[00:14.84]There were three brothers in merry Scotland, [00:18.91]In merry Scotland there were three, [00:22.64]And they did cast lots which of them should go, [00:26.71]should go, should go, [00:29.77]And turn robber all on the salt sea. [00:36.48]The lot it fell first upon Henry Martin, [00:40.26]The youngest of all the three; [00:44.04]That he should turn robber all on the salt sea, [00:47.84]Salt sea, the salt sea. [00:51.14]For to maintain his two brothers and he. [01:06.50]He had not been sailing but a long winter's night [01:10.49]And a part of a short winter's day, [01:14.40]When he espied a stout lofty ship, [01:17.96]lofty ship, lofty ship, [01:21.21]Come abibing down on him straight way. [01:29.83]Hullo! Hullo! cried Henry Martin, [01:33.48]What makes you sail so nigh? [01:37.14]I'm a rich merchant ship bound for fair London Town, [01:40.79]London Town, London Town [01:43.93]Would you please for to let me pass by? [01:50.44]Oh no! Oh no! cried Henry Martin, [01:54.15]That thing it never could be, [01:57.72]For I have turned robber all on the salt sea [02:01.99]Salt sea, the salt sea. [02:05.16]For to maintain my two brothers and me. [02:13.40]Come lower your topsail and brail up your mizz'n [02:17.36]And bring your ship under my lee, [02:21.08]Or I will give to you a full canon ball, [02:24.51]Canon ball, canon ball, [02:27.72]And all your dear bodies drown in the salt sea. [02:36.46]Oh no! we won't lower our lofty topsail, [02:40.46]Nor bring our ship under your lee, [02:44.17]And you shan't take from us our rich merchant goods, [02:47.93]Merchant goods, merchant goods [02:51.53]Nor point our bold guns to the sea. [03:06.65]Then broadside and broadside and at it they went [03:10.44]For fully two hours or three, [03:14.15]Till Henry Martin gave to them the deathshot, [03:18.20]The deathshot, the deathshot, [03:22.25]And straight to the bottom went she. [03:32.49]Bad news, bad news, to old England came, [03:36.48]Bad news to fair London Town, [03:40.13]There's been a rich vessel and she's cast away, [03:44.00]Cast away, cast away, [03:49.45]And all of her merry men drown'd.
