Lyrics:

Oh, The Year Was 1778
how I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now
when A Letter Of Marque Come From The King
to The Scummiest Vessel I'd Ever Seen

god Damn Them All
i Was Told We'd Sail The Seas For American Gold
we'd Fire No Gun, Shed No Tear
well I'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
the Last Of Barrett's Privateers

oh, Elcid Barrett Cried The Town
how I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now
for Twenty Brave Men All Fishermen Who
would Make Up For The Antelope's Crew

god Damn Them All
i Was Told We'd Sail The Seas For American Gold
we'd Fire No Gun, Shed No Tear
well I'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
the Last Of Barrett's Privateers

now The Antelope She Was A Sickening Sight
how I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now
she'd A List To The Port And And Her Sails In Rags
and The Cook In Scuppers With The Shakes And The Jags

god Damn Them All
i Was Told We'd Sail The Seas For American Gold
we'd Fire No Gun, Shed No Tear
well I'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
the Last Of Barrett's Privateers

and On The King's Birthday We Sail Away
how I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now
we Were 97 Days To Montego Bay
pumping Like Madmen All The Way

god Damn Them All
i Was Told We'd Sail The Seas For American Gold
we'd Fire No Gun, Shed No Tear
well I'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
the Last Of Barrett's Privateers

on The 98th Day We Sailed Again
how I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now
when Big Fat American Hove In Sight
with Our Cracked Four Pounders, Made To Fight

god Damn Them All
i Was Told We'd Sail The Seas For American Gold
we'd Fire No Gun, Shed No Tear
well I'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
the Last Of Barrett's Privateers

that Yankee She Lay Low With Gold
how I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now
she Was Big And Fat And Loose At The Stays
but To Catch Her Took Us 3 Whole Days

god Damn Them All
i Was Told We'd Sail The Seas For American Gold
we'd Fire No Gun, Shed No Tear
well I'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
the Last Of Barrett's Privateers

well At Last We Stood Two Cables Away
how I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now
our Cracked Four Pounders Made An Awful Din
but With An American Ball Come Staved Us In

god Damn Them All
i Was Told We'd Sail The Seas For American Gold
we'd Fire No Gun, Shed No Tear
well I'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
the Last Of Barrett's Privateers

now The Antelope Shook And She Pitched On Her Side
how I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now
well Barrett Was Smashed Like A Bowl Of Eggs
and The Main Truck Took Off Both My Legs

god Damn Them All
i Was Told We'd Sail The Seas For American Gold
we'd Fire No Gun, Shed No Tear
well I'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
the Last Of Barrett's Privateers

so Here I Lay In My 23rd Year
how I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now
it's Been 6 Years Since We Sailed Away
and I Just Made Halifax Yesterday

god Damn Them All
i Was Told We'd Sail The Seas For American Gold
we'd Fire No Gun, Shed No Tear
well I'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
the Last Of Barrett's Privateers

how I Wish I Was In Sherbrooke Now
i Was Told We'd Sail The Seas For American Gold
we'd Fire No Gun, Shed No Tear
well I'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
and You'll Never Find A Better Man Far Or Near
i'm A Broken Man On A Halifax Pier
the Last Of Barrett's Privateers
