Primeiro acorde: Am 5 acordes identificados
capo 2.
Am E Am
There were three brothers in merry Scotland,
In merry Scotland there were three,
And they did cast lots which of them should go,
should go, should go,
Am C G Am
And turn robber all on the salt sea.
Am E Am
The lot it fell first upon Henry Martin,
The youngest of all the three;
That he should turn robber all on the salt sea,
Salt sea, the salt sea.
Am C G Am
For to maintain his two brothers and he.
Am E Am
They had not been sailing but a long winter's night
And a part of a short winter's day,
When he espied a stout lofty ship,
lofty ship, lofty ship,
Am C G Am
Come abibbing down on him straight way.
Am E Am
Hullo! Hullo! cried Henry Martin,
What makes you sail so nigh?
I'm a rich merchant ship bound for fair London Town,
London Town, London Town
Am C G Am
Would you please for to let me pass by?
Am E Am
Oh no! Oh no! cried Henry Martin,
This thing it never could be,
For I have turned robber all on the salt sea
Salt sea, the salt sea.
Am C G Am
For to maintain my two brothers and me.
Am E Am
Come lower your tops'l and brail up your mizz'n
And bring your ship under my lee,
Or I will give to you a full cannon ball,
cannon ball, cannon ball,
Am C G Am
And all your dear bodies drown in the salt sea.
Am E Am
Oh no! we won't lower our lofty topsail
Nor bring our ship under your lee,
And you shan't take from us our rich merchant goods,
merchant goods, merchant goods
Am C G Am
Nor point our bold guns to the sea.
Am E Am
Then broadside and broadside and at it they went
For fully two hours or three,
Till Henry Martin gave to them the deathshot,
the deathshot, the deathshot,
Am C G Am
And straight to the bottom went she.
Am E Am
Bad news, bad news, to old England came,
Bad news to fair London Town,
There's been a rich vessel and she's cast away,
cast away, cast away,
Am C G Am
And all of her merry men drown'd.
