The Crawl
Spirit of the West
Well we're goEod oB7ld bEoys; we come from the North ShB7ore
ADrinkers and caErousers, the liB7kes you've never seen
And this niEght, B7by GEod! We'll drink 'til there is no moB7re
From The TArawler to The REaven with aB7ll stops in betEween
IEt all began one afternoon, on the shorB7es of Ambleside
We were sitting there quite peacefully, with the risEing of the tide
When an idea it came to mind, for to uB7sher in the fAall
SB7o we agreed next Friday night, we'd go oEut on the crawl
Chorus
We planned to have a gay old time, the cash we did not spare
We left all the cars at home, and paid the taxi fare
I got out to Horseshoe Bay, a little after five
From a table in the corner, I heard familiar voices rise
Chorus
Both spirits they ran high that night, old stories we did share
Of the days when we were younger men, and never had a care
And the beer flowed like a river, and we drank the keg near dry
So we drained down all of our glasses, and we were thirsty by-and-by
Chorus
Park Royal Hotel, the Rusty Gull, Square Rigger and Queen's Cross
We started off with eight good boys, but half had gotten lost
And you'll never keep the lads together, when their eyes begin to rove
And there was just the three of us that made it to Deep Cove
Chorus
We arrived out at The Raven, just in time for the last call
The final destination of this the first annual crawl
We dug deep into our pockets; there was no money to be found, hah
Nine miles home and for walking we are bound
Chorus
