Barretts Privateers - Weddings Parties Anything[00:00:01]

Oh the year was 1778 HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW [00:00:11]

A letter of marque came from the king [00:00:20]

To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen [00:00:23]

God damn them all [00:00:26]

I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:00:28]

We'd fire no guns-shed no tears[00:00:34]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:00:38]

The last of Barrett's Privateers [00:00:42]

Oh Elcid Barrett cried the town HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW [00:00:48]

For twenty brave men all fishermen who[00:00:56]

Would make for him the Antelope's crew[00:01:00]

God damn them all [00:01:03]

I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:01:05]

We'd fire no guns-shed no tears[00:01:10]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:01:15]

The last of Barrett's Privateers [00:01:19]

The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW [00:01:25]

She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags[00:01:32]

And the cook in scuppers with the staggers and the jags[00:01:36]

God damn them all [00:01:39]

I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:01:41]

We'd fire no guns-shed no tears[00:01:46]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:01:51]

The last of Barrett's Privateers [00:01:55]

On the King's birthday we put to sea HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW [00:02:01]

We were 91 days to Montego Bay[00:02:09]

Pumping like madmen all the way[00:02:12]

God damn them all [00:02:15]

I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:02:17]

We'd fire no guns-shed no tears[00:02:23]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:02:27]

The last of Barrett's Privateers [00:02:31]

On the 96th day we sailed again HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW [00:02:37]

When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight[00:02:45]

With our cracked four pounders we made to fight[00:02:49]

God damn them all [00:02:51]

I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:02:54]

We'd fire no guns-shed no tears[00:02:59]

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

The last of Barrett's Privateers [00:03:07]

The Yankee lay low down with gold HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW [00:03:13]

She was broad and fat and loose in the stays[00:03:22]

But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days[00:03:25]

God damn them all [00:03:28]

I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:03:30]

We'd fire no guns-shed no tears[00:03:35]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:03:40]

The last of Barrett's Privateers [00:03:44]

Then at length we stood two cables away HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW [00:03:50]

Our cracked four pounders made an awful din[00:03:58]

But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in[00:04:02]

God damn them all [00:04:05]

I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:04:06]

We'd fire no guns-shed no tears[00:04:12]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:04:16]

The last of Barrett's Privateers [00:04:20]

The Antelope shook and pitched on her side HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW [00:04:27]

Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs[00:04:35]

And the Maintruck carried off both me legs[00:04:38]

God damn them all [00:04:41]

I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:04:43]

We'd fire no guns-shed no tears[00:04:49]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:04:53]

The last of Barrett's Privateers [00:04:57]

So here I lay in my 23rd year HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW [00:05:03]

It's been 6 years since we sailed away[00:05:14]

And I just made Halifax yesterday[00:05:17]

God damn them all [00:05:20]

I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold[00:05:23]

We'd fire no guns-shed no tears[00:05:28]

Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier[00:05:34]

The last of Barrett's Privateers[00:05:40]
