[00:09.09]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.
