When I was a young man just barely fourteen, craving adventure and lore, |
| [00:17.26] |
I boarded a clipper, me Dad was the skipper, and sailed it along the French Shore yeah, |
| [00:25.34] |
We sailed all along the French Shore. |
| [00:29.52] |
What beautiful vessels were sailing back then, all bound for the North Labrador, |
| [00:37.99] |
And so for that reason they came here that season to sail all along the French Shore, yeah, |
| [00:46.27] |
To sail all along the French Shore. |
| [00:56.83] |
On each ship a maiden was hired to cook, a beautiful girl to adore, |
| [01:04.91] |
So young and cavorting, all ready for courting, while sailing along the French Shore, yeah, |
| [01:13.18] |
While sailing along the French Shore. |
| [01:17.57] |
Being too young for courting I soon did decide, to spy on the lovers on shore, |
| [01:25.74] |
I spied on a couple so loving and supple, while sailing along the French Shore, yeah, |
| [01:34.41] |
While sailing along the French Shore. |
| [01:38.30] |
They're actions peculiar appeared to me then, but now they're not funny no more, |
| [01:46.27] |
They were hugging and kissing, oh what I've been missing, |
| [01:50.56] |
While sailing along the French Shore, yeah, |
| [01:54.74] |
While sailing along, sailing along, sailing along the French Shore. |
| [02:17.97] |
That couple has children now married I know, |
| [02:21.86] |
You see they're not young anymore, |
| [02:26.24] |
Still yet they don't know how I witnessed the show that they played |
| [02:31.33] |
All along the French Shore, yeah, |
| [02:34.51] |
They played along the French Shore. |
| [02:39.40] |
That ends the story of my bonnie days, would that I could live them once more, |
| [02:47.07] |
And this much I know, I'd produce my own show, |
| [02:51.96] |
And I'd stage it along the French Shore, yeah, |
| [02:56.24] |
While sailing along, sailing along, |
| [03:00.43] |
While sailing along, sailing along, while sailing along the French Shore. |
| [03:10.40] |
