Real McKenzies

^D a noble whale ship and commande ^G r
^D called the Catalpa, they say ^Bm
D she sailed into Western Austra ^G lia
^D and took six poor ^A Fenians ^D away
^D so come all you screw warders and ^G jailers
^D remember Perth regatta ^Bm day
^D take care of the rest of your ^G Fenians
^D or the Yankees will s ^A teal them a ^D way
^D you kept them in Western Aust ^G ralia
^D till their hair it began to turn ^Bm grey
^D when a Yank from the States of Am ^G erica
^D came out here and s ^A tole them aw ^D ay
^D now all the Perth boats were a- ^G racing
^D and making short tacks fot the ^Bm spot
^D but the Yankee she tacked into ^G Fremantle
^D and took the best priz ^A e of the l ^D ot
^D so come all you screw warders and ^G jailers
^D remember Perth regatta ^Bm day
^D take care of the rest of your ^G Fenians
^D or the Yankees will s ^A teal them aw ^D ay
^D the Georgette armed with bold wa ^G rriors
^D went out the poor Yanks to arr ^Bm est
^D but she hoisted her star-spangled ^G banner
^D saying you'll not boar ^A d me i g ^D uess
^D so remember those six Fenians ^G colonial
^D and sing o'er these few verses with ^Bm skill
^D and remember the Yankee that stole ^G them
^D and the home that they ^A left on the ^D hill
^D so come all you screw warders and ^G jailers
^D remember Perth regatta ^Bm day
^D take care of the rest of your ^G Fenians
^D or the Yankees will s ^A teal them aw ^D ay
