Tonart: A major
Verse 1
C
G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
A letter of mock came from the king
C
G
to the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen.
I was told we'd cruise
the seas for American gold.
F
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears.
C
I'm a broken man on the Halifax pier,
the last to bear its privateers.
G
The antelope's lube was
a -sickening sight
C
G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
She'd a list to the board
C
and her sails and wrecks
G
And the cook and scuppers
C
with the stackers and jacks
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise
the seas for American gold
G
F
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's privateers
G
On the 96th day we sailed again
C
G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C
When a bloody great Yankee of insight
With a crack for a pound as
we made to fight
Got them, them all, I was told
We'd cruise the seas for American gold
F
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's privateers
G
C
The Yankee lay low down with gold
G
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
She was broad and fat and loose in stace
But her catcher took
C
the antelope to old ace
God damn them all,
I was told we'd cruise
The seas for American gold,
F
we'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C
I'm a broken man on the Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's privateers
we stood two cables away
C
G
How rich I was in Sherbrooke now
But with one fat bovvying still was in
God damn them all,
The seas for American gold,
G
F
we'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C
I'm a broken man and a Halifax peer
The last of Barrett's privateers
G
C
The antelope shook and pitched on his side
G
I wish I wasn't Sherbrooke now
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the main troom
carried off both me legs
I was told we'd cruise the seas
for American gold,
G
F
with fire in our guns, check no tears
C
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier,
the last to bear its privateers
G
C
So, here I lay in my 23rd year,
G
how I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
It's been six years since we sailed away,
and I just made Halifax yesterday
I was told we'd cruise the seas
for American gold,
F
we'd fire no guns, shed no tears.
G
C
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier,
G
the last of Barrett's privateers.
I was told we'd cruise the seas
for American gold,
F
we'd fire no guns, shed no tears.
C
I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier,
I've sailed the seas for
many long years,
You'll never find a better man far or near
But the last of Barret's privateers
