[00:00.00]	Dogtown (LP版) - Harry Chapin
[00:09.20]	Up in Massachusetts
[00:12.78]	There's a little spit of land
[00:16.97]	The men who make the maps
[00:20.85]	Yes they call the place Cape Ann
[00:25.08]	The men who do the fishing
[00:28.83]	Call it Gloucester Harbor Sound
[00:32.96]	But the women left behind
[00:36.92]	They call the place Dogtown
[00:42.99]	The men go out for whaling
[00:46.57]	Past the breakers and the fogs
[00:50.55]	The women stay home waiting
[00:54.04]	They're protected by the dogs
[00:58.13]	A tough old whaler woman
[01:01.48]	Who had seen three husbands drown
[01:05.91]	Polled the population
[01:09.32]	And she named the place Dogtown
[01:14.32]	There's all these grey faced women
[01:18.23]	In their black widow's gowns
[01:22.76]	Living in this graveyard granite town
[01:29.30]	Yeah you soon learn there's many
[01:33.09]	More than one way to drown
[01:36.83]	That's while going to the dogs
[01:40.92]	Here in Dogtown
[01:46.01]	And she speaks
[01:48.79]	My father was a merchant
[01:52.01]	All in the Boston fief
[01:55.70]	When my husband came
[01:57.94]	And asked him for my hand
[02:03.57]	But little did I know then
[02:07.03]	That a Gloucester whaler's wife
[02:11.22]	Marries but the sea salt
[02:14.58]	And the sand
[02:18.60]	He took me up to Dogtown
[02:22.26]	The day I was a bride
[02:25.87]	We had ten days together
[02:29.53]	Before he left my side
[02:33.05]	He's the first mate of a whaling ship
[02:36.99]	The keeper of the log
[02:40.64]	He said farewell my darling
[02:43.92]	I'm going to leave you
[02:47.30]	With my dog
[02:54.54]	And I have seen the splintered timbers
[02:58.57]	Of a hundred shattered hulls
[03:02.02]	Known the silence of the granite
[03:05.27]	And the screeching of the gulls
[03:09.16]	I've heard that crazy widow Cather
[03:12.86]	Walk the harbor as she raves
[03:17.33]	At the endless rolling whisper of the waves
[03:39.73]	Sitting by the fireside
[03:42.96]	The embers slowly die
[03:47.82]	Is it a sign of weakness
[03:51.80]	When a woman wants to cry
[03:56.83]	The dog is closely watching
[04:00.89]	The fire glints in his eye
[04:06.02]	No use to go to sleep this early
[04:10.29]	No use to even try
[04:21.53]	My blood beats like a woman's
[04:26.59]	I've got a woman's breast and thighs
[04:32.53]	But where am I to offer them
[04:36.79]	To the ocean or the skies
[04:43.46]	Living with this silent dog
[04:47.84]	All the moments of my life
[04:54.34]	He has been my only husband
[04:59.16]	Am I a widow or his wife
[05:10.43]	Yes it's a Dogtown and it's a fog town
[05:17.59]	And there's nothing around 'cept the sea pounding granite ground
[05:26.36]	And this black midnight horror of a hound
[05:43.83]	I'm standing on this craggy cliff
[05:48.10]	My eyes fixed on the sea
[05:51.97]	Six months past when his ship was due
[05:55.72]	I'm a widow to be
[05:59.67]	For liking this half living with the lonely and the fog
[06:07.37]	You need the bastard of the mating of a woman and a dog
[06:24.09]	And I have seen the splintered timbers of a hundred shattered hulls
[06:31.54]	Known the silence of the granite and the screeching of the gulls
[06:38.49]	I've heard that crazy widow Cather walk the harbor as she raves
[06:46.46]	At the endless rolling whisper of the waves
[06:53.95]	At the endless rolling whisper of the waves
[07:01.97]	At the endless rolling whisper of the waves
