  The Jeannie C. - Words & Music by Stan Rogers (March 1978)

  --------------

  

  DADGBE tuning (chords at end of file)

  

       Bmsus  A     G            D

  Come all ye lads, draw near by me

       Bm   A      G  D

  That I be not forsaken

       Bm      A        A/G     G

  This day was lost the Jeannie C.

         A              G

  And my living has been taken

       A           D         Bmsus / G / A / Bm7 / A7 / A 

  I'll go to sea no more

  

  We set out this day in the bright sunrise

  The same as any other

  My son and I and old John Price

  In the boat named for my mother

  I'll go to sea no more

  

  Now it's well you know what the fishing has been

  It's been scarce and hard and cruel

  But this day, by God, we sure caught cod,

  And we sang and we laughed like fools

  I'll go to sea no more

  

  I'll never know what it was we struck

  But strike we did like thunder

  John Price gave a cry and pitched overside

  Now it's forever he's gone under

  I'll go to sea no more

  

  A leak we've sprung, let there be no delay

  If the Jeannie C. we're saving

  John Price is drown'd and slip'd away

  So I'll patch the hole while you're bailing

  I'll go to sea no more

  

  But no leak I found from bow to hold

  No rock it was that got her

  But what I found made my heart stop cold

  For every seam poured water

  I'll go to sea no more

  

  My God, I cried, as she went down

  That boat was like no other

  My father built her when I was nine

  And named her for my mother

  I'll go to sea no more

  

  And sure I could have another made

  In the boat shop down in Dover

  But I would not love the keel they laid

  Like the one the waves roll over

  I'll go to sea no more

  

  So come all ye lads, draw near by me

  So I be not forsaken

  This day was lost the Jeannie C.

  And my whole life has been taken

  I'll go to sea no more.
