Great Big Sea - Barque in the Harbour ======================================= Tabbed by Owen Tosh mailfortytwo@gmail.com http://42.servehttp.com Intro: C C Dm From a barque in the harbour I went roaming on shore C And stepped into a pub where I was oft times before Dm And as I was sitting and enjoying my glass C Who chanced to walk in but a young Spanish lass
Dm She sat down beside me and kept squeezing my hand C Saying Sir you're a stranger not long to this land Dm Will you roam, Johnny Sailor, would you roam along with me C To some lonesome spot where nobody can see C Don't you leave me Johnny Sailor were the words she did cry C Waving and weeping and wiping her eyes C When you reach home in your own Newfoundland C Think of the young Spaniard who kept squeezing your hand Dm I quickly consented with her for to roam C She lived by herself in a neat little home Dm She was brisk, plump and jolly and her age scare nineteen C And the name of that maiden I think was Irene Dm One fine summer's morning our ship, she set sail C And down by the seashore lovely Irene she came Dm Waving her pocket hankerchief and wiping her eyes C Don't leave me Johnny Sailor were the words she did cry Dm I'll give you farewell love on a fine summer's breeze C But love don't forget me when you're crossing the sea Dm And when you are married and enjoying your bride Dm
