the longest johns - barrett's privateers كلمات أغنية
[verse 1]
oh the year was 1778
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
well a letter of marque came from king
to the scumiest vessel i’ve ever seen
[chorus]
god d_mn them all, i was told
we’d cruise the see for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears
now 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
[chorus]
god d_mn them all, i was told
we’d cruise the see for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears
now i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 3]
the antelope sloop was a sickening sight
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
she had a list to port and sails in rags
and and the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags
[chorus]
god d_mn them all, i was told
we’d cruise the see for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears
now i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 4]
and on the king’s birthday we sailed away
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
we were ninety_one days from montego bay
pumping like madmen all the way
[chorus]
god d_mn them all, i was told
we’d cruise the see for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears
now i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 5]
and on the ninety_sixth day we sailed again
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
with a bl__dy great yankee hove in sight
with our cracked four pounders, we made to fight
[chorus]
god d_mn them all, i was told
we’d cruise the see for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears
now 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 at the stays
but to catch her took the antelope two whole days
[chorus]
god d_mn them all, i was told
we’d cruise the see for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears
now i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 7]
then at length, 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
[chorus]
god d_mn them all, i was told
we’d cruise the see for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears
now i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 8]
the antelope shook and she 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 my legs
[chorus]
god d_mn them all, i was told
we’d cruise the see for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears
now i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 9]
so here i lay in my twenty_third year
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
it’s been six year since we sailed away
and i just made halifax yesterday
[chorus]
god d_mn them all, i was told
we’d cruise the see for american gold
we’d fire no guns, shed no tears
now i’m a broken man on a halifax pier
the last of barrett’s privateers
