banks of newfoundland - celtic folk lyrics

the banks of newfoundland
d g d a d
on st. patrick’s day the seventeenth from new york we set sail.
d a d a
kind fortune did favor us with a sweet and pleasant gale,
d a d a
we bore away from america; the wind being off the land.
g d g d a d
and with courage brave we plowed the waves bound down for nfld.
d g d a d
our captain’s name was nelson just twenty years of age.
d a d a
as true and brave a sailor lad as ever plowed the waves.
d a d a
“the evelyn” our brig was named belonging to maclean.
g d g d a d
and with courage brave we plowed the waves bound down for nfld.
d g d a d
now when three days out to our surprise the captain he falls sick
d a d a
in short he was not able to take his turn on deck
d a d a
the fever raged which made us think that death was close at hand,
g d g d a d
so we bore away from halifax bound down for newfoundland.
d g d a d
now at three o’clock we sighted a light that we were glad to see,
d a d a
the small pox had been raging; its what it proved to be,
d a d a
and at four o’clock in the afternoon as sure as god’s command,
g d g d a d
oh he past away off arichat bound down for newfoundland.
