The Irish Rovers — Cape Anne

You can pass your days on the dory boat You can go with the worst and the best But don't ever sail with old Ingleman Each trip you go on could well be your last Don't you remember Cape Anne, boys Don't you remember Cape Anne You'll never catch me on the trawl again For it's surely no life for a dog or a man Don't you remember the shore, boys Don't you remember the shore And the old man asleep at the wheel, boys My God! It was black as coal Don't you remember Cape Anne, boys Don't you remember Cape Anne You'll never catch me on the trawl again For it's surely no life for a dog or a man Well the mate was the one with the gall He got the old man away from the wheel And he took him below and he locked up the hatch And he threw all the booze o'er the rail Don't you remember Cape Anne, boys Don't you remember Cape Anne But don't ever sail with old Ingleman Each trip you go on could well be your last Don't you remember Cape Anne, boys Don't you remember Cape Anne You'll never catch me on the trawl again For it's surely no life for a dog or a man
