Henry Martin

歌詞

There were three brothers in merry Scotland In merry Scotland there were three aye And they did cast lots which of them should go should go should go should go aye And to turn robber along the salt sea to turn pirate along the salt sea The lot it fell first to Henry Martin The younger of all the three that he should turn robber along the salt sea salt sea salt sea salty sea aye For to maintain his two brothers and he to maintain his two brothers and he He had not been sailing but a long winters night And part of a short winters day aye When he a-spied a stout lofty ship lofty ship lofty ship lofty ship aye Come a bibben down on him straight away Come a bibben down on him straight away Hello Hello cried Henry Martin What makes you sail so nigh-aye? Im a rich merchant ship bound for fair London town London Town London Town London Town-aye And will you not please for to let me pass by? Wont will you please for to let me pass by? Oh nay Oh Nay cried Henry Martin This thing it never can be aye For I have turned pirate along the salt sea salt sea salt sea salty sea aye for to maintain my two brothers and me to maintain my two brothers and me come lower your top sail and slacken your mizen and bring your ship under our lead aye or will we give to you a full cannon ball cannon ball cannon ball cannon ball aye and all your merry men drown in the sea all your merry men drown in the sea We wont lower our top sail nor slacken our mizen Nor bring our ship under your lead and you wont give us your full cannon ball cannon ball cannon ball cannon ball aye nor all our merry men drown in the sea all our merry men drown in the sea Then up him and at him and at him he went For fully two hours or three aye Til Henry Martin gave to them the death shot the Death shot aye And all the merry men drowned in the sea all the merry men drowned in the sea sad news sad news to old England came sad news to fair London town aye theres been a rich vessel and shes cast away cast away cast away cast away aye and all her merry men drowned in the sea all her merry men drowed in the sea all her merry men drowned in the sea all her merry men drowned in the sea
