Sur le bord de l'eau nous irons jouer dans l'isle.

Combien vendez-vous votre blé-nous irons jouer sur le bord de l'eau [repeat]
Seulement pour vous, six sous le boisseau-nous irons jouer sur le bord de l'eau. Nous irons jouer dans l'isle.

J'entends ma mere m'appeler pour souper- nous irons jouer sur le bord de l'eau [repeat]
Et les petits enfants pleurer-nous irons jouer sur le bord de l'eau. Nous irons jouer dans l'isle
Sur le bord de l'eau nous irons jouer dans l'isle.

Oh, oh la belle vous mentez- nous irons jouer sur le bord de l'eau [repeat]
Jamais d'enfants vous n'avez eu- nous irons jouer sur le bord de l'eau. Nous irons jouer dans l'isle.
Sur le bord de l'eau nous irons jouer dans l'isle [repeat 2x]

"Ferryland Sealer"

Oh, our schooner and our sloop in Ferryland they do lie
They are already rigged to be bound for the ice
All you lads of the Southern we will have you to beware
She is going to the ice in the Spring of the year

[Chorus:]

Laddie whack fall the laddie, laddie whack fall the day

Our course be east-north-east for two days and two nights
Our captain he cried out "Boys, look ahead for the ice!"
He hove her about standing in for the land,

And 'twas in a few hours we were firm in the jam.

Oh our captain he cried out, "Come on boys and lend a hand!"
Our cook he gets the breakfast and each man takes a dram.
With their hats in their hands it was earlye for to go,
Every man showed his action 'thout the missing of a blow

Some were killing some were scalping, some were hauling on board,
Some more they were firing and a-missing of their loads.
In the dusk of the evening all hands in from the cold,
And we counted nine hundred fine scalps in the hold.

We are now off Cape Spear and in sight of Cape Broyle
We will dance, sing, carouse, my boys, in just a little while.
We will soon enjoy the charms of our sweethearts and friends,

"Can't Stop Falling"

I wasn't looking for a lover,
I wasn't looking for a friend
I wasn't working undercover, wasn't trying to pretend
But when you walked across the dance floor,
just like the moon across the sky
I knew that I would have to see more,
knew that I would have to try
One look into your eyes, and I realize...

[Chorus]
Oh no I can't stop falling
My heart betrays me
And I know I'll start to feel it all again

Won't someone save me

She jumped aboard the brown line,
I accidentally caught her eye
She told me she was born a Libra,
I told her I was Gemini
She made suggestive conversation,
then she lightly brushed my hand
Overcome by her temptations,
we jumped off down by the strand
And in the English night, I realize it again...

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
She asks me to come inside,
we can just talk for a while
I wonder if I should
but her touch, her touch, it feels so good.

But I look into your eyes, and I realize it again.

[Chorus]

"Old Brown's Daughter"

There is an ancient party at the other end of town
And he keeps a little grocery store, the ancients name is Brown
And he has a lovely daughter, such a treat I never saw
Oh I only hope someday to be the old man's son-in-law.

Well, Old Brown he sells from off his shelf most anything you please
He's got juice tarts for the little boys, lollipops and cheese
And his daughter minds the store, and it's a treat just to see her serve

I'd like to run away with her but I don't have the nerve

[Chorus:]

And it's old Brown's daughter is a proper sort of girl,
Old Brown's daughter is a fair as any pearl
I wish I were a Lord Mayor, a Marquis or and Earl
And blow me if I wouldn't marry old Brown's girl.
Blow me if I wouldn't marry old Brown's girl.

Wel,l poor old Brown now has trouble with the gout,
He grumbles in his little parlour when he can't get out
Oh and when I make a purchase, lord, and she hands me the change

That girl she makes pulverized, I feel so very strangeChorus

But Miss Brown she smiles so sweetly when I say a tender word
Ah but old brown says that she must wed a Marquis or a Lord,
And I don't suppose it's ever one of those things I will be
But by jingo next election I will run for Trinity

[Chorus]

"I'm A Rover"

Though the night be dark as dungeon, not a star to be seen above
I will be guided without a stumble, into the arms of me only love.
I went up to her bedroom window, kneeling gently upon a stone
I rapped on her bedroom window "My darling dear, do you lie alone"?

[Chorus:]

I'm a rover , seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
Ans when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company.

She raised her head up from her feather pillow, raised her arms up around her breast,
Saying "Who's at me bedroom window, disturbing me at me long night's rest?
"It's only me, your own true lover, open the door and please let me in.

For I have come on a long night's journey. I am near drenched to the skin".

[Chorus]

She opened the door with the greatest pleasure, opened the door and she let me in
We both shook hands and embraced each other. 'Til the morning we lay as one.
"Well now me love, I must go and leave you, though the mountains be high above
Well, I will climb them with greater pleasure that I have been with me only love".
