letra de barrett's privateers - the sheringham shantymen
[verse 1: lead, all]
oh, the year was seventeen-seventy-six
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
a letter of marque came from the king
to the scummiest vessel i’ve ever seen
[chorus]
god d-mn 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
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 2: lead, all]
ol’ elcid barrett cried the town
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
for twenty brave men, all fishеrmen who
would make for him the antеlope’s crew
[chorus]
god d-mn 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
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 3: lead, all]
the antelope sloop was a sickening sight
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
she’d a list to the port ‘n her sails in rags
and the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags
[chorus]
god d-mn 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
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 4: lead, all]
on the king’s birthday we put to sea
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
we were ninety-one days to montigo bay
pumping like madmen all the way
[chorus]
god d-mn 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
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 5: lead, all]
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 a cracked four-pounder we made to fight!
[chorus]
god d-mn 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
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 6: lead, all]
the yankee lay low down with gold
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
she was broad and fat and loose in stay
but to catch her took the antelope two whole days!
[chorus]
god d-mn 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
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 7: lead, all]
then at last we stood two cables away
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now
our cracked four-pounder 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 seas
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: lead, all]
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 track carried off both me legs
[chorus]
god d-mn 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
the last of barrett’s privateers
[verse 9: lead, all]
so here i lay in my twenty-third year..
how i wish i was in sherbrooke now..
it’s been six years since we sailed away..
and i just made halifax yesterday!
[chorus]
god d-mn 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
the last of barrett’s privateers
