God damn them all! …
The Antelope shook and pitched on her side, HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE
NOW!
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the Main trunk carried off both me legs
God damn them all! …
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 cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
