Chorus: | |
Well we're good old boys, we come from the Northern Shore | |
Drinkers and carousers the likes you've never seen | |
And this night by God! We drank ‘til there was no more | |
From the Troller to the Raven with all stops in between. | |
But it all began one afternoon on the shores of Ambleside | |
We were sittin' there quite peacefully with the rising of the tide | |
When an idea it came to mind for to usher in the fall | |
So we all agreed next Friday night we'd go out on the crawl | |
Chorus | |
We planned to have a gay old time, the cash we did not spare | |
So We left all the cars at home and paid the taxi fare | |
I got out to Horseshoe Bay a little after five | |
From a table in the corner I heard familiar voices rise | |
Chorus | |
Spirits they ran high that night old stories we did share | |
Of the days when we were younger men and never had a care | |
The beer flowed like a river and we drank the keg near dry | |
So we drained down all our glasses and were thirsty bye and bye | |
Chorus | |
Park Royal Hotel, The Rusty Gull, Square-Rigger and Queens Cross | |
We'd started out with eight good boys but half had gotten lost | |
For you'll never keep the lads together when their eyes began to rove | |
So there was just the three of us that made it to Deep Cove | |
Chorus | |
We arrived out at The Raven just in time for the last call | |
The final destination of this the first annual crawl | |
We dug deep into our pockets there was no money to be found | |
Nine miles home and for walking we are bound |
