_ _ [Cm] _ It _ _ _
_ [Bb] was [Eb] up with the _
[Bb] dawning and down to [Cm] the _ stage,
_ _ [Eb] And was all [F] on your [Bb] oiled [Cm] clothes each morn.
_ _ _ Put your [Eb]
nine-foot oars across [Bb] her and [Bb] leave the land behind,
Had [Eb] her out through the fog on [Cm] the sand.
_ _ _ And t [F]'was Hall _ [Eb] Day, in the cross handed way,
_ [Cm] And you'd hoped [Eb] that the dogfish [F] wouldn't _ run.
_ _ Curse [Eb] thee, old black _ [Bb] ponchy, us to keep your spirits high,
_ Keep [Eb] your eye to [Bb] the westward for [Cm] the _ squall.
_ _ [Bb] Now the [Eb] cross handed set [Bb] was the _ paradise [Cm] way. _ _ _
_ It [Eb] was slow, but a man was [Cm] on his own, _ _
_ _ But you [Eb] owed no man a penny and bought your baccy with cod oil,
And your [Eb] pride was in [Bb] the _ strength of [Cm] your arm. _
_ _ [Eb] Out of the ears they passed by and [Bb] there were three daughters [Cm] born,
_ _ _ With no [Eb] sign [Bb] of a boy _ [Cm] coming on.
_ _ _ [Eb] But your woman _ didn't worry, she [Bb]
was young and fair and strong,
And she smiled from her garden [Cm] on the hill.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] And t'was Hall [Eb] _ Day, in the cross [Bb] handed way,
[Cm] And you'd hoped [Eb] that the dogfish wouldn't run.
_ _ _ _ Curse thee, old black ponchy, [Bb] us to keep your spirits high,
Keep your [Eb] eye to the [Bb] westward for the [Cm] _ squall.
_ _ _ [Bb] Now with [Eb] two boys born and coming _ into [Cm] their own, _
_ All [Eb] your _ comrades [Bb] went _ chasing [Ab] the dream.
[F] _ _
_ But [Eb] you died never knowing [Bb] of the wealth that you [Gm] passed on,
For [Ab] it's only [F] now it's starting to [Cm] be seen. _ _
_ And [Eb] t'was Hall _ _ Day, in the cross [Bb] handed way,
[Cm] And you'd hoped [Eb] that the dogfish wouldn't run. _ _
_ Curse thee, old black ponchy, [Bb] us to keep your spirits high,
Keep [Eb] your eye to the westward for [Cm] the _ squall. _
_ And t [Ab]'was Hall [Eb] Day, _ in the cross [Bb] handed way,
[Eb] And you'd hoped that the dogfish [Ab] wouldn't _ run. _ _
_ Curse [Eb] thee, old black ponchy, [Bb] us to keep your [Gm] spirits high,
Keep [Ab] your eye to [Eb] the [Bb] westward for [Cm] the _ squall. _
