I was told we'd cruise the seas

We'd fire no guns, shed no tears,

Now Elf Sid Barrett cried to town
G

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
G

For twenty bold men, all fishermen
G
D
Who would make for him
G
D
G
I was told we'd the seas
G
D
G
we'd fire no guns, shed no tears
D

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
and the sails in rags
And the cook and the scappers
with staggers and jags
G

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
On the king's birthday we put to sea
Pumping like madmen all the way
God damn them all

I was told we'd cruise the seas
for American gold

We'd fire no guns, shed no tears

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
On the 96th day we sailed again
G

When a bloody great Yan
D

With a cracked four pounders
D

we made to fight
G

I was told we'd cruise the seas
for American gold

Now the Yankee lay low down with gold
D

She was broad and fat and loose in stays
But to catch her took the
antelope two whole days
God damn them all

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
