Child Ballads - Lyrics

1

There shall man to my ship
Till say ,
And my my lady;
Go to my bonny ship .

2

When was up at top- head
Around naething ,
But terrible storm the aboon,
And below the roaring sea.

3

'Come , come , my master,
You not what I ;
For thro an thro your bonny ship' side
see green sea.'

4

Lang will ladies look,
Wi gown-tails their crown,
Before Sir Patrick Spens
Sailing Dumferline .

1	There shall no man go to my ship Till I say mass and dine, And take my leave of my lady; Go to my bonny ship syne.
2	When he was up at the top-mast head Around could naething see, But terrible storm in the air aboon, And below the roaring sea.
3	'Come down, come down, my good master, You see not what I see; For thro an thro your bonny ship's side I see the green salt sea.'
4	Lang lang will the ladies look, Wi their gown-tails owre their crown, Before they see Sir Patrick Spens Sailing to Dumferline town.
