1
The fondest wish I ever had since the day that I was weaned,
2
Is to go back and walk again on the rocks of Merasheen;
3
I still recall the sad farewell I bid her on that day,
4
When all upon a whaling ship I went to earn my pay;
5
On the hard rocks, the rocky rocks, the rocks of Merasheen.
6
From out of Rose au Rue we sailed to hunt the big fish down.
7
We sailed upon the ocean 'til we sailed the world around.
8
With girls in every port of call, I did go well astray,
9
Forsaking her I left behind back in Placentia Bay;
10
On the hard rocks, the rocky rocks, the rocks of Merasheen.
11
Now in my old and aching age, I think of her once more,
12
Of how she fared while waitin' for my knock upon her door;
13
What fate was hers I do not know, but in my sleep I've seen
14
Her walkin' on the cliffs upon the rocks of Merasheen;
15
On the hard rocks, the rocky rocks, the rocks of Merasheen,
16
On the hard rocks, the dirty rocks, the rocks of Merasheen.
