I'se The B'y

Lyrics

I's the b'ye that builds the boat
 And I's the b'ye that sails her
 I's the b'ye that catches the fish
 And brings 'em home to Lizer
 Hip yer partner, Sally Tibbo
 Hip yer partner, Sally Brown
 Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour
 All around the circle!
 Sods and rinds to cover your flake
 Cake and tea for supper
 Codfish in the spring o' the year
 Fried in maggoty butter.
 Hip yer partner, Sally Tibbo
 Hip yer partner, Sally Brown
 Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour
 All around the circle!
 I don't want your maggoty fish
 They're no good for winter
 Well I could buy as good as that
 Down in Bonavista.
 Hip yer partner, Sally Tibbo
 Hip yer partner, Sally Brown
 Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour
 All around the circle!
 {smoothly}
 I took Liza to a dance
 As fast as she could travel
 And every step that she did take
 Was up to her knees in gravel.
 Hip yer partner, Sally Tibbo
 Hip yer partner, Sally Brown
 Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour
 All around the circle!
 Susan White, she's out of sight
 Her petticoat wants a border
 Well Old Sam Oliver in the dark
 He kissed her in the corner.
 Hip yer partner, Sally Tibbo
 Hip yer partner, Sally Brown
 Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour
 All around the circle!
 I's the b'ye that builds the boat
 And I's the b'ye that sails her
 I's the b'ye that catches the fish
 And brings 'em home to Lizer
 Hip yer partner, Sally Tibbo
 Hip yer partner, Sally Brown
 Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbour
 All around the circle!
