[Verse 1]
D
We were bound home in October,
A D
from the shores of Labrador.
G A
Trying to head a strong Nor'easter and
D
snow too.
D
But, the wind swept down up on us,
A D
and the day was dark as night,
G
just before we made
A D
the land at Baccalieu.
[Verse 2]
D
Now we tried to clear the island,
A D
as we brought her further south.
G
But, the wind from up
A D
the Nor'east stronger blew.
D
Till our lookout soon he shouted,
A D
and there lay dead ahead,
G
though a snow squall,
A D
loomed the rocks at Baccalieu.
[Verse 3]
D
But, it was hard down by the tiller,
A D
as we struggled with the sheets,
G A D
tryin' our best to haul 'em in a foot or two.
D
Till our decks so sharply tilted,
A D
We could barely keep our feet,
G
As we struggled,
A D
On the rocks at Baccalieu.
[Verse 4]
D
Now the combers beat her under, and
A D
I thought she'd never rise, and
G A D
Her main boom, it was bending nigh in two.
D
With her lee rails two foot under,
A D
Three hands upon the wheel,
G
Sure we hauled her,
A D
from the rocks at Baccalieu.
[Break]
(One verse instrumental with fiddle)
[Verse 5]
D
To leeward was the island,
A D
To windward was the shore, and
G
That blinding sleet could,
A D
cut you through and through.
D
But, our hearts were beating gladly,
A D
for no longer could we gaze,
G
down to leeward,
A D
at the rocks of Baccalieu.
G
Down to leeward,
A D
at the rocks of Baccalieu.
G A D
