Harbour LeCou Great Big Sea

As I rowed ashore from my schooner close by
A girl on the beach there I chanced to espy
Her hair it was red and her bonnet was blue
Her place of abode was in Harbour Lecou
Oh boldly I asked her to walk on the sand
She smiled like an angel and held out her hand
So I buttoned me guernsey and hoved way me chew
In the dark rolling waters of Harbour Lecou

My ship she lay anchored far out on the tide
As I strolled along with that maid at my side
I told her I loved her, I said I'll be true
And I winked at the moon over Harbour Lecou
As we walked on the sands at the close of the day
I thought of my wife who was home in Torbay
I knew that she'd kill me if she only knew
I was courting this lassie in Harbour Lecou

As we passed a log cabin that stood on the shore
I met an old comrade I'd sailed with before
He treated me kindly saying "Jack, how are you?
It's seldom I see you in Harbour Lecou"
And as I was parting, this maiden in tow
He broke up my party with one single blow
He said "Regards to your missus, and your wee kiddies too
I remember her well, she's from Harbour Lecou"
