Stan Rogers - Cliffs at baccalieu

We were / ^Cbound home in Oct - / ober, From the / ^Fshores of Labra - / ^Cdor, Trying to / ^Fhead a strong Nor?- / ^Feaster and snow / ^Ctoo, But the / ^Cwind swept down up- / on us, and The / ^Fday was dark as / ^Cnight, Just be - / ^Ffore we made, The / lan^Fd at Bacca - / ^Clieu,

Now we / ^Ctried to clear the / island, As we / ^Fbrought her further / ^Csouth, But the / ^Fwind from up, The / ^FNor?east stronger / ^Cblew, Till our lookout soon he / ^Cshouted, and ^FThere lay dead a - / ^Chead, Though a / ^Fsnow squall, Loomed the / ^FRocks at Bacca - / ^Clieu

But it was / ^Chard down by the / tiller, As we / ^Fstruggled with the / ^Csheets, Tryin? our / ^Fbest ?to haul ?em / ^Fin a foot or / ^Ctwo, Till our / ^Cdecks so sharply / tilted, We could / ^Fbarely keep our / ^Cfeet, As we / ^Fstruggled, On the / ^FRocks at Bacca - / ^Clieu.

Now the / ^Ccombers beat her / under, and I / ^Fthought she?d never / ^Crise, and Her / ^Fmain boom, it was / ^Fbending nigh in / ^Ctwo, With her / ^Clee rails two foot / under, Three / ^Fhands upon the / ^Cwheel, Sure we / ^Fhauled her, From the / ^FRocks at Bacca - / ^Clieu.

To / ^Cleeward was the / island, To / ^Fleeward was the / ^Cshore, and That / ^Fblinding sleet could, ^FCut you through and / ^Cthrough, But our / ^Chearts were beating / gladly, For no / ^Flonger could we / ^Cgaze, Down to / ^Fleeward, At the / ^FRocks of Bacca - / ^Clieu, Down to / ^Fleeward, At the / ^FRocks of Bacca - / ^Clieu, F F C
