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. CHORUS:. Hip-yer-partner Sally Tibbo.
Though the night is dark as dungeon. Not a star to be seen above. I will be guided without a stumble. Into the arms of my only love. . I went up to her bedroom window.
"It's a cold day for September", was all I thought to say. When I saw you on the street the other day. I knew something changed between us, all the talk we made was small.
There's a wedding in the chapel. And the bride is oh so happy. And daddy's got a shotgun in his hand. . The groom is sweatin' bullets. As the priest steps to the pulpit.
In the midnight moon light hour. I keep walking along that lonely mile. And everytime I do. I keep seeing this picture of you. . CHORUS:. Here comes my baby.
The sun must set to rise. The light will leave your eyes again. Then breaking like morning's dawn. Does summer feel the winter come. . The hardest part of life.
I was just seventeen, when I made the AHL. I couldn't skate in junior, but my fists rang like a bell. I'll never win a title, and I'll never win the cup.
If the last thing I see is your face. If the last thing I feel is your embrace. Then I would not be afraid. I would go to a happy grave. If the last thing I see is you.
I haven't seen you in a long time. Since I've been gone. It always seemed to be the wrong time. It's the same old song. . Looks like we'll never be together.
Granny's always ravin' and rantin'. And she's always puffin and pantin'. And she's always screamin' and shoutin'. And she's always brewin' up tea. . Grand pappy's never late for his dinner.
She goes down fast and comes up slow. Gets in high and goes out low. Turns up late or doesn't show. She spends all her cash on letting go. . I'm never early.
Harbour Lecou. . As I rowed ashore from my schooner closeby. a girl on the beach sure I chance to espy. her hair it was red and her bonnet was blue. her place of abode was in harbour lecou.
(Traditional - Arr. GBS). . Well, they call me Hangin' Johnny. Away boys, away. Well, I never hanged nobody. And it's hang boys, hang. . Well, first I hanged me mother.
Greenspond is a pretty place, and so is Pinchard's Island. Mom will buy me a new fur coat when da gets home from swilin'. . Here he comes as white as ghosts.
Written by Colin Hay. I Haven't seen you in a long time. Since I've been gone. It always seemed to be the wrong time. Its the same old song. Looks like we'll never be together.
Fancy brings a thought to me. Of flowers bright and fair. Grace and beauty there combine. To make that thought more rare. Like a maiden that I know. Who shared my happy lot.
The world today can be a scary place;. Hard to keep your faith in the human race.. We're runnin' outta trees,. And we're runnin' outta space,. But we'll never run out of good people..
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh. Oh oh oh, oh oh oh. Oh oh oh, oh oh oh. Oh oh oh, oh oh oh. . Well, come gather all around me. There is something you should know.
Well general Taylor gained the day. Walk him along, John, carry him along. Well general Taylor he gained the day. Carry him to his bury'n ground. . Tell me way, hey, you stormy.
Hang man, hang man. Hold a little while.. I think I see my brother coming,. Riding many a mile.. Brother did you bring me some silver?. Did you bring a little gold?.
