[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
