Captain Ward

The ballad Captain Ward sung by Gavin Atkin - I learned it from the singing of Roy Harris. For more from Gavin and from Julie Atkin, see http://julieandhersqueeze.com The images are from the Wikimedia Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil... There's a page on the Wikipedia that explains the story of Captain Ward of Faversham. [lyrics as I sing them in early 2015 - I've learned the captain was named Rainborrow, not the ship named Rainbow] Come all you bold seafaring men And listen to me song I'll tell you about a rover And will not detain you long This rover's name is Captain Ward As quickly you shall hear There hasn't been such a rover Abroad for many a year On the 14th day of January A ship came from the west With silks and satins loaded A cargo of the best Until she met with Captain Ward Upon the watery main He took her wealth and cargo And sent her back again He wrote a letter to our queen On the 14th of July To know of her if he might come With all his company To know of her if he might come Old England for to view And for his part he would lay down Five hundred pounds in gold The Queen has had a ship built A ship of noble fame Her captain was named Rainborrow You may have heard the name Her captain was named Rainborrow And she went upon the sea With full five hundred seamen To be her company She sailed to the place where Captain Ward did lay 'Who is the admiral of this ship?' Rainborrow he did say 'I'm here, I'm here,' says Captain Ward 'My name I'll not deny 'If you are one of the Queen's ships 'You are welcome to pass by' 'Oh no oh no you saucy Ward 'It grieves our Queen full sore 'That our merchant ships can't pass 'As they have done before' 'Well fight me then said saucy Ward 'I value you not a pin 'For if you have brass for your armature 'Well I have steel within' Then Rainborrow he fired his guns And he fired and fired in vain 'Til six and thirty of his men Upon his decks lay slain 'Fight on fight on,' says Captain Ward 'Your style so pleases me 'I would fight you for a month or two 'For your master I must be' At eight o'clock in the morning This bloody fight began And lasted till the evening And the setting of the sun 'Go home, go home, says Captain Ward 'And tell your Queen from me 'She may be Queen over dry land 'I rule King over the sea.'
