Song Name: Great Big Sea/Gone By The Board
(Traditional - Arr. GBS / Hallett)
A great big sea hove in Long Beach, Whack fol-or-al ta-dee di-dle, I do. A great big sea hove in Long Beach, And Granny Snooks she lost her speech, To me right fol didy fol dee.
A great big sea hove in the Harbour, Whack fol-or-al ta-dee di-dle, I do. A great big sea hove in the Harbour, And hove right up to Keough's Parlour, To me right fol didy fol dee.
Mother dear I wants a sack, Whack fol-or-al ta-dee di-dle, I do. Mother dear I wants a sack With beads and buttons all down me back, To me right fol didy fol dee.
Me boot is broke, me frock is tore, Whack fol-or-al ta-dee di-dle, I do. Me boot is broke, me frock is tore, But Granny Snooks I do adore, To me right fol didy fol dee.
Fish is gone and the flour is high, Whack fol-or-al ta-dee di-dle, I do. Fish is gone and the flour is high, Granny Snooks she can't have I, To me right fol didy fol dee.
She will have me in the fall, Whack fol-or-al ta-dee di-dle, I do. If she don't I'll hoist my sail Hove right up to old Cannaille, To me right fol didy fol dee.
A great big sea hove in Long Beach, Whack fol-or-al ta-dee di-dle, I do. A great big sea hove in Long Beach, And Granny Snooks she lost her speech, To me right fol didy fol dee.
