Вступление
The Banks of Newfoundland
[Verse]
AmG
O you Western Ocean labourers I would have you all beware,
AmGAm
When you're working on a packet-ship, no dungaree jumpers wear
CAmCG
But have a big monkey jacket all ready at your command,
Am
And we’ll bid farewell to the Virgin Rocks
AmGAm
on the Banks of the Newfoundland.
[Chorus]
Am
So we'll rub her round and scrub her
AmG
With holystone and sand,
Am. G
And we’ll bid farewell to the Virgin Rocks
AmGAm
On the Banks of the Newfoundland.
[Verse]
AmGAm
As I lay in my bunk one night, a-dreaming all alone,
AmGAm
I dreamt I was in Liverpool, 'way up
CAmCG
With my true love there beside of me and a jug of ale in my hand,
AmG
When I woke quite broken-hearted
AmGAm
on the Banks of Newfoundland.
[Chorus]
Am
So we'll rub her round and scrub her
AmG
With holystone and sand,
AmG
And we’ll bid farewell to the Virgin Rocks
AmGAm
On the Banks of the Newfoundland.
[Verse]
AmGAm
We had one Lynch from Ballinahinch, Jimmy Murphy and Mike Moore;
AmGAm
It was in the winter of sixty-two, those sea-boys suffered sore,
CAm
For they'd pawned their clothes in Liverpool
CG
and sold them out of hand,
AmG
Not thinking of the cold Northwesters
AmGAm
on the Banks of Newfoundland.
[Chorus]
Am
So we'll rub her round and scrub her
AmG
With holystone and sand,
Am
And say farewell to the Virgin Rocks
AmGAm
On the Banks of the Newfoundland.
[Verse]
AmGAm
We had one female passenger, Bridget Reilly was her name,
AmGAm
To her I promised marriage and on me she had a claim.
CAm
She tore up her flannel petticoats
CG
to make mittens for our hands,
AmG
For she couldn't see the sea-boys freeze
AmGAm
on the Banks of Newfoundland.
[Chorus]
Am
So we'll rub her round and scrub her
AmG
With holystone and sand,
Am
And we’ll bid farewell to the Virgin Rocks
AmGAm
On the Banks of the Newfoundland.
[Verse]
AmGAm
And now we're off Sandy Hook, my boys, and the land's all covered with snow.
AmGAm
The tug-boat will take our hawser and for New York we will tow;
CAmCG
And when we get to the Black Ball dock all the boys and girls they will stand,
AmG
And We'll bid adieu to the packet-ships
AmGAm
and the Banks of Newfoundland
[Chorus]
Am
So we'll rub her round and scrub her
AmG
With holystone and sand,
Am. G
And we’ll bid farewell to the Virgin Rocks
AmGAm
On the Banks of the Newfoundland.
