From Irish Fest, Tommy Maycomb and Liam Clancy accompanied [G] by Maine's Spooner Fair.
It was Friday morn when we set sail and we were [D] not far [G] from
Our captain despite [C] a merriment [G] so [C] fair
With a [Am] comb and a [G] glass in her hand
And the ocean waves grew low
And the storm began [D] to roll
[G] And we forsake [C] earth and [G] skim and ash
[C] While the land [D] covered with [G]
[C] [D] [G]
snow
The [C]
[G] Morgan and [C] the [Am] pine and the pine [G] was here
Making him air made as war came on
[C] We shall sink [D] to the bottom [G] of the sea
And the ocean waves grew low
And the storm began [D] to roll
[G] And we [C] forsake earth and skim [G] and ash
[C] While the land [D] covered with snow
[G] Below, below, below, [C] and the land [D] covered [G]
with snow
There the smoking cabin [C] boy of [G] our gallant
And [C] brave [D] young lad [G] was he
He said I have a sweetheart [C] that [G] lives up by the sea
[C] When the night [D] came we [G] went for a pee
And the ocean waves grew low
And he [D]

[G] had a ship [Am] and my smoking man [G]
was [Am] he
[G] I have [C] a wife in [G] Brookline by the sea
[Am] And tonight the winner [G] she will be
And the ocean waves grew low
And the storm began to [D] roll
[G] And we forsake [C] earth and skim [G] and ash
While [C] the [D] [G]
[C] [Am] [G]
land covered with snow
[C]
I've [G] a gallant ship [C] and a bloody [G] oak
But dear love be hard
I'd care much [C] more for my pie [G] [C] do
[Am] More than the bottom [G] of the sea
And the ocean waves grew low
And the storm began [D] to roll
[G] And we forsake [C] earth [G] [C] [Am] [G]
[C] [D] [G]
[C] and skim and ash
Three times round [G] from sea
Three times round from our gallant ship
[C] And she sank [D] to the bottom [G] of the sea
And [C] the ocean [G] waves grew low
And the storm began to [D] roll
