I'se The B'y lyrics
Song information
Artist: Great Big Sea Album: Great Big Sea
Lyrics
(Traditional - arr. gbs)
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 lizer
Chorus: Hip yer partner sally tibbo'! Hip-yer-partner sally brown! Fogo, twillingate, morton's harbour All around the circle!
Sods and rinds to cover yer flake Cake and tea for supper Codfish in the spring o' the year Fried in maggoty butter
Chorus
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
Chorus
I took lizer to a dance As fast as she can travel And every step that she did take Was up to her knees in gravel
Chorus
Susan white she's outta sight Her petticoat wants a border Well old sam oliver in the dark He kissed her in the corner!
Chorus
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
Chorus
