"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.
