Captain Coulston

Dm

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

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

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

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

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

[Verse]
                   C              
The pirate ship surrendered, just 
Dm              C
by the break of day
       Dm          C    F        
And we brought her as a bounty unto 
Dm
Amerikay
