The King sits in Dunfirmline town
drinking of the blood red wine
Where can I get a steely skipper
to sail this might boat of mine
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
