| Original Source: | LyricWiki |
| Well it was on this Monday morning And the day be calm and fine To the Harbour Grace excursion With the boys to have a time And just before the sailor Took the gangway from the pier I saw some fella haul me wife Aboard as a volunteer Chorus: Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die! Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say, "I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay" We had full three hundred souls aboard, oh what a splendid sight! Dressed all in regimental to make our spirits bright And meself being in the double, when a funny things they'd say They choke themselves from laughing when they'd see us in the bay Chorus Me wife she got no better, she turned a sickly green I fed her cake and candy, fat pork and kerosene Castor Oil and sugar of candy, I rubbed pure oil on her face And I said she'll be a dandy when we reaches Harbour Grace! Chorus My wife she got no better, my wife me darling dear The screeches from her gob you could hear in Carbonear I tried every place in Harbour Grace, Tried every store and shop, To get her something for a cure or take her to the hop Chorus She died below the brandies as we were coming back We buried her in the ocean, wrapped up in a Union Jack So now I am a single man, in search of a pretty face And the woman that says she'll have me, I'm off for Harbour Grace! Chorus | |
