They boarded a ship [Em] and a ship [D] of fame Launched off to stocks bound to sail to [C] Maine
When a hundred and fifty brisk young men Well picked and [G] chosen and every one
And [C] William Glenn was the captain's name He was a [F] tile and a fine [C] young man
As fine a sailor [D] as sail the sea And we were sailing to New Barbary
[C] On the fifth of April then we set sail Bound [C] with a friend and a friend in [D] scale
And we were bound for New Barbary When all of our whole ship's company
Well we [C] hadn't been sailing [Bm] a league or two When all of our whole ship's [Em] jovial [C] crew
They all fell sick but sixty-three [D] As we went sailing to [C] New Barbary
One night the captain he dreamed again He looked to [G] him and says to [D] him
Beware your friends and your whole company Tomorrow night you must lie with [G] me
[C] This woke the captain in a terrible [D] fright It being the third watch [G] of the night
And aloud for the [G] boatswain then he [C] did call And told to him his secret all
[F] Boatswain he said [G] it pleased my [C] heart To think I've [G] played a viz [C]'n's part
[Em] I salute a [C] man who I held dear And all for the sake [G] of his lady [C] d'Aire
And it's of the ghost that I [F] am afraid That has in [C] me such terror bred
So keep the [C] secret within your breast And pray for God that [F] he'll give you [C] rest

Well we hadn't been sailing a league or [C] three When raging grew the roaring sea
And there grew a tempest up in the sky Which took our seamen [G]
by [C] surprise
And the [Em] main mast sprung by the break [Am] of day Which made [C] our rigging all but to give way
Our gallant [Em] crew they [Am] cowered in fright In terror [F] of that fatal night
And then [C] the boatswain he then declared That the captain [F] was a murderer
[C] This so enraged the whole ship's crew That overboard our [C] captain's load
Our terrible [Em] captain, then [Am] he'd been gone [F] Immediately there [C] came a calm
And the winds had faded and [Am] so did the sea As [C] we went sailing to Barbary
And when we reached [D] the Spanish shore Our [F] gunship for to [C] repair
The people there were amazed to see Our dismal case and such misery
So [Am] seamen all, wherever you may be I pray you take a warning [C] from me
As you [Em] love your life, won't you [C] have a care And never go sailing with a [F] murderer
