Sir Patrick Spens Lyrics by Robert Lucas Pearsall

0

The King sits in Dunfermline town
Drinking the blood-red wine
"O! where shall I get a captain bold
To sail this new ship of mine?"
Then up and spake an eldern knight
Sat at the King's right knee:
"Sir Patrick Spens is the best sailor
That ever sail'd the sea."
The King has written a broad letter
And seal'd it with his hand
And sent it to Sir Patrick Spens
Who was walking on the strand
"To Noraway, to Noraway
To Noraway o'er the foam
The Princess fair of Noraway
'Tis thou must bring her home."
"O! who is it has done this deed
And told the King of me?
To send us out at this time of thе year
To sail upon the sea!"
Thеy had not sail'd a league,a league
A league but barely three
When the sky grew dark, and the wind blew loud
And gurly grew the sea
The anchors break, the top masts lap
'Twas such a deadly storm
And the waves come o'er the broken ship
Till all her sides were torn
The ladies wrang their fingers white
The maidens tore their hair;
All for the sake of their true loves
For them they'll see no more
O! forty miles from Aberdeen
'Tis fifty fathom deep
And there lies brave Sir Patrick Spens
With his comrades at his feet
