    Ah for just one time, I would take the Northwest passage to the sea.

    Westward from the Potomac, t’is there t’was said to lie The sea route to the orient for which so many died

      God I love his songs.

      Goddamn them all! I was told

      We’d sail the seas for American gold

      We’d fire no guns, shed no tears!

      Now I’m a broken man in a Halifax pier

      The last of Barrett’s privateers

        It’s been six years since we sailed away, and I just made Halifax yesterday! God damn them all!
