[Song a Day] Stan Rogers - Barrett's Privateers

Part of the Song a Day Project!

How much do I love modern folk songs? Oh. Oh, you'll learn how much.

Please pardon the obnoxious ending and slow start for the youtube vid — it's my favourite recording and I couldn't find any other copies =\

I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers
