AmGAm
Ye bully boys of Liverpool, and I'll have you all beware
AmGAm
When you sail on them packet ships,no dungaree jackets wear
CAmC (G)
But have a big monkey jacket all ready to your hand
AmGAm
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland
Chorus
CAmCG
We'll scr*pe her and we'll scrub her,With holy stone and sand
AmGAm
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland
AmGAm
We had Jack Lynch from Ballynahinch,Mike Murphy and some more
AmGAm
an' I tell you b?ys, well they suffered like hell on their way to Baltimore
CAmC (G)
They pawned their gear in Liverpool and they sailed as they did stand
AmGAm
But there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland
Chorus
CAmCG
We'll scr*pe her and we'll scrub her,With holy stone and sand
AmGAm
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland
AmGAm
Now the mate he did stand on the foc'sle head and loudly he did roar
AmGAm
"Come rattle her in me lucky lads, You're bound for America's shore.
CAmC (G)
Come wipe the blood off the dead man's face And haul or you'll be damned!"
AmGAm
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland
Chorus...
CAmCG
We'll scr*pe her and we'll scrub her,With holy stone and sand
AmGAm
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland
AmGAm
So now we're off the hook me boys, and the land is white with snow
AmGAm
and soon we'll see the pay table and we'll spend the night below
CAmC (G)
And on the docks, come down in flocks, why,those pretty girls will say
AmGAm
"It's snugger with me then out on the sea, on the banks of Newfoundland!"
Chorus
CAmCG
We'll scr*pe her and we'll scrub her,With holy stone and sand
AmGAm
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland
CAmCG
We'll scr*pe her and we'll scrub her,With holy stone and sand
AmGAm
For there blow some cold nor'westers on the banks of Newfoundland
