Sir William Gower Lyrics

	作词 : Traditional
	I am a sailor, both stout and strong
	To a goodly vessel I do belong
	Well guard and anchored and well equipped
	Sir William Gower and a very fine ship
	Our captain in his cabin lay
	When a dreadful voice to him did say
	"This night with me in the deep you'll be
	So prepare yourself and your company"
	The sky grew dark and the sea grew still
	Bold men were fearful and the air was chill
	Sir William rose to meet his men
	Saying "Hear me now for I'll not speak again"
	"I loved my mother when she was alive
	And to my sister I gave babies five
	I killed my wife and her children three
	So I now must face what has come for me"
	"You'll lash a timber close to my side
	And throw me out on the water wide
	And if I swim then let me be
	But if I sink then pray for me"
	So we tied his head and we tied his feet
	And around his middle a winding sheet
	At every knot the sea did stir
	Grew ready for the murderer
	And then we saw his open grave
	The likeness of a single wave
	That swept our ship from her stern to her bow
	And bore away Sir William Gower
