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

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

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

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

[00:00:26] God damn them all

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:03] God damn them all

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:39] God damn them all

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:15] God damn them all

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:51] God damn them all

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:28] God damn them all

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:05] God damn them all

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:41] God damn them all

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:05:20] God damn them all

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

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

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

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