Verse
By the w

C
indy shores o’ Canada bay I br
G
oke my fast for Lucia’s day,
Am
A beguiling figure she blew my away & rattled me rovin’ heart,
The sn
C
ipers crack, the metronome of pr
G
icy heels on polished stone,
Am (mute)
That I were soon to call my own by way o’ the ancient art.

Verse
I were

C
cozened by a whiff-o-the-whim that sc
G

The li
Am
kes o’ men who’ve lost the lamp, the rudderless and bewildered,
The san
C
ds below are littered wi’bones o’t
G
hose whove taken a belly o’stones,
And tu
Am
rned their backs on wives & homes to follow the black Matilda.

Chorus

G
Ho-ro m’lovelies cross yer

Ye’ll never again be able to lift yer h

ortuga to Jericho,
She
Am
took three hundred souls below off the deck o’ the Andalusia,
The p
C
oets and the Sages tried to w
G
arn us down the ages,
Their b
Am
lood drips from the pages where they tell o’ the Black Matilda.

Verse
She pu

That’s e

A ba

I’ll d

ie a disenchanted man, they’ll bury me as a pauper,

Verse
For me

C

ig at Iron Cove were hung,
Wi’ a
Am
garland of the old, the young, all battered & unfamiliar,
Th
C
ere’s no poetry theres no tune, no p
G
oint in howlin’ at the moon,
A c
Am
aution to ye very soon ye’ll waltz yer Black Matilda.

Chorus

G
Ho-ro m’lovelies cross yer

Ye’ll never again be able to lift yer h
