[VERSE]
Come and join with Captain [C]Coulston, that [Dm]hero stout and [C]bold
Who [Dm]fought his [C]way all [F]on the sea and [Dm]never was controlled
For six long weeks in summer [C]gales, we [Dm]sailed upon the [C]sea
All [Dm]bound for [C]New York [F]City, that [Dm]city fair to see

[VERSE]
The captain and his la[C]dy, they [Dm]came on deck each [C]day
To [Dm]help us [C]with our [F]merriment, going [Dm]to Amerikay
The merriment being [C]over, we're [Dm]going to bed one [C]night
The [Dm]captain [C]he came [F]up on deck to [Dm]see if all was right

[VERSE]
He said, "My boys, do [C]not go down, you [Dm]need not think on [C]sleep
For [Dm]in a few [C]hours [F]more, we shall be [Dm]slumbering in the deep
For a pirate ship is [Ab]coming down u[Dm]pon the western [C]sea
To [Dm]rob us [C]of our [F]property, going [Dm]to Amerikay"

The pirate ship came up to [C]us and [Dm]ordered us to [C]stand
"[Dm]Your gold and [C]precious [F]loading, this [Dm]moment I demand
Your gold and precious [C]loading, re[Dm]sign to me this [C]day
Or [Dm]not a [C]soul you'll [F]ever bring un[Dm]to Amerikay"

[VERSE]
The battle it commenced, brave [C]boys, and [Dm]blood in streams did [C]flow
While un[Dm]daunted [C]did our [F]passengers, the [Dm]pirate overthrow
The cries of women and [C]children, lying [Dm]in the hull be[C]low
While the [Dm]captain [C]and his [F]passengers, the [Dm]pirate did overthrow

[VERSE]
The pirate ship sur[C]rendered, just [Dm]by the break of [C]day
And we [Dm]brought her [C]as a [F]bounty un[Dm]to Amerikay
