We'll [C]scrape her and we'll [Am]scrub her,With [C]holy stone and s[G]and
For there b[Am]low some cold nor'westers on the [G]banks of Newfo[Am]undland
We [Am]had Jack Lynch from Ballynahinch,[G]Mike Murphy and some [Am]more
an' I [Am]tell you b’ys, well they suffered like hell on thei[G]r way to Balt[Am]imore
[C] [Am] [C] (G)

But there [Am]blow some cold nor'westers on the [G]banks of Newfound[Am]land

Now the [Am]mate he did stand on the foc'sle head and [G]loudly he did [Am]roar
"Come [Am]rattle her in me lucky lads, You're [G]bound for America's [Am]shore.
[C] [Am] [C] (G)
Come wipe the blood off the dead man's face And haul or you'll be damned!"
For there [Am]blow some cold nor'westers on the [G]banks of Newfound[Am]land

We'll [C]scrape her and we'll [Am]scrub her,With [C]holy stone and s[G]and
For there b[Am]low some cold nor'westers on the [G]banks of Newfo[Am]undland
So [Am]now we're off the hook me boys, and the [G]land is white with [Am]snow
