Kris Drever - Patrick's Spence lyrics
Sir Patrick Spence The king sits in Dunfermline town drinking his blood red wine Where can I get a mariner to sail seven ships of mine Then up spoke a fine young man a fine young man was he Sir Patrick Spence is the best mariner that ever sailed on the sea The king he’s written a broad letter and signed it with his own hand And sent it off to Sir Patrick Spence a waiting there on the strand The very fist line Sir Patrick he read a little loud laugh gave he The very last line Sir Patrick he read the salt near blind he e’e Oh who is it who has done this thing and told a tale on me I never was a mariner and I don’t intend to be A late yester’een I saw the new moon, the old moon in her arms Afear afear a deadly storm our ship she will come to harm Rise up rise up a fine men oh our ship will sail in the morn Whether it’s windy or whether it’s wet or whether there’s a deadly storm They hadn’t been sailing a league or more a league or barely nine When a wind and a wet and a cold and a snow came blowing up behind Oh where oh where’s the cabin boy to take the helm in hand While up go up to the top mast high and see if I can spy some land Come down come down Sir Patrick Spence for fear that we all must die For and out of the good ships hull the wind and the ocean vie (???) The very first step Sir Patrick he took, the water it came to his knees The very last step Sir Patrick he took he drowned there in the sea And many was the fine feather bed, floating on the foam And many was the little lords son that never more came home And long may the lady’s sit with their fans all in their hands Before they see Sir Patrick Spence come sailing along with strand It’s fifty miles to Aberdeen shores it’s fifty for Dundee There does lie Sir Patrick Spence with the little lords at his feet. |
