[Verse 1]
The King sits in Dunfermline town
Drinking of the blood-red wine
"Where can I get a steely skipper
To sail this mighty boat of mine?"
[Verse 2]
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"
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
"An enemy then this must be
Who told a lie concerning me
For I was nevеr a very good seaman
Nor evеr did intend to be"
[Verse 5]
"Last night I saw the new moon clear
With the old moon in her hair
That is a sign since we were born
That means there'll be a deadly storm"
