Fantastic Newfoundland song that is originally done with fiddle. Chords are my best interpretation.
Capo I
[Verse 1]
GFather fished six days a week
He Dwent to church on GSunday
GHe confessed his sins and then he’d begin to
Dsin again on GMonday
But Cdon’t get me Gwrong
He never Csinned indeed no Gworse
Gbut sin in word But you should have heard
The Cway that Dman could Gcurse
He went:
[Chorus]
GLord liftin’, leaping lyin’, Cdear ravin’ and dancing dyin’,
Gsufferin’ thunderin, workin’ wonderin’, Drobbin’ gobbin’ Ghairy,
Ghells fire, firey flamin’, Cscreechin’ screamin’, namin’ blamin’,
Gson of a no good, merciful-mudder, of Cjumpin DJoseph GMurphy!
[Verse 2]
GOne day Father fished his last
It Dhappened this a-Gway
GHe snagged his finger on a hook and the Dboat began to Gsway
Oh he Cfell into the Gwater
But he Cnever should have Gdrowned
GBut he couldn't keep his mouth shut
The Cthird time Dhe went Gdown
[Verse 3]
GSome say he’s down below
But DI don't believe that's Gtrue
GI dare allow he’s in heaven above
DTurning the air bright Gblue
For CI remember GFather
The happiest Ctime he ever Gwas
GCursin’ till he was blue in the face
He had Ctime for Dnothing Gelse
He went…
