henry martin - marc gunn lyrics

Loading...

there were three brothers in merry scotland
in scotland there lived brothers three
and they did cast lots which of them should go
should go, should go
to turn robber all on the salt sea

the lot it fell upon henry martin
the youngest of all of the three;
that he should turn robber all on the salt sea
salt sea, salt sea
to maintain his two brothers and he

he had not been sailing but a long winter’s night
and part of a short winter’s day
when he espied a lofty, stout ship
stout ship, stout ship
come sailing down on him straight way

h*llo! h*llo! cried henry martin
what makes you sail so high?
i’m a rich mеrchant ship bound for fair london town
london town, london town
will you please for to let mе pass by?

oh no! oh no! cried henry martin
that thing it never can be
for i have turned robber all on the salt sea
salt sea, salt sea
to maintain my two brothers and me
so lower your topsail and braize up your mizz’n
and bow yourselves under my lee
or i shall give you a fast flowing ball
flowing ball, flowing ball
and your dear bodies will drown in the sea

with broadside and broadside and at it they went
for fully two hours and three
till henry martin gave to her the 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 was a rich vessel and she’s cast away
cast away, cast away
and all of her merry men drown’d
