Henry Martin

Mysterious专辑

  • There were three brothers in merry Scotland

    In merry Scotland there were three

    And they did cast lots which of them should go

    Should go, should go

    And turn robber all on the salt sea



    The lot it fell first upon Henry Martin

    The youngest of all the three

    That he should turn robber all on the salt sea

    Salt sea, the salt sea

    For to maintain his two brothers and he



    They had not been sailing but a long winter's night

    And a part of a short winter's day

    When he espied a stout lofty ship

    Lofty ship, lofty ship

    Come bibbing down on him straight way



    "Hello, hello", cried Henry Martin

    What makes you sail so nigh?

    I'm a rich merchant ship bound for fair London Town

    London Town, London Town

    Would you please for to let me pass by?



    "Oh no, oh no", cried Henry Martin

    This thing it never could be

    For I have turned robber all on the salt sea

    Salt sea, the salt sea.

    For to maintain my two brothers and me



    Come lower your tops'l and brail up your mizz'n

    And bring your ship under my lee

    Or I will give you a full cannon ball

    Cannon ball, cannon ball

    And all your dear bodies drown in the salt sea



    Oh no, we won't lower our lofty topsail

    Nor bring our ship under your lee

    And you shan't take from us our rich merchant goods

    Merchant goods, merchant goods

    Nor point our bold guns to the sea



    Then broadside and broadside and at it they went

    For fully two hours or three

    Till Henry Martin gave to them deathshot

    The deathshot, the deathshot

    And straight to the bottom went she



    Bad news, bad news to old England came

    Bad news to fair London Town

    There's been a rich vessel and she's cast away

    Cast away, cast away

    And all of her merry men drowned
