I'S THE B'Y
(trad: Arranged and added to by Gordon Bok)

I's the b'y that builds the boat
And I's the b'y that sails her
I's the b'y that catches the fish
And takes then home to 'lizer

Cho: Swing your partner, Sally Tibbo
Swing your partner, Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour
All around the circle

Sods and rinds to cover your flake
Cake and tea for supper
Codfish in the spring of the year
Fried in maggoty butter!

I don't want your maggoty fish
That's no good for winter
I could buy as good as that
Down in Bonavista

I took 'Lizer to a dance
I'faith, but she could travel!
Every step that she did take
Was up to her knees in gravel!
Susan White, she's out of sight
Her petticoat needs a border
Old Sam Oliver in the dark
He kissed her in the corner!
