While Cruising Round Yarmouth Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Whi[G]le cruisin' round Yarmouth
one [Em]day for a spree
I [G]met a fair damsel, the wind blowin' [D]free
I'm [G]a fast -goin' clipper,
my [Em]kind sir said she
I'm [G]ready for cargo,
my hold is quite free
Singing
Fowl -der -owl -la -dee and
[Em]Fowl -der -owl -die
[G]Fowl -der -owl -la -dee and
[D]Fowl -der -owl [G]-die
What country she come from
I [Em]could not tell which
[G]By her appearance I
thought she was [D]Dutch
Her [G]flag wore its colours,
her [Em]mast -head was low
She was [G]round at the quarter
and bluff in the bow
Singin'
Fowl -de -ral -la -dee,
I'd [Em]fowl -de -ral -day
[G]Fowl -de -ral -la -dee, I'd [D]fowl -de -ral [G]-day
I gave her the rope and I [Em]took her in tow
From [G]yard arm to yard
arm a -towin' [D]we go
We [G]towed on together till
we [Em]came to the head
We [G]both towed together
through Trafalgaray Bay
And fowled her I'll laddie,
I'd [D]fowled [Em]her I'll die,
[G]Fowled her I'll laddie,
I'd [D]fowled her I'll [G]die.
She took me upstairs on
her [Em]top so she lured,
In [G]a neat little parlour
she soon had [D]me moored.
She [G]laid in her foresoles her
[Em]staysoles and all,
With her [G]lily -white [Em]hand
[G]on my reef -dagle fall.
Singin' falder, I'll laddie,
I'd [Em]falder, I'll die
[G]Falder, I'll laddie, I'd [D]falder, I'll [G]die
I said, pretty fair maid,
it's [Em]time to give o 'er
For [G]Twig's wind and water,
you've run me [D]ashore
Me [G]shot -locker's empty
and [Em]powder's all spent
I can[G]'t fire a shot for it's
choked at the vent
Singin'
Fowl -de -ral -la -dee,
I'd [Em]fowl -de -ral -day
[G]Fowl -de -ral -la -dee,
I'd [D]fowl -de -ral [G]-day
Here's Lock -do,
the girl with [Em]the black curly locks
Here's [G]Lock -do, the girl who ran
Jack on the [D]rocks
Here's Lock [G]-do,
the doctor who [Em]eased all his pain
He [G]squared his [Em]main yards,
he's [G]a -cruisin' again
I'm singing fal -der -al -da -dee -ay,
[Em]fal -der -al -day
[G]Fal -der -al -da -dee -ay,
[D]fal -der -al [G]-day
