Great Big Sea - Excursion Around The Bay Lyrics

Well it was on this monday morning

And the day be calm and fine

A harbour grace excursion

With the boys who had the time

And just before the sailor

Took the gangway from the pier

I saw some fellow haul me wife

Aboard of the Volunteer

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 truely 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 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]
