SIR PATRICK SPENS—M
1
There shall no man go to my shipTill 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 headAround 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 Dunferline town.
