"Rant and Roar" (Trad/Arr. GBS)
From "Up" (1995)
As with many GBS tunes, use a capo on the third fret.
intro:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
Until we strikes bottom inside the two sunkers
(C)
when straight through the channel to Toslow we'll go
Break: | |C A| |
I'm the son of a sea cook, I'm a cook in a trader
I can dance, I can sing, I can reef the main boom
I can handle a jigger, I cuts a fine figure
Whenever I gets in a boat's standing room
CHORUS, followed by break
Farewell and adieu to ye young maids of Valen,
Oderin and Bresque, Fox Hole and Brulee
I'm bound for the westward to the wall with the hole in
I can't marry all or in Chokey I'll be
CHORUS X2 (second time Acapella)
Break, end on A
