Biografia:
Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.
Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

[Verse 1]
C * G C
Oh, the year was seventeen seventy-eight
* F C G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C *
A letter of marque came from the king
* * G F
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen
[Chorus]
G C * F
God damn them all, I was told,
C F C F
We'd cruise the seas for A-merican gold
G C G F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C F C F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers
[Verse 2]
C * G C
Well, Elcid Barrett cried the town
* F C G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C *
For twenty brave men, all fishermen, who
* * G F
Would make for him the Antelope's crew
[Chorus]
G C * F
God damn them all, I was told,
C F C F
We'd cruise the seas for A-merican gold
G C G F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C F C F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers
[Verse 3]
C * G C
The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight
* F C G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C *
She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags
* * G F
And the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags
[Chorus]
G C * F
God damn them all, I was told,
C F C F
We'd cruise the seas for A-merican gold
G C G F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C F C F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers
[Verse 4]
C * G C
On the King's birth-day we put to sea
* F C G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C *
We were ninety-one days to Mon-tego Bay
* * G F
Pumping like madmen all the way
[Chorus]
G C * F
God damn them all, I was told,
C F C F
We'd cruise the seas for A-merican gold
G C G F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C F C F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers
[Verse 5]
C * G C
On the ninety-sixth day we sailed a-gain
* F C G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C *
When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight
* * G F
With our cracked four-pounders, we made to fight
[Chorus]
G C * F
God damn them all, I was told,
C F C F
We'd cruise the seas for A-merican gold
G C G F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C F C F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers
[Verse 6]
C * G C
The Yankee lay low down with gold
* F C G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C *
She was broad and fat and loose in stays
* * G F
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days
[Chorus]
G C * F
God damn them all, I was told,
C F C F
We'd cruise the seas for A-merican gold
G C G F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C F C F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers
[Verse 7]
C * G C
Then at length we stood two cables a-way
* F C G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C *
Our cracked four-pounders made an awful din
* * G F
But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in
[Chorus]
G C * F
God damn them all, I was told,
C F C F
We'd cruise the seas for A-merican gold
G C G F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C F C F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers
[Verse 8]
C * G C
The Antelope shook and pitched on her side
* F C G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C *
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
* * G F
And the main-truck carried off both me legs
[Chorus]
G C * F
God damn them all, I was told,
C F C F
We'd cruise the seas for A-merican gold
G C G F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C F C F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers
[Verse 9]
C * G C
So here I lay in me twenty-third year
* F C G (*)
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now
C G C *
It's been six years since we sailed a-way
* * G F
And I just made Halifax yester-day
[Chorus]
G C * F
God damn them all, I was told,
C F C F
We'd cruise the seas for A-merican gold
G C G F (*)
We'd fire no guns, shed no tears
C F C F
But I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
* * G C
The last of Barrett's Priva-teers
