Nic Jones - William Glenn

'William Glenn', from Nic Jones' album 'From the Devil to a Stranger', released in 1978. A slightly different (and perhaps more definitive sounding) performance of this song, titled 'Captain Glenn', is included on Nic Jones' album Unearthed, released in 2001, recorded in the 70's. (I will not upload that version, because that album is available on CD). ---------------------------------------- Lyrics: Oh it's of a ship and a ship of fame Launched off the stocks, bound to sail the main With one hundred and fifty brisk young men Well picked and chosen every one And William Glenn was the captain's name He was a fine and a tall young man As fine a sailor as sailed the sea And we were sailing to New Barbary On the first of april, then we set sail Blessed with a fine and a prosperous gale And we were bound for New Barbary With all of our whole ship's company We hadn't been sailing a league or two Til' all of our whole ship's jovial crew They all fell sick but 63 As we were sailing to New Barbary One night the captain then he did dream A voice came to him and said to him "prepare yourself and your company For tomorrow night you must lie with me" This woke the captain in a terrible fright It being the third watch of the night And aloud for the bosun then he did call And to him told his secrets all "Bosun", said he, "it grieves my heart To think I've acted a villain's part A man I slew in Staffordshire And all for the sake of his lady fair And it's of the ghost of that I am afraid That has in me such terror bred So keep the secret within your breast And pray to the Lord that he'll give you rest" We hadn't been a sailing a league but three Til' raging grew the roaring sea There rose a tempest within the skies Which did our seamen much surprise And the main mast sprung by the break of day Which made our rigging all but to give way And did our seamen sore afright The terrors of that fateful night And then the bosun he did declare That the captain he was a murderer This so enraged the whole ship's crew That overboard our captain threw Our treacherous captain he being gone Immediately there came a calm And the winds abated and so did the sea And we went sailing to New Barbary And when we came to the Spanish shore Our good little ship for to repair The people there were amazed to see Our dismal case and such misery Now seamen all wherever you be I pray you take a warning from me As you love life won't you have care And never go sailing with a murderer ---------------------------------------- All credit goes to Nic Jones. I only put the music and images together for promotion, so Youtube can enjoy this great artist. For more of his fantastic music, consider buying his albums to support Nic Jones (who can no longer perform). I upload some of his songs from the albums that have only been released on vinyl. These are no longer available, and as far as I know there are no plans to release them on CD. For the albums that were released on CD, see http://www.nicjones.net/shop
