The Longest Johns - The curse

A ^Amyoung boy I was barely ^Cout of my home I ^Gstepped to the world with a ^Fmeaning to ^Eroam I ^Amsigned with a captain who ^Cpromised me gold And ^Gadventure to quicken the ^Fheart of the^E bold For ^Amfourteen odd years I did ^Estruggle ^E7alone For the ^Amcause I worked my fingers ^Edown to t^E7he bone Saw ^Amnaught but the scuppers saw^E naught of m^E7y pay Then was ^Amcast off and ^E7sent on my ^Amway A ^Amcurse upon you sir oh ^Ffall thick and ^Efast! Your ^Amdays have been numbered each ^Fhour your ^Elast! May the ^Amland, sea or sky turn to ^Eswallow you^F whole! And forer' ^Amner' forg^E7et what you s^Amtole I f^Amound me some cohorts the ^Cbravest and true No ^Gcaptain was prouder to ^Fcall such men ^Ecrew They could^Am rally a cry and the b^Cattle was won I'd ^Gface off a cannon if t^Fhey but l^Eooked on The ^Ammutinous dogs bound my h^Eands while I s^E7lept Swapped their ^Amhonor for treasures and ^Egold that we ^E7kept Threw me ^Amover the side with all ^Ekindness I'd ^E7shown Now I ^Amvow to sail a^E7lways al^Amone A c^Amurse upon you sir oh f^Fall thick and ^Efast! Your^Am days have been numbered each ^Fhour your ^Elast! May the ^Amland, sea or sky turn to s^Ewallow you^F whole! And forer' ^Amner' forg^E7et what you ^Amstole I ^Ammet a fair maiden one ^Cround upon shore I ^Gfell for her smile as I'd n^Fer' done bef^Eore I p^Amledged her my world for as l^Cong as I lived I'd have ^Goffered her more if I ^Fhad more to ^Egive My p^Amockets she emptied still I ^Eoffered the ^E7rest She o^Ambliged and then ripped out the ^Eheart from my c^E7hest She s^Ament me adrift free to ^Efloat to world's ^E7end W^Amith a bottle as^E7 my only ^Amfriend A ^Amcurse upon you sir oh f^Fall thick and ^Efast! Your ^Amdays have been numbered each h^Four your^E last! May the ^Amland, sea or sky turn to s^Ewallow you ^Fwhole! And forer' ^Amner' for^E7get what you ^Amstole Now m^Amaybe there's some of you ^Cwondering hence Not a^Gll parts of my life fit ^Ftogether with ^Esense If t^Amhese are your thoughts allow^C me to explain Listen c^Glose now for I will ^Fnot say it a^Egain I ^Amcurse you yourself with the ^Edoubts that you've ^E7shown! For ^Amthis is my life and I ^Emade it my ^E7own Walk a ^Ampath and you'll have your own s^Etories in ^E7time Til that ^Amday I shall ^E7drink just to ^Ammine A c^Amurse upon you sir oh fall ^Fthick and f^East! Your ^Amdays have been numbered each ^Fhour your ^Elast! May the l^Amand, sea or sky turn to s^Ewallow you ^Fwhole! And for^Amer' ner' for^E7get what you ^Amstole
