http://dbpedia.org/resource/Henry_Martin_(song) an entity of type: Thing
"Henry Martin" (also "Henry Martyn" or "The Lofty Tall Ship") (Roud 104, Child 167/250) is a traditional Scottish folk song about Henry Martin (formerly "Andrew Barton"), a seafarer who turns to piracy to support his two older brothers. Writing in 1975, the musician and folklorist A. L. Lloyd described Henry Martin as "one of the most-sung ballads of our time." Many popular modern recordings were inspired by Joan Baez's 1960 cover of the traditional Welsh singer Phil Tanner's 1937 recording.

"Henry Martin" (also "Henry Martyn" or "The Lofty Tall Ship") (Roud 104, Child 167/250) is a traditional Scottish folk song about Henry Martin (formerly "Andrew Barton"), a seafarer who turns to piracy to support his two older brothers. Writing in 1975, the musician and folklorist A. L. Lloyd described Henry Martin as "one of the most-sung ballads of our time." The story of Andrew Bartin, based on the original ballad, was included in Francis James Child's collection of The English and Scottish Popular Ballads (Child's Ballads), as Child Ballad 167. However, over the years, through oral tradition, the song had been significantly shortened and the name of the protagonist changed from Andrew Barton to Henry Martin (or Henry Martyn). In this form, the tale also appears in Child's Ballads as Child Ballad 250. Many popular modern recordings were inspired by Joan Baez's 1960 cover of the traditional Welsh singer Phil Tanner's 1937 recording.
