BARRETT’S PRIVATEERS

D A D
Oh, the year was seventeen seventy-eight
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
A letter of marque came from the king
Bm A G
To the scummiest vessel I've ever seen

A D
God damn them all!
D G A G D G
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
A D A G
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
D G D G
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
G (or Bm) A D
The last of Barrett's privateers

Bm A G A D

D A D
Oh, Elcid Barrett cried the town
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
For twenty brave men, all fishermen
Bm A G
Who would make for him the Antelope's crew

[Chorus]

D A D
The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags
Bm A G
And the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags

[Chorus]

D A D
On the King's birthday we put to sea
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
We were ninety-one days to Montego Bay
Bm A G
Pumping like madmen all the way

[Chorus]

D A D
On the ninety-sixth day we sailed again
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight
Bm A G
With our cracked four-pounders, we made to fight

[Chorus]

D A D
The Yankee lay low down with gold
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
She was broad and fat and loose in stays
Bm A G
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days

[Chorus]

D A D
Then at length we stood two cables away
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
Our cracked four-pounders made an awful din
Bm A G
But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in

[Chorus]

D A D
The Antelope shook and pitched on her side
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
Bm A G
And the main truck carried off both me legs

[Chorus]

D A D
So here I lay in me twenty-third year
G D A
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G A D
It's been six years since we sailed away
Bm A G
And I just made Halifax yesterday

[Chorus]
