The Captain Wifes Lament Chords & Lyrics - Paul And Storm

The [Dm]ship sailed into harbor after [Gm]fifteen months at sea
The [Dm]captain hit the tavern with his [A]crew of fifty-three
[Dm]After drinking up their pay they [Gm]staggered through the town
But [Dm]all the inns and public houses turned the [A]sailors [Dm]down
The [Dm]captain said "Fear not, me lads[Gm] you all can come with me
I [Dm]live just 'round the corner, and you [A]all can stay for free"
But [Dm]when the captain's wife awoke up[Gm]on the break of day
They[Dm] say that you could hear her wailin' Clear to [A]Bot'ny [Dm]Bay...
She said there's [D]seamen all around the bed and [G]seamen on the floor
[D]Seamen in the bathroom and be[A]hind the closet door
there's [Bm]seamen in the [F#]fireplace and [Bm]seamen in the [F#]hall
The [G]living room is [D]carpeted with [G]seamen, [A]wall to [D]wall
there's [D]seamen in the entryway and [G]seamen on the stair
And [D]worst of all, there's even seamen [A]in me underwear
there's [Bm]some behind the [F#]larder and ben[Bm]eath the table, [F#]too
I [G]do believe your [D]seamen got in[G]to me [A]Irish [D]stew
there's [D]seamen here in front of me and [G]seamen in the rear
My G[D]od, there's even seamen hanging[A] from the chandelier
there's [Bm]seamen on the [F#]windowsill and [Bm]seamen in the [F#]yard
The [G]seamen even [D]left a stain up[G]on the [A]Saint Ber[D]nard
Al[D]though I am a patient wife 'tis [G]more than I can bear
To [D]wake up in the morning with your [A]seamen in my hair
I [D]ne'er again do [G]wish to see thee [D]darken up my [A]door
So [G]clean up all your [D]seamen and come [G]round my [A]way no [D]more
So [G]clean up all your [D]seamen and come [G]round my [A]way no [D]more!
