Time: 6/8

-4  6    -6*  6-5*  6   -4
Oh ship-mates come gath-er
-4   7  -6*  6 -6* -4
And join in my dit-ty
-4 -4 -5 6  -5  -5  -4
Of a ter-ri-ble bat-tle
 3   -3   -4  -5*  6
That hap-pened of late
-4   6  -6* 6-5* 6   -4
Let each Un-ion tar shed
-4 7  -6*  6 -6* -4
A tear of his pi-ty

 -5  -4   3   -3  -4   -5*    6

 -4   6  6 7  -7   -8
When man-y a brave tar
-7  7    -7   -8  7  6
To this world bid a-dieu
 7   -4  -4-3  -4
Our flag was wrapped
3 -4 -5   6  -5 -5  -4
In a man-tle of glo-ry
-4 -4  7 -6* 6   6
By the he-ro-ic deeds
-4  3  -3  -4   -5*    6
Of the Cum-ber-land’s crew
