I'se the B'y

1)  I'se the b'y that builds the boat
And I'se the b'y that sails her
And I'se the b'y that catches the fish
And brings them home to Lizer

 

Chorus:  Hip your partner Sally Tibbo
Hip your partner Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Mortan's Harbour
All around the circle

 

2)  Cods and rinds to cover your flake
Cake and tea for supper
Cod fish in the spring of the year
Fried in maggoty butter

Chorus:

 

3) I don't want your maggoty fish
That's no good for winter
I can get as good as that
Down in Bonavista

Chorus:

 

4)  I took Lizer to a dance
As fast as she would travel
And every step that she would take
Was up to her knees in gravel

Chorus:

 

5)  I'se the b'y that builds the boat
And I'se the b'y that sails her
And I'se the b'y that catches the fish
And brings them home to Lizer

Chorus:
