Captain Ward歌词

Come all ye jolly mariners
That love to tak' a dram
I'll tell ye o' a robber
That o'er the seas did come.
He wrote a letter to his king
On the eleventh o' July
To see if he wad accept o' him
For his jovial company
"Oh na oh na," says the king
"Such things they canna be
They tell me ye are a robber
A robber on the sea."
He has built a bonnie ship
An' sent her to the sea
Wi' fower an' twenty mariners
To guard his bonnie ship wi'
They sailed up an' they sailed doon
Sae stately blythe an' free
Till they spied the king's high Reindeer
Like a leviathan on the sea
They fought from one in the morning
Till it was six at night
Until the king's high Reindeer
Was forced to tak' her flight
"Gang hame gang hame ye tinkers
Tell ye your king fae me
Though he reign king upon good dry land
I will reign king upon the sea."
