Oh the year was seventeen seventy eight[00:00:00]

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now[00:00:03]

A letter of marque came from the King[00:00:06]

To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen[00:00:08]

God Damn them all I was told[00:00:09]

We'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:00:12]

We'd fire no guns shed no tears[00:00:14]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:00:17]

The last of Barrett's privateers[00:00:21]

Oh Elcid Barrett cried the town[00:00:25]

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now[00:00:27]

For twenty brave men all fishermen who[00:00:30]

Would make for him the Antelope's crew[00:00:32]

God Damn them all I was told[00:00:34]

We'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:00:36]

We'd fire no guns shed no tears[00:00:42]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:00:46]

The last of Barrett's privateers[00:00:51]

The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight[00:00:54]

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now[00:00:56]

She'd a list to port and her sails in rags[00:01:01]

And a cook in the scuppers with staggers and jags[00:01:07]

God Damn them all I was told[00:01:08]

We'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:01:30]

We'd fire no guns shed no tears[00:01:33]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:01:35]

The last of Barrett's privateers[00:01:38]

On the King's birthday we put to sea[00:01:39]

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now[00:01:42]

We were ninety-one days to Montego bay[00:01:45]

Pumping like madmen all the way[00:01:48]

God Damn them all I was told[00:01:51]

We'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:01:55]

We'd fire no guns shed no tears[00:01:57]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:01:59]

The last of Barrett's privateers[00:02:01]

On the ninety-sixth day we sailed again[00:02:04]

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now[00:02:07]

When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight[00:02:12]

With our cracked four-pounders we made to fight[00:02:14]

God Damn them all I was told[00:02:19]

We'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:02:20]

We'd fire no guns shed no tears[00:02:21]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:02:23]

The last of Barrett's privateers[00:02:25]

The Yankee lay low down with gold[00:02:26]

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now[00:02:28]

She was broad and fat and loose in the stays[00:02:31]

But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days[00:02:34]

God Damn them all I was told[00:02:39]

We'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:02:41]

We'd fire no guns shed no tears[00:02:43]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:03:17]

The last of Barrett's privateers[00:03:20]

Then at length we stood two cables away[00:03:21]

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now[00:03:22]

Our cracked four-pounders made an awful din[00:03:24]

But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in[00:03:25]

God Damn them all I was told[00:03:27]

We'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:03:30]

We'd fire no guns shed no tears[00:03:32]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:03:35]

The last of Barrett's privateers[00:03:38]

The Antelope shook and pitched on her side[00:03:42]

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now[00:03:44]

Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs[00:03:47]

And the maintruck carried off both me legs[00:03:49]

God Damn them all I was told[00:03:51]

We'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:03:54]

We'd fire no guns shed no tears[00:03:57]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:04:01]

The last of Barrett's privateers[00:04:03]

So here I lay in my twenty-third year[00:04:06]

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now[00:04:08]

It's been six years since we sailed away[00:04:10]

And I just made Halifax yesterday[00:04:13]

God Damn them all I was told[00:04:15]

We'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:04:17]

We'd fire no guns shed no tears[00:04:20]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:04:24]

The last of Barrett's privateers[00:04:25]
