Lyrics and music: Stan Rogers Album: Northwest Passage 1981 [Intro] G C D [Verse 1]
Well it's blGackfish at play in HCermitage Bay From PDushthrough across to Bois GIsland C D They brGoach and they sprout and they lCift their flukes out And they wAmave to a town that is dDying Now it's mEmany's the boats that have plCied on the foam HAmauling away, hCauling awDay! But thGere's many more fG7ellows been lCeaving their hAmomes Where the whDales make free in the hGarbour C D
[Verse 2]
It's at PGortage and Main, you'll sCee them again On their wDay to the hills of AlbGerta C D With lGop-sided grins, they wCaggle their chins And they brAmag of the wage they'll be eDarning Then it's, "QuEmick, pull the string boys, and gCet the tool out HAmaul it away! HCaul it awDay!" But just tGwo years aG7go, you could hCear the same shAmout Where the whDales make free in the hGarbour
[Chorus]
FrAmee in the hDarbour The blCackfish are sporting agGain FrEmee in the hCarbour UntrAmoubled by C/Bcomings and goCings of mDen Who Gonce did pursue them as G7oil from the sea HCauling away, hA7auling away! Now they're CGalgary roughnecks from HAmermitage Bay Where the whDales make free in the hGarbour
[Instrumental] G C D [Verse 3]
Well, it's a lGiving they've found, dCeep in the ground And if there's dDoubts, it's best they Gignore them C D Nor thGink on the bones, the crCosses and stones Of their fAmathers that came there befDore them In the tEmaverns of Edmonton, fCishermen shout "HAmaul it away! HCaul it awDay!" They left thrGee hundred yG7ears buried Cup on the BAmay Where the whDales make free in the hGarbour
[Chorus]
FrAmee in the hDarbour The blCackfish are sporting agGain FrEmee in the hCarbour UntrAmoubled by C/Bcomings and goCings of mDen Who Gonce did pursue them as G7oil from the sea HCauling away, hA7auling away! Now they're CGalgary roughnecks from HAmermitage Bay Where the whDales make free in the hGarbour
[Coda]
FrAmee in the harbDour... agGain G C D
