《Sir Patrick Spens (BBC Session - David Symonds 27/4/70)》歌词

[00:00:00] Sir Patrick Spens (BBC Session - David Symonds 27/4/70) - Fairport Convention (公平港口大会)

[00:00:24] The King sits in Dunfirmline town

[00:00:28] Drinking of the blood-red wine

[00:00:30] Where can I get a steely skipper

[00:00:33] To sail this might boat of mine

[00:00:48] Then up there spoke a bonny boy

[00:00:51] Sitting at the King's right knee

[00:00:54] Sir Patrick Spens is the very best seaman

[00:00:57] That ever sailed upon the sea

[00:01:00] The King has written a broad letter

[00:01:02] And sealed it up with his own right hand

[00:01:05] Sending word unto Sir Patrick to come

[00:01:08] To him at his command

[00:01:16] An enemy then this must be

[00:01:19] Who told the lie concerning me

[00:01:22] For I was never a very good seaman

[00:01:25] Nor ever do intend to be

[00:01:40] Last night I saw the new moon clear

[00:01:43] With the old moon in her hair

[00:01:46] And that is a sign since we were born

[00:01:48] That means there'll be a deadly storm

[00:01:52] They had not sailed upon the deep a day

[00:01:55] A day but barely free

[00:01:57] When loud and boisterous blew the winds

[00:02:00] And loud and noisy blew the sea

[00:02:25] Then up there came a mermaiden

[00:02:28] A comb and glass all in her hand

[00:02:31] Here's to you my merry young men

[00:02:34] For you'll not see dry land again

[00:02:43] Long may my lady stand with a lantern in her hand

[00:02:49] Before she sees my bonny ship

[00:02:52] Come sailing homeward to dry land

[00:02:55] Forty miles off Aberdeen the waters fifty fathoms deep

[00:03:00] There lies good Sir Patrick Spens

[00:03:03] With the Scots lords at his feet
