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.

The Jeannie C. - Words & Music by Stan Rogers (March 1978) --------------
DADGBE tuning (chords at end of file)
Bmsus AGD Come all ye lads, draw near by me BmAGD That I be not forsaken BmAA/GG This day was lost the Jeannie C. AG And my living has been taken AD Bmsus / G / A / Bm7 / A7 / A I'll go to sea no more
We set out this day in the bright sunrise The same as any other My son and I and old John Price In the boat named for my mother I'll go to sea no more
Now it's well you know what the fishing has been It's been scarce and hard and cruel But this day, by God, we sure caught cod, And we sang and we laughed like fools I'll go to sea no more
I'll never know what it was we struck But strike we did like thunder John Price gave a cry and pitched overside Now it's forever he's gone under I'll go to sea no more
A leak we've sprung, let there be no delay If the Jeannie C. we're saving John Price is drown'd and slip'd away So I'll patch the hole while you're bailing I'll go to sea no more
But no leak I found from bow to hold No rock it was that got her But what I found made my heart stop cold For every seam poured water I'll go to sea no more
My God, I cried, as she went down That boat was like no other My father built her when I was nine And named her for my mother I'll go to sea no more
And sure I could have another made In the boat shop down in Dover But I would not love the keel they laid Like the one the waves roll over I'll go to sea no more
So come all ye lads, draw near by me So I be not forsaken This day was lost the Jeannie C. And my whole life has been taken I'll go to sea no more.
