Stormy Weather Lyrics & Chords By Tony Rose

We was laying in Surrey Dock one day
When the mate said that it was time to get under way.

Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys,
When the wind blows our barge will go.

Now the skipper he's homeward bound but he's out of luck,
'Cause the skipper's half drunk in the Dog and Duck.

Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys,
When the wind blows our barge will go.

Then the skipper come aboard with a girl on his arm,
He's going to give up barging and take on a farm.

Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys,
When the wind blows our barge will go.

We sailed away and she sails like heck
There ain't no bargemen up on deck.

Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys,
When the wind blows our barge will go.

We sailed her up, we sailed her down,
We sailed her into Yarmouth town.

Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys,
When the wind blows our barge will go.

We sailed her round Orford Ness,
The wind backed her round to the south south west.

Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys,
When the wind blows our barge will go.

On top of the tide it's the barge did fleet,
The mate saw a ghost in the main mast sheet.

Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys,
When the wind blows our barge will go.

Now the mate set the wheel, the ghost did steer,
The cook drank the dregs of the old man's beer.

Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys,
When the wind blows our barge will go.

Then up jumped a mermaid, covered in slime,
We sat her in the fo'c'sle and we had a good time.

Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys,
When the wind blows our barge will go.

So after all our fears and alarm
We all ended up in the Druid's Arm.

Stormy weather boys, stormy weather boys,
When the wind blows our barge will go.
