Barrett's Privateers

"Barrett's Privateers" is a popular folk song in the style of a sea shanty, originally written and performed by Canadian musician Stan Rogers and considered as one of the Canadian Navy's unofficial anthems. The song tells the tale of a young fisherman who enlisted on Elcid Barrett's ill-fated ship, the Antelope.
