[Intro]
A D E A E
[Verse]
A D
We were laying in Surry Dock one day
E Bm
When the mate knew it was time to get underway
A D
He's homeward bound, but he's out of luck
E Bm
'Cause the skipper's half drunk in The Dog and Duck
[Chorus]
A
And it's stormy weather, boys
Bm
Stormy weather, boys
E
When the wind blows
A E A
The barge will go
[Verse]
D
Well, the skipper comes aboard with a girl on his arm
E Bm
He's going to give up barging and take on a farm
A D
So the mate ran forward and the cook fell in the dock
E Bm
And the skipper caught his knackers in the mainsheet block
[Chorus]
A
And it's stormy weather, boys
Bm
Stormy weather, boys
E
When the wind blows
A E A
The barge will go
[Verse]
D
So the mate's at the wheel and he's gybed her twice
E Bm
'Cause the skipper's got his knackers in a bowl of ice
[Chorus]
A
And it's stormy weather, boys
Bm
Stormy weather, boys
E
When the wind blows
A
The barge will go
[Verse]
D
At last we're off down the Lime House Reach
E Bm
When our leeboard knocked on the Greenwich Beach
A D
The barge went ashore and scared our whore
E Bm
And she says, "Chuck this, I'm off ashore!"
[Chorus]
A
And it's stormy weather, boys
Bm
Stormy weather, boys
E
When the wind blows
A
The barge will go
[Verse]
D
We shoved her off and away we did go
E Bm
But the skipper's got a bottle of beer below
A D
She fills away with a roar and a crack
E Bm
But there ain't no bargemen up on her deck
[Chorus]
A
And it's stormy weather, boys
Bm
Stormy weather, boys
E
When the wind blows
A E A
The barge will go
[Verse]
D
Then up comes a mermaid covered in mud
E Bm
And the skipper says, "I think we're off the Whittaker Spit"
A D
Then up comes another one covered in slime
E Bm
So we took her down the fo'c'sle and we had a good time
[Chorus]
A
And it's stormy weather, boys
Bm
Stormy weather, boys
E
When the wind blows
A E A
The barge will go
[Verse]
A D
On the top of the tide the barge did fleet
E Bm
But the mate saw a ghost on the tops'il sheet
A D
So away we did go and the ghost did steer
E Bm
And the cook got in the dregs of the Old Man's beer
[Chorus]
A
And it's stormy weather, boys
Bm
Stormy weather, boys
E
When the wind blows
A E A
The barge will go
[Instrumental]
A D E Bm
A D E Bm
[Verse]
A D
We laid close-hauled around Orford Ness
E Bm
When the wind backed round to the south-sou'-west
A D
We reached our port all safe and sound
E Bm
And tied her up in Yarmouth Town
[Chorus]
A
And it's stormy weather, boys
Bm
Stormy weather, boys
E
When the wind blows
A D E Bm
The barge will go
[Verse]
A D
So after all our fears and alarms
E Bm
We all ended up in The Druid's Arms
[Chorus]
A
And it's stormy weather, boys
Bm
Stormy weather, boys
E
When the wind blows
A
The barge will go
