I'se the Bye Carl Peterson Songtext
von Carl Peterson

I′se the bye that builds the boat
And I'se the bye that sails her
I′se the bye that catches the fish and takes them home to Liza

Hip your partner, Sally Tibbo
Hip your partner, Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbor
All around the circle

Sods and rinds to cover your flake
And cake and tea for supper
Codfish in the spring of the year
Fried in maggoty butter

Hip your partner, Sally Tibbo
Hip your partner, Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbor
All around the circle


I don′t want your maggoty fish
That′s no good for winter
I could buy better than that
Down in Bonavista

Hip your partner, Sally Tibbo
Hip your partner, Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton's Harbor
All around the circle

I took Liza to a dance
Thinking she could travel
Every step that she would take
She was up to her knees in gravel

Hip your partner, Sally Tibbo
Hip your partner, Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton′s Harbor
All around the circle

Well, I'se the bye that builds the boat
And I′se the bye that sails her
And I'se the bye that catches the fish and takes them home to Liza


Hip your partner, Sally Tibbo
Hip your partner, Sally Brown
Fogo, Twillingate, Moreton′s Harbor
All around the circle
