Testo Sir Patrick Spens - Fairport Convention
Testo della canzone Sir Patrick Spens (Fairport Convention), tratta dall'album Full House (Bonus Track Edition)
The king sits in Dunfermline town
Drinking of the blood red wine
Where can I get a steely skipper
To sail this mighty boat of mine?
Then up there spoke a bonnie 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 off 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 a 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 old 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 three
When loud and boisterous blew the winds
And loud and noisy flew the sea
Then up there came a mermaid den
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 bonnie ship
Come sailing homewards to dry land
Fourteen miles off Aberdeen
The water's fifty fathoms deep
There lies good Sir Patrick Spens
With the Scots lords at his feet
