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]
