Boston Harbour Chords & Lyrics - The Watersons

[VERSE 1]
[F]From Boston Harbour [C]we set sail
When it was blowin' the [F]devil of a gale,
With the ring-tail set all [C]avast the mizzen peak
And [G]Rule Britannia [C]ploughin' up the deep.

[CHORUS]
[F]With a big bow-wow! [C]Tow-row-row!
[F]Fol de [C]rol de [F]ri [C]do [F]day!

[VERSE 2]
[F]Then up come the skipper from [C]down below,
It's "Look aloft, lads, [F]look alow!”
And it's Look alow! and it's [C]Look aloft!
And [G]coil up your ropes, lads, [C]fore and aft!

[CHORUS]
[F]With a big bow-wow! [C]Tow-row-row!
[F]Fol de [C]rol de [F]ri [C]do [F]day!

[VERSE 3]
[F]Then down to his cabin well he [C]quickly crawls,
An to his poor old [F]steward bawls,
Go and mix me a glass that will [C]make me cough
For it's [G]better weather here than it [C]is on top.

[CHORUS]
[F]With a big bow-wow! [C]Tow-row-row!
[F]Fol de [C]rol de [F]ri [C]do [F]day!

[Vwerse 4]
[F]Now there's one thing that we [C]have to crave:
That the captain meets with a [F]watery grave.
So we'll throw him down into [C]some dark hole
Where the [G]sharks 'll have his body and the [C]devil have his soul.

[CHORUS]
[F]With a big bow-wow! [C]Tow-row-row!
[F]Fol de [C]rol de [F]ri [C]do [F]day!
