I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship

'Davy Crockett' is her name
    C              F          C
And Burgess is the Captain of her
                          G        C
And they say that she's a floating shame

I have sailed with Burgess once before
                        G
He's a man I know right well
     C                       F    C
If a man is a sailor, he can get along
                       G       C
And if nothing, he is sure in Hell

Chorus:
   G                  F        C

Now the sun is on the harbour, love
                     G
And I wish I could remain
      C                 F          C
For I know it will be a long, long time
             G    C
Before I see you again
 C         N.C.
(Here we go!)
