(No chord)

I'se the b'y that builds the boat and

I'se the b'y that sails her and

I'se the b'y that catches the fish and

Brings 'em home to Liza

Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour

All around the circle

Sods and rinds to cover your flake

Cake and tea for supper

Cod fish in the spring of the year

Fried in maggoty butter

All around the circle

I don't want your maggoty fish

They're no good for winter

 Well I can buy as good as that

 Way down in Bonavista!

I took Liza to a dance

 As fast as she can travel

 And every step that she could take

 Was up to her knees in gravel

All around the circle

Susan White she's outta sight

 Her petticoat wants a border

 Well old Sam Oliver in the dark

(No chord)

He kissed her in the corner!
