Barrett’s Privateers歌曲歌词：
作曲 : Paul McKenzie
Oh, the year was 1778
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
Well a letter of marque came from the king
To the scummiest vessel I’ve ever seen
God damn them all! I was told
We’d sail the seas for American gold
We’d fire no gun, shed no tear
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers
Oh, Elcid Barrett cried the town
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
For twenty brave men all fishermen who
Would make up for the Antelope’s crew
God damn them all! I was told
We’d sail the seas for American gold
We’d fire no gun, shed no tear
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers
Now the Antelope she was a sickening sight
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
She’d a list to the port and her sails in rags
And the cook in the scuppers with the shakes and the jags
God damn them all! I was told
We’d sail the seas for American gold
We’d fire no gun, shed no tear
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers
And on the King’s birthday we sailed away
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
We were 97 days from Montego Bay
We were pumping like madmen all the way
God damn them all! I was told
We’d sail the seas for American gold
We’d fire no gun, shed no tear
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers
And on the 98th day we sailed again
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
With a big fat American hove in sight
Our cracked four pounders made to fight
God damn them all! I was told
We’d sail the seas for American gold
We’d fire no gun, shed no tear
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers
That Yankee she lay low with gold
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
She was big and fat and loose at the stays
And to catch her took us three whole days
God damn them all! I was told
We’d sail the seas for American gold
We’d fire no gun, shed no tear
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers
Well at last we stood two cables away
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
Well our cracked four pounders made an awful din
But an American ball come staved us in
God damn them all! I was told
We’d sail the seas for American gold
We’d fire no gun, shed no tear
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers
Now the Antelope shook and she pitched on her side
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
Well Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the main truck took off both my legs
God damn them all! I was told
We’d sail the seas for American gold
We’d fire no gun, shed no tear
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers
So here I lay in my 23rd year
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
Well it’s been 6 years since we sailed away
And I just made Halifax yesterday
God damn them all! I was told
We’d sail the seas for American gold
We’d fire no gun, shed no tear
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers
God damn them all! I was told
We’d sail the seas for American gold
We’d fire no gun, shed no tear
But I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
And you’ll never find a better man far or near
I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett’s Privateers

The Real McKenzies简介：
by Mike DaRoncoThe Real McKenzies have been bringing out their hybrid of aggressive punk and traditional Scottish folk songs since their formation in 1992. After several lineup changes, this Vancouver-based sextet eventually settled with Paul McKenzie (vocals), the Bone (guitar/vocals), Kurt “Dirty” Robertson (guitar), Matt MacNasty (bagpipes), Brad Attitude (drums), and Jamie Fawkes (bass). By 1995, IFA Records released the band’s first full-length, appropriately titled Scotland. After the band spent four years touring throughout North America, Joey “Shithead” Keithley’s Sudden Death Records eventually funded the release of the Real McKenzies’ second album, Clash of the Tartans, in 1999. Loch’d & Loaded appeared two years later on Fat Wreck. The live album Pissed Tae th’ Gills: A Drunken Live Tribute to Robbie Burns was issued in 2002, followed the next year by Oot & Aboot on Honest Don’s Hardly. The band returned to Fat Wreck for 2005’s 10,000 Shots.
