_ Oh, it's a ship _ [F#] and a ship [B] of fame _ Launched off the stocks [E] bound to sail [B] the
main With a hundred and [F#] fifty brisk [B] young men
Well [G#] picked and [E] chosen _ [B] every one _ _ And William Glenn was the captain's name
He was [E] a fine and a [B] tall young _ man As fine a _ _ sailor as sailed the sea
We were [F#]
sailing to [B] New Barbary _ _ _ On the first of April then we set _ _ sail _
Blessed with a fine and a prosperous scale _ And we were bound for [E] New _ [B] Barbary
With [F#] all of our whole [B] ship's company _ _ _ And we hadn't been a-sailing a league or two
Till all of our whole ship's jovial crew _ They all fell sick but sixty-three _
As we [E] were sailing to [B] New Barbary _ _ _ One night the captain _ in he did dream
A voice come to him and said to him Prepare _ yourself _ [G#] and your [B] company _
For [G#m] tomorrow night [B] you must lie with me _ This awoke the captain in a terrible fright _
It being [G#m] the third [F#] watch [B] of the night And loud for the bosun then he did call
And [G#] to him _ [B] told his secret soul _ _ _ _ _ _ Bosun said _ it grieves my heart
To think I've acted a villain's part A man I slew in _ _ Staffordshire
And all for the sake of his lady fair _ _ And it's of the ghost that I am afraid
That [F#] has in me such [B] terror bred So keep the secret _ within your _ breast
And pray [G#] to the Lord [E] that [B] he'll give you rest _
_ We hadn't been a-sailing _ a league but three Till raging grew [F#] the roaring [B] _ sea
There rose a _ tempest within the skies _ Which did [G#m] us _ _ [B] seamen much surprise _
_ And the main mast sprung by the break of day Which [G#m] made our rigging all [B] for two give way _
And did our _ _ seamen so _ refry The [E] terrors _ of [B] that fatal night _
_ And then the bosun [E]
he [B] did declare That the captain he _ was a murderer _ _
This so enraged _ the whole ship's crew That [G#m] overboard _ _ [B] our captain grew _
_ Our treacherous captain _ _ he'd been gone _ _ [F#] Immediately _ _ there [B] came a calm
And the winds abated and so did the sea And we [F#] went sailing to [B] New Barbary _ _
_ When we came to the Spanish shore _ Our good little ship fought to repair
The people there were _ amazed to see Our [G#m] dismal case and [B] such _ misery _ _
_ Now seamen all _ wherever you be I pray [E] you take [B] a warning from me
As you love your life won't you have a care And [E] never go sailing with a [B] murderer _ _
