CAPE ST.MARY'S
2
Take me back to my western boat
3
Let me fish off Cape St. Mary's
4
Where the hog-down sail
5
And the Fog horns wail
6
With my friends the Browns and the Clearys
7
Let me fish off Cape St. Mary's
8
Let me feel my dory lift
9
To the broad Atlantic combers
10
Where the tide rip swirls
11
And the wild ducks whirl
12
And old Neptune calls the numbers.
13
'Neath the wild Atlantic combers
14
Let me sail up Golden Bay
15
With my oilskins all a-streaming
16
From the thunder squalls when I hauled my trawls.
17
And my old Cape Ann a-gleaming
18
With my oilskins all a-streaming.
19
And let me view that ragged shore
20
With the beaches all a-glisten
21
With the caplin spawn
22
Where from dusk till dawn
23
You bait your trawn, and you listen
24
To the undertow a-hissin'.
25
And when I reach that last big shoal
26
Where the groundswells break asunder,
27
Where the wild sands roll to the surge's toll
28
Let me be a man and take it
29
When my dory fails to make it.
30
Oh take me back to that snug green cove
31
Where the seas roll up their thunder
32
There let me rest
33
In the Earth's cool breast
34
Where the stars shine out their wonder
35
And the seas roll up their thunder.
