Fogarty s Cove by Stan Rogers from first album
Chords by Bruce Duncan
Chords are right but words might be wrong
We just lost sight of the Queen s Port light
Round the Bay behind us - and the
Wind has blown some cold today
With just a wee touch of snow.
Along the shore near Lazyhead
Hard a-beem half island
Tonight we ll let the anchor go
Down in Fogarty s Cove.
Chorus:
She will walk the sandy shores so plain
Watch the combers roll in
Til I come to Wild Rose Chance again
Down in Fogarty s Cove
Verse:
My Sal is like a raven s wing
Hair is like her mother s
With hands that make quick work of a chore
And eyes like the top of a stove
Come supper time she ll walk the beach
Wrapped in my old duffle
With her eyes upon the mast head reach
down in Fogarty s cove
She cries when I m away to sea
Nags me when I m with her
She d rather I d a government job
Or maybe go on the dole
But I love her wave as I put about
And nose into the channel
My Sally keeps a supper and a bed for me
Down in Fogarty s cove.
