Barret's privateers

Me syng fem vers, som på innspelinga de finn her under (05 Barret's privateers).

Robert:

Oh, the year was 1778

A letter of marque come from the king,

To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen

Odd-Ivar:

The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight,

She'd a list to the port and and her sails in rags

And the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags

Robert:

On the 96th day we sailed again,

When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight

With our cracked four pounders we made to fight

Odd-Ivar:

Then at length we stood two cables away,

Our cracked four pounders made an awful din

But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in

Robert:

So here I lay in my 23rd year,

It's been 6 years since we sailed away

And I just made Halifax yesterday
