[ch]Dm[/ch]\r\nOn the Imalone.[/tab]\r\n\r\nIt was in nineteen hundred and twenty nine\r\nWhen smuggling liquor was a profitable pastime\r\nMany a Maritimer didn't see why, he shouldn't turn a penny Uncle Sam was dry\r\nMany a family took a style\r\nProhibition made it very worthwhile to be a good Samaritan\r\nTo long suffering, thirsty Americans.\r\n\r\nChorus\r\n\r\nAnd the schooner's captain was a wild Newfoundlander\r\nA hard-drivin man name of John Thomas Randall\r\nA decorated veteran of the First World War, a sea-going gentleman adventurer\r\n>From the lees he would take the Imalone\r\nTo the coast of Louisiana and anchor south of the Trinity Shore\r\nWhere he would meet his man and discharge his cargo according to plan\r\n\r\nChorus\r\n\r\nAnd it was all clear sailing for the Imalone\r\nWith the profits from 6 or 7 trips salted down\r\nThe coast guard had bothered them a couple of times\r\nBut skipper John's seamanship had left them behind\r\nOne march morning in the wind and the squall\r\nShe was reaching along under jumbo jib and storm try sail\r\nWhen the cutter Dexter cut in on the Imalone's starboard quarter\r\n\r\nChorus\r\n\r\nThe Dexter's captain was a very rough man\r\nHe swore he'd never lose the Imalone again\r\nHe ran a stream of signals saying' \"how do you do?\"\r\nYa know that I'll fire if you don't heave to\r\nSkipper John semaphored immediately, I'm on the high seas\r\nYou have no jurisdiction over me\r\nThe Dexter's captain sent several vollies through the Imalone's rigging\r\n\r\nChorus\r\n\r\nThe bullets tore the booze and the sails and the lines\r\nThey even tore a hole in the red ensign\r\nWhen Skipper John saw it he was fit to be tied\r\nAt the disrespect shown to his national pride\r\nThe crew said sir don't you trouble your mind\r\nWe'll all go down together with the red ensign a flying'\r\nHe signalled to the Dexter to shoot and be dammed to you I'll not surrender\r\n\r\nChorus\r\n\r\nThe Dexter opened fire and it didn't take long\r\nWhen her guns stitched a seam along the Imalone's waterline\r\nSkipper John ordered every man to the sea\r\nThere was water on the bridge when he himself jumped free\r\nStern in the air the Imalone went down\r\nHeavy seas a running it's a wonder only one man was drown\r\nThe bosun was the one who was pulled aboard the cutter when his life was gone\r\n\r\nChorus\r\n\r\nAnd that's how it happened and there isn't much more\r\nThe Imalone became an international affair\r\nSkipper John and his seamen were all released\r\nThe US government couldn't make a case\r\nThat kind of violence is bound to happen\r\nWhen a law like prohibition sits up and begs to be broken\r\nWe still remember the story of the Imalone and Skipper John
