Excursion Around the Bay Bodh'aktan

[Verse 1]
Well it was on this Monday morning and the day be calm and fine
To the Harbour Grace excursion with the boys to have a time
And just before the sailor took the gangway from the pier
I saw some fella haul me wife aboard as a volunteer

[Chorus]
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die!
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"

[Verse 2]
We had full three hundred souls aboard, oh what a splendid sight!
Dressed all in regimental to make our spirits bright
And meself being in the double, when a funny things they'd say
They choke themselves from laughing when they'd see us in the bay

[Chorus]
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die!
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"

[Verse 3]
Me wife she got no better, she turned a sickly green
I fed her cake and candy, fat pork and kerosene
Castor Oil and sugar of candy, I rubbed pure oil on her face
And I said she'll be a dandy when we reaches Harbour Grace!
