For American gold, with far no guns,
shed no tears!
Now I'm a broken man
on a Halifax pier,

On the King's birthday we put to sea
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now

we'd fire no guns, shed no tears

two whole days.

God damn them all!

I was told we'd cruise,
C#m
To seize for American

gold with final guns.
Shed no tears!
No, I'm a broken man
on a Halifax pier,
The last of Barrett's privateers.

E
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!

Our cracked four
-pounders made an awful din,
C#m
A
But with one fat bore the yank stove us in.
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruised the seas
for American gold,
With fire, no guns, shed no tears.
Now I'm a broken man on
C#m
a Halifax pier,
A
The last of Barrett's privateers.
The antelope shook and pitched on a side,
how I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
Barret was smashed like
a bowl o' eggs,
C
A
and the main truck carried off
Both me legs got damned them all
I was told we'd cruise the siege
for American gold
A
With far no guns, shed no tears
Not a broken man on a Halifax pier
A
For the last of Barret's privateers
So here I lay me twenty -third year
A
I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
F
It's been six years
since we sailed away
I just made Halifax yesterday
God damn them all
C#m
I was told we'd cruise the seas
For American gold with far no guns
Now I'm a broken man
On a Halifax pier
A
Got the last of Paris Privateers
