Ah for just one time, I would take the Northwest passage to the sea.
Westward from the Potomac, t'is there t'was said to lie The sea route to the orient for which so many died
God I love his songs.
Goddamn them all! I was told
We'd sail the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears!
Now I'm a broken man in a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's privateers
It's been six years since we sailed away, and I just made Halifax yesterday! God damn them all!
