the Cove I'm bound to the westward, to the wall with the hole in I'll take her from Toslow the wide world to rove. Farewell and adieu to ye girls of St. Kryan's Of Paradise and Presque, Big and Little Bona I'm bound unto Toslow to marry sweet Biddy And if I don't do so I'm afraid of her da'. I've bought me a house from Katherine Davis A twenty pound bed from Jimmy McGrath I'll get me a settle, a pot and a kettle And then I'll be ready for Biddy, hurrah! O, I brought in the Ino this spring from the city, Some rings and gold brooches for the girls in the Bay; I bought me a case-pipe —- they call it a meerschaum —- It melted like butter upon a hot day. I went to a dance one night at Fox Harbour, There were plenty of girls, so nice as you'd wish; There was one pretty maiden a-chewin' of frankgum Just like a young kitten a-gnawing fresh fish. Then here is a health to the girls of Fox Harbour Of Oderin and Presque, Crabbes Hole and Brule Now let ye be jolly, don't be melancholy I can't marry all or in chokey I'd be. We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below Until we see bottom inside the two sunkers When straight through the Channel to Toslow we'll go.
