Verse 1
D
G
In 1849, from Newry County down,
A
We set sail on the Hannah,
G
Nova Scotia bound.
D
Our loved ones left behind,
G
the land our fathers knew,
A
Ravaged by the famine,
G
D
starved by England's cruel.
Our Captain Currie Shaw,
G
the pasty little sod,
A
Through cruel deeds
G
he quickly earned the ire
D
of all on board,
But three weeks out to sea,
G
the winter's grip still tied.
A
At 4 a .m. on the freezing night
of April 29th,
G
D
the Hannah struck ice.
When a sailor brought the news,
G
the Hannah would go down.
A
Young Shaw addressed the passengers
G
Bm
who feared that they would drown
He stood on deck
D
G
and spoke with arms raised overhead
A
Keep calm everyone
G
D
and I will save you all is what he boldly said
Bm
But the coward and too cruel,
G
as we watched in dismay,
A
Then commandeered the only
G
D
lifeboat there on Holloway,
Bm
Swiping with his sword
D
G
A
at anyone who tried to stop him.
Shaw then vanished,
G
D
leaving us to die
G
You villain, Currie Shaw,
D
Bm
your name forever draw
D
A
The curse and spit of decent men,
G
D
you lowest of the low
A
G
D
A frantic race began
G
among the crew and men
A
To lower people down
G
D
unto the ice flows as she leant
Some refused to leave,
G
terrified with fear
A
They were swallowed in
that dreadful hour,
G
D
The Hannah disappeared.
G
You villain, curry show,
D
Bm
Your name forever dwell,
D
A
Among the greatest cowards that
G
D
A
Deserved a place in hell
G
D
The brave John Murphy dove
G
Into the freezing wet
A
And plucked his infant rose
G
D
And my young Barney from their deaths
He placed them on a flow
G
But turned to see his own twin boys
A
Float off into the darkness
G
D
Never seen again alive
G
You villain, Currie Shaw,
D
Bm
you could have saved them all
D
A
I hope your boat got swallowed
G
D
by a great whale's bloody jaw
G
You villain, Currie Shaw,
D
Bm
your name forever dwell
D
A
As captain of the cowards
G
D
on the lifeboat down to hell.
