  Didn't see a tab for this gem of a song thought I would gift you all with it.
[Verse 1]
Our Ggood captain's pride
Was the Cportrait of his GBride
He kept it in a very special Dplace
HGe'd say, "When I've had enough
And I Cfeel like giving Gup
I pull it out and Dlook into her Gface
And it's Cnot 'cause of love
And it's Gnot 'cause she's my dove
It reCminds me of why I'm out at Dsea
And Gwhen I feel like quitting
I reCmember all her Gspitting
And her cussing and her Dhurling knives at Gme."
 [Chorus]
Well the Crations are thin
And the Gropes tear at our skin
And the CSpanish they will try and take me Dlife
But I Gwon't go home
'Cross the sCeas I will Groam
It's better than lDiving with me Gwife
[Verse 2]
GWe'd returned from a trip
Set to Cunload the Gship
When a rope slipped away from its plDace
But Gpoor old Mickey Goff
It Ctore his leg right Goff
And sent him straight Ddown on his Gface
We were Cabout to cut free
And to Gsail out to sea
Mickey Chopped up with a scowl upon his Dface
He said "I'm Ggoing with you
I'm not Cstaying with that Gshrew
Now 'fDore she comes lets get out of this Gplace."
 [Chorus]
Well the Crations are thin
And the Gropes tear at our skin
And the CSpanish they will try and take me Dlife
But I Gwon't go home
'Cross the sCeas I will Groam
It's better than lDiving with me Gwife
[Verse 3]
GI saw Benji McGee
As he wCashed out to Gsea
When a wave swept him over the Ddeck
Our Gsailors were tough
But the Cstorm proved too Grough
If we turned her around Dshe would Gwreck
And as the Csea pulled him down
But Gbefore he could drown
I Cheard him yell with his last Dbreath
"Tell that Gharpy at home
I am Cfree from her Gscorn!
I finally find Dpeace in my Gdeath!"
 [Chorus]
Well the Crations are thin
And the Gropes tear at our skin
And the CSpanish they will try and take me Dlife
But I Gwon't go home
'Cross the sCeas I will Groam
It's better than lDiving with me Gwife
[Ending Chorus]
Well the Crations are thin
And the Gropes tear at our skin
And a Cfalling mast could Grip you in half
You could Cget keelhauled
Or Gcatch a cannonball
But at Cleast I'm not Dhome with me...

[Verse 1]

Our good captain's pride

C G

Was the portrait of his Bride

He kept it in a very special place

He'd say, "When I've had enough

C G

And I feel like giving up

D G

I pull it out and look into her face

And it's not 'cause of love

And it's not 'cause she's my dove

C D

It reminds me of why I'm out at sea

And when I feel like quitting

C G

I remember all her spitting

D G

And her cussing and her hurling knives at me."

[Chorus]

Well the rations are thin

And the ropes tear at our skin

C D

And the Spanish they will try and take me life

But I won't go home

C G

'Cross the seas I will roam

D G

It's better than living with me wife

[Verse 2]

We'd returned from a trip

C G

Set to unload the ship

When a rope slipped away from its place

But poor old Mickey Goff

C G

It tore his leg right off

D G

And sent him straight down on his face

We were about to cut free

And to sail out to sea

C D

Mickey hopped up with a scowl upon his face

He said "I'm going with you

C G

I'm not staying with that shrew

D G

Now 'fore she comes lets get out of this place."

[Chorus]

Well the rations are thin

And the ropes tear at our skin

C D

And the Spanish they will try and take me life

But I won't go home

C G

'Cross the seas I will roam

D G

It's better than living with me wife

[Verse 3]

I saw Benji McGee

C G

As he washed out to sea

When a wave swept him over the deck

Our sailors were tough

C G

But the storm proved too rough

D G

If we turned her around she would wreck

And as the sea pulled him down

But before he could drown

C D

I heard him yell with his last breath

"Tell that harpy at home

C G

I am free from her scorn!

D G

I finally find peace in my death!"

[Chorus]

Well the rations are thin

And the ropes tear at our skin

C D

And the Spanish they will try and take me life

But I won't go home

C G

'Cross the seas I will roam

D G

It's better than living with me wife

[Ending Chorus]

Well the rations are thin

And the ropes tear at our skin

C G

And a falling mast could rip you in half

You could get keelhauled

Or catch a cannonball

C D

But at least I'm not home with me...
