Oh the year was three seventy eight
How I wish I was in Tubor now
A letter of marque came from the Queen
To the scummiest vessel I've ever seen
Dav damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for Daravi gold
We'd fire no bows, shed no tears
But I'm a broken man on a Nimrock pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
Oh, Elcid Barrett cried the town
How I wish I was in Tubor now
For twenty brave men all fishermen who
Would make for him the Antelope's crew
Dav damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for Daravi gold
We'd fire no bows, shed no tears
But I'm a broken man on a Nimrock pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight
How I wish I was in Tubor now
She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags
And the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags
Dav damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for Daravi gold
We'd fire no bows, shed no tears
But I'm a broken man on a Nimrock pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
On the Queen's birthday we put to sea
How I wish I was in Tubor now
We were 91 days to Edessa Bay
Pumping like madmen all the way
Dav damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for Daravi gold
We'd fire no bows, shed no tears
But I'm a broken man on a Nimrock pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
On the 96th day we sailed again
How I wish I was in Tubor now
When a bloody great Daravi hove in sight
With our cracked ballista we made to fight
Dav damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for Daravi gold
We'd fire no bows, shed no tears
But I'm a broken man on a Nimrock pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
Now the Daravi lay low down with gold
How I wish I was in Tubor now
She was broad and fat and loose in the stays
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days
Dav damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for Daravi gold
We'd fire no bows, shed no tears
But I'm a broken man on a Nimrock pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
Then at length we stood two cables away
How I wish I was in Tubor now
Our cracked ballista made an awful din
But with one fat shot, the Yank stove us in
Dav damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for Daravi gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
But I'm a broken man on a Nimrock pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
The Antelope shook and pitched on her side
How I wish I was in Tubor now
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the Main truck carried off both me legs
Dav damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for Daravi gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
But I'm a broken man on a Nimrock pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
So here I lay in my 23rd year
How I wish I was in Tubor now
It's been 6 years since we sailed away
And I just made Nimrock yesterday
Dav damn them all! I was told
We'd cruise the seas for Daravi gold
We'd fire no bows, shed no tears
But I'm a broken man on a Nimrock pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
