All you sea barren men, you're bound to sail again

     D             Bm              Em   A7
Far away from your mooring down in Portsmouth

          D           G        D          Bm
With your mast strung high and wavin’ goodbye

       D           A       D
To the lassies you left on shore
[Chorus]

I've a fine strong crew and I tell them what to do

                    G               D             Bm
She's my joy and my pride and she's twenty meters wide

So haul down the riggin' for we're bound to sail away

 D                Bm              Em            A7
Across the ragin' ocean and we're sailin' out today

    D          G           D                Bm
And if we do return you're bound to hear us say

We’ll be going to sea once more

Well my shipmates and me, we sail from sea to sea

         D      Bm                    Em A7
With the wind a-whistlin' through the sails

           D            G          D                  Bm
Though the crew gets no rest, they think that I'm the best

        D                   A          D
Cause I bailed them one and all out of jail

We've a vast haul of rum, a cargo we will run

      D        Bm                Em A7
From along the far off shores of Haiti

         D          G        D                  Bm
With the brisk salt air just blowin' through me hair

       D            A              D
At the wheel of the ship The Bonny Lady
