john wesley harding - william glenn (live) كلمات الأغنية
[intro]
the following song includes the word “bosun.”
[verse 1]
well, it’s of a ship and a ship of fame
launched off the stocks, bound to sail the main
with a hundred and fifty brisk young men
well picked and chosen, every one
and william glenn was the captain’s name
he was a fine and a tall young man
as fine a sailor as sailed the sea
and we were sailing to new barbary
[verse 2]
on the first of april, then we set sail
blessed with a fine and a prosperous gale
and we were bound for new barbary
with all of our whole ship’s company
and we hadn’t been sailing a league or two
when all of our whole ship’s jovial crew
well, they all fell sick but sixty_three
and we were sailing to new barbary
[verse 3]
one night the captain, he did dream
that a voice came to him and it said to him
“beware yourself and your company
for tomorrow night you must lie with me”
this woke the captain in a terrible fright
it being the third watch of the night
and aloud to the bosun then he did call
and to him told his secrets all
[verse 4]
“bosun,” he said, “it grieves my heart
to think that i played a villain’s part
but a man i slew in staffordshire
all for the sake of his lady fair
and it’s of the ghost of that that i am afraid
that has in me such terror bred
so keep the secret within your breast
pray to the lord that he gives you rest”
[verse 5]
oh, we hadn’t been a_sailing a league or three
when raging grew the roaring sea
there rose a tempest up in the sky
which did our seamen much surprise
and the main mast sprung at the break of day
that made our rigging all but to give way
and did our seamen sore afright
the terrors of that awful night
[verse 6]
and then the bosun he did declare
that the captain was a murderer
this so enraged the whole ship’s crew
that overboard our captain threw
our treacherous captain he being gone
immediately there came a calm
and the winds abated, so did the sea
and we went sailing to new barbary
[verse 7]
and when we got to the spanish shore
our good little ship for to repair
the people there were amazed to see
our dismal case and such misery
now seamen all, wherever you may be
i beg you take a warning from me
as you love your life, won’t you have a care
and never go sailing with a murderer
[outro]
