I'se The B'y that builds the boat and I'se The B'y that sails her and I'se The B'y that catches the fish and Brings 'em home to Liza [Chorus:] Hip-yer-partner Sally Thibault Hip-yer-partner Sally Brown Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour, All around the circle Salts and rinds to cover your flake, Cake and tea for supper Cod fish in the spring of the year, Fried in maggoty butter [Chorus] I don't want your maggoty fish They're no good for winter Well I can buy as good as that, Way down in Bonavista! [Chorus] I took Liza to a dance, As fast as she can travel, And every step that she could take, Was up to her knees in gravel [Chorus] Susan White she's outta sight, Her petticoat wants a border, Well old Sam Oliver in the dark, He kissed her in the corner! [Chorus] I'se The B'y that builds the boat and I'se The B'y that sails her and I'se The B'y that catches the fish and Brings 'em home to Liza [Chorus]
