I shipped on board the Saladin; I shudder at her name. She was a Valparaiso boat bound to the Spanish Main. I shipped as cabin steward; that proved my fatal day When a demon came on board of us and led us all astray. He said he'd work his passage. The ship was homeward bound With copper ore and silver worth many thousand pounds. Besides, two cabin passengers on board of us did come: The one was Mr. Fielding and the other one was his son. Being on a Sunday morning I'm sorry to relate We started this desperate enterprise and first we killed our mate. And next we killed the carpenter and overboard him threw Our captain he did soon meet death with four more of our crew. An oath was next administered to all the rest of the crew, And like a band of brothers we were sworn to be true. Being on a Sunday morning when that bloody deed was done Then Fielding brought a Bible and swore in every one. The firearms and weapons all we threw into the sea. He said he'd steer for Newfoundland, to which we did agree We found with Captain Fielding (for which he lost his life) A brace of loaded pistols, likewise a carving knife. His son he begged for mercy for he was all alone, But his sad tale was soon cut short and overboard was thrown. We served him as his father who met a watery grave; We buried son and father beneath the stormy waves. And next it was agreed upon before the wind to keep. We had the world before us; we were on the trackless deep We ofttimes kept before the wind as we could do no more And on the twenty-ninth of May were shipwrecked on shore To Newgate we were taken, bound down in iron chain, Confessing to our deadly crimes and all whom we had slain. So fare you well, my parents dear, I'll never see you more So fare you well, my own sweetheart, you're the girl that I adore. Note: A true incident that happened in 1843. From Folk Songs of Canada, Fowkes. @sailor @mutiny @death filename[ SLDNMTNY play.exe SLDNMTNY RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Sammys Bar Or The Last Boats Aleavin, Sams Gone Away, Samuel Small Sam Hall, Samuel Young, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Santa Pause, Santiana, Sarnt Majors Balls, Satisfy Me, Saucy Sailor, Sauerkraut Cleaning The Refrigerator, Save The Best For The Last, Save Your Money While Youre Young, Scalloped Potatoes Round, Scarborough Fair, Scarlet Ribbons, Schooners At Digby, Scolding Wife, Scotch And Soda, Scotch On The Rocks, Scotland Anthem Text, Scotland The Brave, Scots Wha Hae, Scotsmans Kilt, Sea Fever, Sea Griever, Seachill, Seamens Hymn, Seasons Round, Seeds Of Love, Seeing Nellie Home, Sellotape Pipers, Senor Abate Round, Servant Of Rosemary Lane, Seven Daffodills, Seven Old Ladies, Seychelles Anthem Text, Seychelles Native Anthem Text, Shadow You Have Seen, Shadows and Lights, Shall We Gather At The River, Shallow Brown, Shannon And Chesapeake, Shanty Boy And The Farmers Son, Shape Of My Love, Share Me With Texas, She Did It To Me, She Moved Through The Fair, Shearing In The Bar, Shearins Nae For You My Bonnie Lassie O, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
