The Mermaid (Child 289)
This song is based on the traditional sailors' belief that sighting a mermaid is an omen foretelling a shipwreck. It is also known as "Waves On the Sea", "The Wrecked Ship", and the oldest known version, "The Praise of Saylors", dating back to around 1630.

Sir Patrick Spens (Child 58) - (Traditional)
This song, of Scottish origin, is one of the most popular of the ballads collected by Francis James Child. It is believed to be based on an actual event - the king is probably King Alexander III of Scotland, who sent Sir Patrick Spens on his dangerous voyage to Norway to bring back the child of the king's daughter Margaret, who had married Eric, the young King of Norway (1281), but had died in childbirth. The king's seven-year-old grand-daughter (the Maid of Norway) was therefore the heir to the Scottish throne. There is no record of a "Patrick Spens" himself, so he is probably a fictional character.
The ballad has many variations but they all tell basically the same story: The King of Scotland asks for the most skillful sailor in the land to take charge of his ship. Sir Patrick's name is mentioned by an old knight, and the king sends him the unwelcome letter commanding him to set sail at the most dangerous time of year. In some versions the ship is wrecked on the way over, while in longer versions Sir Patrick safely reaches Norway, only to be accused by the Norwegian lords of wasting their king's resources. Offended, Sir Patrick leaves the following day despite the bad omen of seeing the new moon with the old moon in its arms, which would indicate dangerous tides. The inevitable result is that the ship sinks, taking him and the Scottish lords to the bottom of the sea. The last few verses point up the ironic contrast between the lifestyle of the lords (and their ladies) with the men's ignoble death.
I first knew this ballad as a poem in one of my school textbooks.
There is a popular version of the song which was sung by Fairport Convention, but my performance here is based on my memory of the way it was sung by Ewan MacColl.
In case my fake Scottish accent is hard to follow, here are the lyrics:
The king sits in Dumfermline town,
Drinking the blude-red wine:
"O whare shall I get a skeely skipper,
To sail this new ship of mine?"
O, up and spake an eldern knight,
Sat at the king's right knee:
"Sir Patrick Spens is the best sailor
That ever sailed the sea."
Our king has written a braid letter,
And seald it with his hand,
And sent it to Sir Patrick Spens,
Was walking on the strand.
"Tae Norowa', tae Norowa',
Tae Norowa' o'er the faem;
The king's daughter o' Norowa',
'Tis thou maun bring her hame."
The first word that Sir Patrick read,
Sae loud, loud laughed he;
The neist word that Sir Patrick read,
The tear blinded his ee.
"O wha is this has done this deed,
And tauld the king o' me,
To send us out at this time of the year
To sail upon the sea?
"Be it wind, be it weet, be it hail, be it sleet,
Our ship must sail the faem;
The king's daughter o' Norowa',
'Tis we must fetch her hame.'
They hoisted their sails on Monenday morn,
Wi a' the speed they may;
And they have landed in Norowa',
Upon a Wodensday.
They hadna been a week, a week
In Norowa' but twae,
When that the lords o' Norowa'
Began aloud to say:
"'Ye Scottishmen spend a' our king's goud,
And a' our queenis fee!"
"Ye lie, ye lie, ye liars loud.
Fu' loud I hear ye lie !
"'For I brought as much of the white monie
As gane my men and me,
And I brought a half-fou o' gude red goud
Out o'er the sea wi' me.
"Mak ready, mak ready, my merrymen a',
Our gude ship sails the morn:"
"Now, ever alack, my maister dear,
I fear a deadly storm
"'I saw the new moon late yestreen,
Wi' the auld moon in her airm;
And if we gang to sea, maister,
I fear we'll come tae hairm.'
They hadna sailed a league, a league,
A league but barely three,
When the lift grew dark, and the wind blew loud
And gurly grew the sea.
The ankers brak, and the topmasts lap,
It was sic a deadly storm,
And the waves came o'er the broken ship,
Till a' her sides were torn.
"O where will I get a gude sailor,
Will take my helm in hand,
Till I gang up to the tall topmast,
To see if I can spy land?"
"O here

House Carpenter (Child 243) - (Traditional)
One of the best-known of the English and Scottish ballads collected by Francis James Child. I first heard it sung by Joan Baez, but this is probably closer to Dylan's version. There is a fascinating book by Clinton Heylin - "Dylan's Daemon Lover" - which traces the various versions of this song back to it's origins in the sixteenth century. I used this source to put together what I thought were the most interesting and appropriate verses to tell the whole story.
