I'se The B'y Lyrics - Great Big Sea - Great Big Sea

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 

Hip-yer-partner Sally Brown 

Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour, 

All around the circle 

Sods and rinds to cover your flake, 

Cake and tea for supper 

Cod fish in the spring of the year, 

Fried in maggoty butter 

CHORUS 

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! 

CHORUS 

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 

CHORUS 

Susan White she's outta sight, 

Her petticoat wants a border, 

Well old Sam Oliver in the dark, 

He kissed her in the corner! 

CHORUS 

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
