_ _ _ The gallant frigate, and for trade [C] she lay [G] in [D] Plymouth Sound.
Blue Peter and her foremast head, [C] for she was [A] outward bound.
[D] We were waiting there for _ orders [G] to send us far from home.
_ [D] Our orders came for Rio, _ [C] and [G] then surround [D] Cape Horn. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
When we arrived at Rio, [G] we prepared for [D] heavy gales.
We set up all our rigging [C] buoys, and bent on [Em] all [A] new sails.
[D]
From ship to ship they cheered us, [G] as we did sail _ along. _
[D] And wished us pleasant weather, in [C] the [G] rounding of [D] Cape Horn. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ While beating off MacGallan's trade, [C] said Blue, [G] _
[D] exceeding hard.
While _ shortland's sail to _ Galatas [C] fell from the top [E] sail yard.
_ [D] By angry seas the ropes we threw, [G] from their poor hands was torn.
We [D] were forced to leave, until the sharks [C] that [G] prowled around [D] Cape Horn. _ _

When we got round the Horn, me boys, [C] we [G] had some glorious [D] _
days.
And very soon our killick [C] dropped in _ _ [A] Valparaiso Bay.
[E] _ [D] Then pretty girls came down to us, [G] I _ solemnly _ declare.
There [D] far before, there Plymouth girls, [C] with their [D] long and curly _ hair. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ They love a jolly _ sailor, [C] when he [G] spends his money [D] _ free. _
They'll laugh and sing and merry, merry be, [C] and have a [A] jovial spree.
[E] _
[D] And when your money is all gone, [G] they won't un-you impose.
_ [D] They are not like them Plymouth girls, [Em] that'll [G] pawn and sell [D] your _ clothes. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Farewell to _ _ _ Valparaiso, [Am] and [G] farewell for [D] a while. _ _
Likewise to all them Spanish girls, [C]
along the coast of [A] trial.
[D] And if ever I live to be paid [C] off, [G] I'll sit and sing this song.
_ [D]
God bless them pretty Spanish _ [C] girls, we [G] left around [D] Cape Horn. _
