[Intro]
A G F
A G A
[Verse 1]
A
The king sits in Dumferling town
G A
Drinking the blood-red wine
A
"Where can I get a good Captian
G A
To sail this ship of mine?"
A
Then up and spoke a sailor boy
G G
Sitting at the king's right knee
A G
"Sir Patrick Spens is the best Captain
F A
That ever sailed to sea"
[Verse 2]
A
The king he wrote a broad letter
G A
And he sealed it with his hand
A
And sent it to Sir Patrick Spens
G A
Walking out on the strand
A
To Norway, to Norway, to Norway
G G
To Norway or the foam
A G
With all my lords and finery
F A
To bring my new bride home
[Verse 3]
A
The first line that Sir Patrick read
G A
He gave a weary sigh
A
The next line that Sir Patrick read
G A
A salt tear blinds his eye
A
"Oh, who is it, oh, who is it
G G
Who told the king of me
A G
To set us out this time of year
F A
To sail across the sea?
[Verse 4]
A
But rest you well, my good men all
