歌词
The king sits in dunfermline town

Drinking the blood red wine

\"where can I get a good sea captain“

To sail in this ship of mine? \"
来航行我的船？”
Then up there spoke a bonny boy
然后有一个英俊的小伙子说话了
Sitting at the king's right knee,
他坐在国王的右膝边
\"sir patrick spens is the very best seaman“Patrick Spens
爵士是最优秀的水手
That ever sailed the sea.\"
在如今的航海者当中”
The king has written a broad letter

And sealed it up with his own right hand,
亲自用右手将信封上
Sending word to sir patrick spens让人送去给Patrick Spens
To come at his command
令他奉命前来
\"an enemy then this must be“
一定是有我的仇敌
Who told a lie bout me,
说了关于我的谎话，
For I was never a good seaman
因为我不是什么优秀的水手
Nor ever do I intend to be.\"

They had not sailed upon the sea他们（和Patrick Spens同行的苏格兰贵族们）未曾在海上航行过一天

When loud and boisterous grew the winds

And stormy grew the sea.

A comb and glass in hand,

For you'll not see dry land again!\"

With a lantern in her hand

Before she sees my bonny ship

Come sail homeward to dry land.\"

Oh Forty miles off aberdeen……
