The King sits in Dunfirmline town

Drinking of the blood 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 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 old moon in her hair

And that is a sign since we were born

That means there 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 to you my merry young men

For you 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
