(Rythme 3/4)
As I rode a shore from my schooner close by
A girl on the beach I did chanced to es py
But her hair it was red and her bonnet was blue
And her place of a bode was in Harbour Le Cou
Now oh boldly I asked her to walk on the sand
She smiled like an angel mand held out her hand
So I buttoned me guernsey and hoved way me chew
In the dark rolling waters of Harbour Le Cou
Now my ship she lay anchored far out on the tide
As I stroll along with that maid at me side
I told her I loved her, I said I'll be true
As I winked at the moon over Harbour Le Cou
And as we strolled a long at the close of the day
I thought of me wife who was back in Tor bay
Well I knew that she'd kill me if she only knew
I was courting the maid in Harbour Le Cou
As we passed a log cabin that stood on the shore
I met an old comrade I'd sailed with be fore
Well he treated me kindly says " John, how are you?"
It is seldom we see you in Harbour Le Cou
And as I was parting this maiden in tow
He broke up my party with one single blow
Says " Regards to your Mrs and wee kiddies too
I re member her well, she's from Harbour Le Cou"
Now I looked at this maiden a standing 'long side
Her jaw in way dropped and her mouth opened wide
And then like a she-cat u pon me she flew
And I fled from the furys of Harbour Le Cou
Come all you young sailors who walk on the shore
Be ware of old comrades you sailed with be fore
Be ware of the maidens with the bonnets of blue
And the pretty young damsels of Harbour Le Cou
