Sir Patrick Spens (Live In Maidstone, 1970) - Fairport Convention/Matthews Southern Comfort
Written by：Traditional
The king sat in Dunfermline town
Drinking of the blood red wine
Where can I get a good sea captain
To sail this mighty ship of mine
Then up there spoke a bonny 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 up 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 new moon
With the old moon in her arm
And that is the sign since we were born
That means there'll be a deadly storm
They had not sailed upon the sea
A day a day but barely three
When loud and boisterous grew the wind
And loud and stormy grew the sea
Then up there came a mermaiden
A comb and glass all in her hand
Health to you my merry young men
For you'll not see dry land again
Long may my lady start
With a lantern in her hand
Before she sees my bonny ship
Come sailing home wards to dry land
Forty miles off Aberdeen
The water's fifty fathoms deep
There lies good sir patrick spens
With the scots lords at his feet
