that is the sign since we were born

[00:01:46] That means there'll be a deadly storm"

[00:01:49] They had not sailed upon the sea

[00:01:51] A day a day but barely three

[00:01:54] When loud and boisterous grew the wind

[00:01:57] And loud and stormy grew the sea

[00:02:22] Then up there came a mermaiden

[00:02:25] A comb and glass all in her hand

[00:02:28] "health to you my merry young men

[00:02:31] For you'll not see dry land again"

[00:02:40] Long may my lady look

[00:02:43] With a lantern in her hand

[00:02:45] Before she sees my bonny ship

[00:02:48] Come sailing home wards to dry land"

[00:02:51] Forty miles off Aberdeen

[00:02:54] The water's fifty fathoms deep

[00:02:57] There lies good Sir Patrick Spens

[00:02:59] With the Scots lords at his feet
