the jolly rogers - barrett's privateers كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
oh, the year was 1778
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now!
a letter of marque came from the king
to the scummiest vessel i’d ever seen!
god d_mn them all!

[chorus]
i was told we’d cruise the seas for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears!
i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 2]
oh, elcid barrett cried the town
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now!
for twenty brave men all fishermen who
would make for him the antelope’s crew
god d_mn them all!

[verse 3]
the antelope sloop was a sickening sight
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
she’d list to the port with her sails in rags
and the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags
god d_mn them all!

[chorus]
i was told we’d cruise the seas for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears!
i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers

[verse 4]
on the king’s birthday we put to sea
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now!
we were ninety_one days to montego bay
pumping like madmen all the way
god d_mn them all!
[verse 5]
on the ninety_sixth day we sailed again
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
when a bl__dy great yankee hove in sight
with our cracked four_pounders we made to fight!
god d_mn them all!

[chorus]
i was told we’d cruise the seas for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears!
i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers

[verse 6]
the yankee lay low down with gold
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now!
she was broad and fat and loose in stays
but to catch her took the antelope two whole days!
god d_mn them all!

[verse 7]
then at length she we stood two cables away
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now!
our cracked four_pounders made an awful din
but with one fat ball, the yank stove us in!
god d_mn them all!
[chorus]
i was told we’d cruise the seas for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears!
i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers

[verse 8]
the antelope shook and pitched on her side
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now!
barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
and the main truck carried off both me legs!
god d_mn them all!

[verse 9]
so here i lay in my twenty_third year
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now!
it’s been six long years since we sailed away
and i just made halifax yesterday!
god d_mn them all!

[chorus]
i was told we’d cruise the seas for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears!
i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers

god d_mn them all!
i was told we’d cruise the seas for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears!
i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers

god d_mn them all!
