Catalpa
A C noble whaleship and comman F der
C Called the Catalpa, they Am say
C Sailed into Western Aust F ralia
And C stole six poor G Fenians C away
CHORUS (sing between each verse)
So C come all you screws, warders n F jailers,
C Remember Perth Regatta Am Day,
C You'd better take care of your F Fenians,
Or the C Yankies will G steal them C away.
Now C all the Perth boats were F a-racing
And C making short tacks for the Am spot
When the C Yankees sailed into Fre F mantle
And C took the best G prize of the C lot
CHORUS
So C come all you screws, warders n F jailers,
C Remember Perth Regatta Am Day,
C You'd better take care of your F Fenians,
Or the C Yankies will G steal them C away.
The C Georgette manned with bold F warriors,
C Went out to the Yanks to Am arrest,
C But she hoisted her star-spangled F banner,
Saying C 'You will not G board me I C guess'.
CHORUS
So C come all you screws, warders n F jailers,
C Remember Perth Regatta Am Day,
C You'd better take care of your F Fenians,
Or the C Yankies will G steal them C away.
For C seven long years they were F serving,
C And seven long more had to Am stay,
C For defending their country, Old Ire F land,
For C that they were G banished C away.
CHORUS
So C come all you screws, warders n F jailers,
C Remember Perth Regatta Am Day,
C You'd better take care of your F Fenians,
Or the C Yankies will G steal them C away.
You C kept them in Western F Australia
C Till their hair had turned to Am grey,
C When the Yanks from the States of F America
Came C out here and G stole them C away.
CHORUS
So C come all you screws, warders n F jailers,
C Remember Perth Regatta Am Day,
C You'd better take care of your F Fenians,
Or the C Yankies will G steal them C away.
Now C Remember these Fenian F colonials,
And C sing o'er these verses with Am skill,
And C remember the Yankees that stole F them
And C the home that they G left on the C hill.
CHORUS
So C come all you screws, warders n F jailers,
C Remember Perth Regatta Am Day,
C You'd better take care of your F Fenians,
Or the C Yankies will G steal them C away.
They C landed safely in F America
Where C they will be able to Am cry,
C 'Hoist the Green Flag with the F Shamrock,'
C 'Hurrah for Old G Ireland we’ll C die.'
CHORUS
So C come all you screws, warders n F jailers,
C Remember Perth Regatta Am Day,
C You'd better take care of your F Fenians,
Or the C Yankies will G steal them C away.
