A long way from Lunenburg she went down

Cause Skipper John ran and wouldn't heave to
Dm
C DmFrom the lees he would take the Imalone
To the coast of Louisiana and anchor south of the Trinity Shore
Where he would meet his man and discharge his cargo according to plan
Chorus
And it was all clear sailing for the Imalone
With the profits from 6 or 7 trips salted down
The coast guard had bothered them a couple of times
But skipper John's seamanship had left them behind
One march morning in the wind and the squall
She was reaching along under jumbo jib and storm try sail
When the cutter Dexter cut in on the Imalone's starboard quarter
Chorus
The Dexter's captain was a very rough man
He swore he'd never lose the Imalone again
He ran a stream of signals saying' \\" how do you do?\\"
Ya know that I'll fire if you don't heave to
