Am                           E         Am 
There were three brothers in merry Scotland, 
             Dm              C  E 
In merry Scotland there were three, 
    Am                                                                  
And they did cast lots which of them should go, 
       Dm         C E 
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, 
                Dm      C  E  
The youngest of all the three; 
     Am 
That he should turn robber all on the salt sea, 
     Dm            C  E 
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 
                Dm             C  E  
And a part of a short winter's day, 
     Am 
When he espied a stout lofty ship, 
      Dm          C  E 
lofty ship, lofty ship, 
Am    C            G               Am 
Come abibbing down on him straight way. 

Am                  E     Am 
Hullo! Hullo! cried Henry Martin, 
               Dm      C  E  
What makes you sail so nigh? 
      Am 
I'm a rich merchant ship bound for fair London Town, 
       Dm           C  E 
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, 
              Dm          C  E  
This thing it never could be, 
    Am 
For I have turned robber all on the salt sea 
     Dm            C  E 
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 
                    Dm       C  E  
And bring your ship under my lee, 
   Am 
Or I will give to you a full cannon ball, 
       Dm           C  E 
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 
                   Dm         C  E  
Nor bring our ship under your lee, 
    Am 
And you shan't take from us our rich merchant goods, 
         Dm              C  E 
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 
              Dm       C  E  
For fully two hours or three, 
     Am 
Till Henry Martin gave to them the deathshot, 
         Dm             C  E 
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, 
            Dm          C  E  
Bad news to fair London Town, 
        Am 
There's been a rich vessel and she's cast away, 
      Dm         C  E 
cast away, cast away, 
Am  C          G         Am 
And all of her merry men drown'd.
