We were / bound home in Oct - / ober,
           
A
                   
D
From the / shores of Labra - / dor,
            
G
                     
A
Trying to / head a strong Nor?- / easter and
       
D

But the / wind swept down up- / on us, and

The / day was dark as / night,

The / land at Bacca - / lieu,

Now  we / tried to clear the / island,
        
A
                     
D
As we / brought her further / south,
          
G
But the / wind from up,

The / Nor?east stronger / blew,
                           
D
Till our lookout soon he / shouted, and
A
                    
D
There lay dead a - / head,
           
G
Though a / snow squall,
             
A
                  
D
Loomed the / Rocks at Bacca - / lieu

             
D
But it was / hard down by the / tiller,
        
A
                    
D
As we / struggled with the / sheets,
             
G
                   
A
              
D
Tryin? our / best ?to haul ?em / in a foot or / two,
           
D
Till our / decks so sharply / tilted,
           
A
                 
D
We could / barely keep our / feet,
        
G
As we / struggled,
         
A
                  
D
On the / Rocks at Bacca - / lieu.

          
D
Now the / combers beat her / under, and
    
A
                     
D
I / thought she?d never / rise, and
      
G
                   
A
                 
D
Her / main boom, it was / bending nigh in / two,
           
D
With her / lee rails two foot / under,
        
A
                
D
Three / hands upon the / wheel,
          
G
Sure we / hauled her,
           
A
                  
D
From the / Rocks at Bacca - / lieu.
