Cruisin Round Yarmouth

[INTRO:] G   C   G   D  G

[VERSE 1:]
While cruisin' 'round Yarmouth one 
C
day for a spree
  G                          
I met a fair damsel, the wind 
         D
blowing free
       G                      C   
"I'm a fast-going clipper, my kind
            G
 sir", says she
     C                   G
"I'm ready for cargo, my hold is 
quite free"


[CHORUS:]

Fal de-ral laddie, right fal

[VERSE 2:]
                              C
What country she came from, I could 
not tell which
    G                              
But by her appearance I thought she
     D
 was Dutch
    G                         
Her flag wore its colours, her 
 C            G
masthead was low
        C                         
She was round at the quarters and 
G
bluff in the bow

                             C
She took me upstairs and her tops'l 
she lowered
     G                           
In a neat little parlour she soon 
        D
had me moored
    G                         
She laid in her foresails, her 
 C             G
staysails and all
         C                    
With her lily-white hand on my 
 G
reef-tackle fall

[VERSE 4:]
                                C
I said, "Pretty fair maid, it's time
 to give o'er
     G                           
For 'twixt wind and water, you've 
        D
run me ashore
   G                       C      
Me shot-locker's empty, me 
      G
powder's all spent
  C                          G
I can't fire a shot for it's choked 
to the vent"

[VERSE 5:]
Here's luck to the girl with the 
C
black curly locks
       G                           
Here's luck to the girl who ran 
         D
Jack on the rocks
       G                      C   
Here's luck to the doctor who 
          G
eased all his pain
   C                           
He squared his main yards, he's 
   G
