ANDREW MARTEEN

In bon-ey Scotland three brothers did dwell,

Three brothers did dwell, the three

And all did cast lots to see which of them

Would go robbing down on the salt sea.

And all did cast lots to see which of them

Would go robbing down on the salt sea.

The lots they fell on Andrew, fourteen,

The youngest of those brothers three,

That he should go robbing down on the salt sea

To maintain his two brothers and he.

(repeat last 2 lines of each verse)

As he was a-sailing one fine summer's morning

Just as the day did appear,

He spied a large vessel a-sailing far off

And at last she came sailing quite near.
