Well it was Gon this Monday morning and the day be calm and fine To the Dharbour grace excursion with the Gboys to Dhave a Gtime And just before the sailor took the gCangway from the Gpier I saw some fellow Chaul me wife aDboard as a volunGteer
[Chorus]
Oh Gme, oh my, I heard me old wife cry Oh Dme, oh my, I Gthink I'm Dgonna Gdie! Oh me, oh my, I Cheard me old wife Gsay, &quoCt;I wish I'd nGever taken thiDs excursion aroundG the bay"
[Verse 2] We had fourteen hundred souls aboard, oh what a splendid sight! Left stong and regimental to make our spirits bright And meself being in the double, when a funny things they'd say They choke themselves from laughing when they'd see us in the bay [Chorus] [Verse 3] Me wife she got no better, she turned a sickly green I fed her cake and candy, fat pork and kerosene Castor Oil and sugar of candy, I rubbed pure oil on her face And I said she'll be a dandy when we reaches Harbour Grace! [Chorus] [Verse 4] My wife she got no better, my wife me darling dear The screeches from her trollear could hear in Carbonear I tried every place in Harbour Grace, Tried every store and shop, To get her something for a cure or take her to the hop [Chorus] [Verse 5] She died below the brandy's as we were coming back We buried her in the ocean, wrapped up in a Union Jack So now I am a single man, in search of a pretty face And the woman that says she'll have me, I'm off for Harbour Grace! [Chorus]
