Learned from Nic Jones' version onFrom the Devil to a Stranger,with some extra lines based on Tony Rose's recording under the nameSir William Gower.

Lyrics

Tony Rose sings Sir William Gower	Bryony Griffith sings William Gower
A bold young seaman, stout and strong, To a lofty vessel I do belong: Well rigged, well manned, well fit for sea, Bound for New York in Amerikey.
Our captain's name was William Gower And his crew in the number were just four score. All seamen bold for to sail the sea Bound for New York in Amerikey.	A bold sea captain named William Gower And his loyal crew of just four score. All seamen brave for to sail with he Bound for New York far across the sea.
Our captain in his cabin lay When an awful voice to him did say: 'Prepare yourself and your company Tomorrow night in the deep to lie.'	This captain in his cabin lay When a dreadful voice unto him did say: 'Prepare thyself and thy ship's company For tomorrow in deepest waters may be.'
Our captain woke in an awful fright It being in the first part all of the night, And to his bosun aloud did call To him revealed his secret all.	The captain woke in a shivering fright And it being the third part all of the night, Unto the bosun he loudly cried And shared the secret of how they might die.
'Oh, it's bosun, bosun, let no-one know What we poor sailors do undergo, But keep the secret within your breast And pray to God now to give you rest.'	Saying, 'Bosun, bosun, let no-one know What our poor ship might undergo, Pray keep the secret close to thy chest And pray to the Gods that they give us rest.'
'I killed my master, a merchant there, And 'twas all for the sake of his lady dear; I killed my wife and my children three And 'twas all for the sake of jealousy.'	'For, I killed my neighbour back on the land, All for the sake of a lady's hand; Then I killed my wife and my children three All for the sake of damn jealousy.'
'Oh, it's on my servant I laid the blame, He was hung and quartered all for the same. And it is his ghost I am much afraid, This very night has my heart betrayed.'	'And on a poor young sailor I laid the blame, He was drawn and quartered all for the same. Now it is his ghost I am afraid Has come this night my poor life to take.'
Early next morning the storm did rise Which our poor sailors did much surprise, And the sea washed o'er us, both fore and aft Till scarce one man on deck was left.	Then the sea burst over both fore and aft Till hardly any crew were left, Then the bosun cried, “I do declare, It's the captain's fault, he's a murderer!”
At this our bosun he did declare Our captain he was some murderer. Which so enraged the whole ship's crew They overboard then the captain threw.	This news, this news did enrage the crew And overboard their bold captain threw, Then the wind it ceased end the sea was calm, Bound for New York they sailed free from harm.
When this was done, oh, a calm was there And our good ship homeward did steer. Oh the wind abated and calmed the sea, And we sailed safe to Amerikey.

Nic Jones sings William Glenn

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
Till all of our whole ship's jovial crew,
They all fell sick but sixty-three
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 capt
