Intro:
Em , D , A , C , D , Em x2
Em D A
On the lake at Bistineau, she set the wharf at dixie
C D Em
With a thousand bales of Cotton on her main
Em D A
As the Great raft disappeared, the watermark went sinking
C D Em
And she was stuck right hard, a listing on the bank
Em D A
With the furnace still a blaze, I stood my last upon her
C D Em
Then Climbed the prow and took a landsman’s trade
Em D A
“A derelict now Milady” said the watch log I’ve Concorded
C D Em
“Have the bosun sound us eight bells for the Change”
Chorus:
Em D C G
I was born with rouging ways, and she steered me like a woman
C B7
From the port calls and the bawds that lead me stray
Em D C G
The Calliope serenades, made the old towns Come running
C B7
And the boys would Gamble shards to pull her Chains
Em D C G
And I would take to wider walks, so the Gin I stopped a drinking
C B7
At three scores aloft this Crooked frame
C D Em
The striker’s boast would fain me loss, about the wrecks the shoals were a keeping
C D Em
And how the old Girl’s Got poor Billy’s ransom saved
Outro: Em , D , A , C , D , Em x2
