Excursion Around the Bay - Great Big Sea

Well it was on this Monday morning

And the day be calm and fine

A harbour grace excursion

With the boys who had the time

And just before the sailor

Took the gangway from the pier

I saw some fellow haul me wife

Aboard as a volunteer

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

We had fourteen hundred souls aboard oh what a splendid sight

Left stong and regimental to make our spirits bright

And myself being in the double when a funny things they'd say

They choke themselves from laughing when they'd see us in the bay

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

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

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

My wife she got no better my wife me darling dear

The screeches from her troll ear could hear in carbon ear

I tried every place in harbour grace

Tried every store and shop

To get her something for a cure or take her to the hop

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

She died below the brandy's as we were coming back

We buried her in the ocean wrapped up in a union jack

So now I am a single man in search of a pretty face

And the woman that says she'll have me I'm off for harbour grace

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

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
