BARRETTS PRIVATEERS (C Chord) (Stan Rogers)
1. Oh, the C year was seventeen seventy- G eight
How I wish I F was in C Sherbrooke G now
A C letter of G marque came C from the king
To the scummiest vessel I'd G ever F seen
Chorus (Repeat after each verse)
G God C damn them all, I was F told,
We'd C cruise the F seas for A C merican F gold
We'd G fire no C guns, G shed no F tears
I'm a C broken F man on a C Halifax F pier
The last of Barrett's G Priva C teers
2. Oh, C Elcid Barrett G cried the town
How I wish I F was in C Sherbrooke G now
For C twenty brave G men, all C fishermen, who
Would make for him the G Antelope's F crew
Chorus
3. Oh, the C Antelope sloop was a sickening G sight
How I wish I F was in C Sherbrooke G now
She'd a C list to the G port and her C sails in rags
And the cook in the scuppers with the G staggers and F jags
Chorus
4. On the C King's birthday we put to G sea
How I wish I F was in C Sherbrooke G now
We were C ninety-one G days to Mon C tego Bay
Pumping like madmen G all the F way
Chorus
5. On the C ninety-sixth day we sailed a G gain
How I wish I F was in C Sherbrooke G now
When a C bloody great G Yankee C hove in sight
With our cracked four-pounders, we G made to F fight
Chorus
6. The C Yankee lay low down with G gold
How I wish I F was in C Sherbrooke G now
She was C broad and G fat and C loose in stays
But to catch her took the Antelope G two whole F days
Chorus
7. Then at C length we stood two cables a G way
How I wish I F was in C Sherbrooke G now
Our C cracked four- G pounders made an C awful din
But with one fat ball the Yank G stove us F in
Chorus
8. The C Antelope shook and pitched on her G side
How I wish I F was in C Sherbrooke G now
C Barrett was G smashed like a C bowl of eggs
And the main-truck carried off G both me F legs
Chorus
9. So here I C lay in my twenty-third G year
How I wish I F was in C Sherbrooke G now
It's been C six years G since we C sailed a-way
And I just made Halifax G yester F day
Final Chorus
G God damn them all, I was F told,
We'd C cruise the F seas for A C merican F gold
We'd G fire no C guns, G shed no F tears
Now I'm a C broken F man on a C Halifax F pier
I’m the last of Barrett's G Priva C teers
