The The Abyss Lyrics
I'S THE B'Y<br />
(trad: Arranged and added to by Gordon Bok)<br />
<br />
I's the b'y that builds the boat,<br />
and I's the b'y that sails her,<br />
I's the b'y that catches the fish,<br />
And takes then home to 'lizer.<br />
<br />
cho: Swing your partner, Sally Tibbo,<br />
Swing your partner, Sally Brown,<br />
Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour,<br />
All around the circle<br />
<br />
Sods and rinds to cover your flake,<br />
Cake and tea for supper,<br />
Codfish in the spring of the year,<br />
Fried in maggoty butter!<br />
<br />
I don't want your maggoty fish,<br />
That's no good for winter.<br />
I could buy as good as that,<br />
Down in Bonavista<br />
<br />
I took 'Lizer to a dance,<br />
I'faith, but she could travel!<br />
Every step that she did take<br />
Was up to her knees in gravel!<br />
<br />
Susan White, she's out of sight,<br />
Her petticoat needs a border,<br />
Old Sam Oliver in the dark<br />
He kissed her in the corner!<br />
