Earl Patricke Spensse
SIR PATRICK SPENS—N
1
Ower and ower by AberdourThere's mony a cloudy stone,
And there is mony a gude lord's son
I fear will never come home.
2
Lang, lang will his lady look,Wi her baby in her arms,
But she'll never see Earl Patrick Spens
Com walkin up the stran.
3
‘I have a table in my room,It cost me guineas nine;
I wad sink it in the sea
For ae sight o dry lan.
4
‘There's a coat o green velvet on my back,I got it for my fee;
But tho I wad gie ten thousan punds,
Dry land I will never see.’
