[Verse 1]
GWell it was on this Monday morning and the day be calm and fine
D G D GTo the harbour grace excursion with the boys to have a time
C GAnd just before the sailor took the gangway from the pier
C D GI saw some fellow haul me wife aboard as a volunteer
[Chorus]
GOh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
D G D GOh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die!
C GOh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say,
C G D G"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"
[Verse 2] We had fourteen hundred souls aboard, oh what a splendid sight! Left stong and 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] [Verse 3] 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] [Verse 4] My wife she got no better, my wife me darling dear The screeches from her trollear 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] [Verse 5] She died below the brandy's 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]
