I'se the B'y |
I’se The B’y that builds the boat and |
I’se The B’y that sails her and |
I’se The B’y that catches the fish and |
Brings 'em home to Liza |
Hip-yer-partner Sally Thibault |
Hip-yer-partner Sally Brown |
Fogo, Twillingate, Morton’s Harbour, |
All around the circle |
Salts and rinds to cover your flake, |
Cake and tea for supper |
Cod fish in the spring of the year, |
Fried in maggoty butter |
I don’t want your maggoty fish |
They’re no good for winter |
Well I can buy as good as that, |
Way down in Bonavista! |
I took Liza to a dance, |
As fast as she can travel, |
And every step that she could take, |
Was up to her knees in gravel |
Susan White she’s outta sight, |
Her petticoat wants a border, |
Well old Sam Oliver in the dark, |
He kissed her in the corner! |
I’se The B’y that builds the boat and |
I’se The B’y that sails her and |
I’se The B’y that catches the fish and |
Brings 'em home to Liza |
