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 the 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 new 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 free When loud and boisterous blew the winds and loud and noisy blew the sea Then up there came a mermaiden, 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 bonny ship come sailing homeward to dry land" Forty miles off Aberdeen, the waters fifty fathoms deep There lies good Sir Patrick Spens with the Scots lords at his feet Related Lyrics Random lyrics: The Journeymans Grace, The Lobster, The Summer Before The War, The Widow Of Westmorlands Daughter, Three Drunken Maidens, Time Will Show the Wiser, To Althea from Prison, Walk Awhile, What Is True?, White Dress, Who Knows Where the Time Goes, Wizard Of The Worldly Game, Ye Mariners All, Alaska, Blood On The Pages, Burn Bridges Keep Warm, Casting Curses, Concrete Atlas, I Dread The Time When Your Mouth Begins To Call Me Hunter, I Dread The Time Your Mouth Beings To Call Me Hunt, If They Move Kill Them, Letter Of Intent, Lusitania, Mercer Island, Motion Sickness, Next Day Flight, Silent Jury, Slow To Standing, Soundtrack To The Ride, South St 1 Am, South Street 1AM, Still Paradise, The Culling Song, The Treachery Of Images, Welcome To Last Year, Whatever It Takes, Who Brings A Knife To A Gunfight, YoungBrashHopeful, A Dark Omen, Doryan The Enlightened, Fight For Your King, Guardian Stones, Of Wars In Osyrhia, On The Path To Fury, Rebirth, Ride With The Sun, The Fellowship, The Storyteller, 11, AEnglar Finns Dom, Other Fairport Convention song Lyrics A Sailors Life Lyrics After Halloween Lyrics Angel Delight Lyrics Autopsy Lyrics The Banks Of Sweet Primroses Lyrics Big William Lyrics Book Song Lyrics Bring em Down Lyrics Bring Em Down Lyrics Cajun Woman Lyrics Chelsea Morning Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Fairweather Lyrics Fairyland Lyrics Fairytale Lyrics Faith Lyrics Faith And The Muse Lyrics Faith Blind Lyrics Faith Evans Lyrics Faith Evans F/ 112 Lyrics Faith Evans F/ Carl Thomas Lyrics Faith Evans F/ Mary J.
