[Verse 1]
Am G Am Me bully boys of Liverpool I'll have you to beware Am G Am When you sail in them packet ships no dungaree jumpers wear C Am C G But have a good monkey jacket all ready to your hand Am G Am For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland
[Chorus]
C Am C G We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand Am G Am For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland
[Verse 2]
Am G Am Well we had Jack Lynch from Ballynahinch, Mike Murphy and some more Am G Am And I tell you well, they suffered like hell on the way to Baltimore (To Baltimore!) C Am C G They pawned their gear in Liverpool, and sailed as they did stand Am G Am For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland
[Chorus]
C Am C G We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand Am G Am For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland
[Verse 3]
Am G Am Well the mate he stood on the fo'c'sle head and loudly he did roar Am G Am Come rattle her in, me lucky lads, you're bound for America's shore (America's shore!) C Am C G Come wipe the blood off that dead man's face, and haul or you'll be damned Am G Am For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland
[Chorus]
C Am C G We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand Am G Am For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland
[Verse 4]
Am G Am And now it's reef and reif, me boys, with the canvas frozen hard Am G Am At each mountain pass every mother's son on a ninety-foot tops'l yard (Tops'l yard!) C Am C G Never mind about boots or oilskins, but haul or you'll be damned (Haul or you'll be damned!) Am G Am For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland
[Chorus]
C Am C G We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand Am G Am For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland
[Verse 5]
Am G Am And now we're off the hook, me boys, and the land is white with snow Am G Am And soon we'll see that paytable and we'll spend the whole night below (Night below!) C Am C G And on the docks, come down in flocks, them pretty girls will say Am G Am Well it's snugger with me than on the sea, on the Banks of Newfoundland
[Outro]
C Am C G We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand Am G Am For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland C Am C G We'll scrape her and we'll scrub her, with holystone and sand Am G Am For there blow some cold nor'westers on the Banks of Newfoundland
