[G] _ [D] In [G] 1580 we sailed our little [Em] ship
[A] Around the coast of [D] Africa down the Gaza Strip
We took some salty [G] bacon and a hammer for [Em] a mess
And we [A] mixed it with the [D] Spaniards in the middle of the mess
We had a lot of fun, saw the pretty girl becoming
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We had some more and then we started running around
The Mississippi [A] to the Gulf of [Bm] Mexico
Mexico, _ Mexico, _ Mexico
_ _ [A] Francis _
[G] _ _ [D] Drake [G] said if you really want to [Em] fight
The [A] best you get is to [D] catch them in the middle of the night
We hoisted [G] anchor and piled up a [Em] gun
Then we [A] sailed around in [D] circles and just waited for the fun
We had a lot of fun, saw the pretty girl becoming
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We had some more and then we started running around
The Mississippi [A] to the Gulf of [Bm] Mexico

_ _ [Dm] _ [D] _ _ [G] the ship began to sink, [Em] the water [A] started rising
[D] So we reeled ahead of me, I laughed by chance
[G] On a man whose back was moored
[Em] But we grabbed [A] him by the trousers [D] and we plugged him in the load
We had a lot of fun, saw the pretty girl becoming
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We had some more and then we started running around
The Mississippi to the Gulf of [Bm] Mexico
_ Mexico, [D] Mexico, _ _ [Bm] Mexico
_ We [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Em] _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] got the shaggy [Em] hookah, did not [D] know why we started
Leaving the attack, we're saying
We had a lot of fun, saw the pretty girl becoming
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We had some more and then we started running around
The Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We had a lot of fun, saw the pretty girl becoming
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We had some more and then we started running around
The Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We had a lot of fun, saw the pretty girl becoming
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We had some more and then we started running around
The Mississippi to the Gulf of [Bm] Mexico _ Mexico
