Tonart: D major•
Verse 1
D
Smith was a Bristol man
And a rare old sort was he
G
A
With his cutlass and his pistols,
He'd a noble crew of cut- throats
Who used to scour the sea
G
A
A plunderin' and a robbin',
A
He swore 'twas no concern',
He didn't give a herrin'
D
Bout right or wrong or any holy show
G
He swore that grabbin' booty
D
G
Was Britain's foremost duty
D
A
Wherever she could get it,
Verse 2
A

Heave- ya ho, Heave- ya ho,
G
He swore that grabbin' booty was
D
G
Britain's foremost duty
D
A
D
Wherever she could get it, heave- ya ho
Verse 3
And lofty was his pride
G
A
With his cutlass and his pistols,
He'd watch his beaten foe- men
Jump out into the tide
G
Call ye beggars who had
A
D
no where else to go
A
And hanging from his lanyards
Swung Portuguese and Spaniards
And beaten Frenchmen
G
Right along the blazin' story
D
G
Shall allure in England's glory
D
A
D
Pirate Smith of Bristol, heave- ya ho

Verse 5
D
But accidents they happen even
to heroes such as he
G
A
With his cutlass and his pistols,
He was standing on his capstan
as happy as could be
A
D
other prize in tow
A
When a whistling Spanish bullet
Came and caught him in his gullet
D
And very sad to say it laid him low
G
He was only ninety- seven,
D
G
But his soul has gone to heaven
D
A
To rest on Nelson's bosom,
A

Heave- ya ho, Heave- ya ho,
G
He was only ninety seven
D

But his soul has gone to Heaven
A

To rest in Nelson's
bosom, heave- ya ho
