THEN FROM NORTHERN MICHIGAN

The old AuSable's quiet tonight,
Sail away ladies, sail away.
See the mist rising in the pale moon light,
Sail away ladies, sail away.

CHORUS
Floating down the river in my birch canoe,
Floating down the river in my birch canoe,
Floating down the river in my birch canoe,
Just like my grandad used to do.

Me and my gal and her calico cat,
Sail away ladies, sail away.
Took a float trip down to Comins flats,
Sail away ladies, sail away
CHORUS

While floating along I caught a trout,
Sail away ladies, sail away.
It went straight away into that durn cats mouth,
Sail away ladies, sail away.
CHORUS

Going to give up fishing till this float trips done,
Sail away ladies, sail away.
Cause fish'en for cats just ain't no fun
Sail away ladies, sail away
CHORUS

Now what's a poor boy like me to do?
Sail away ladies, sail away.
But play my ukulele for you
Sail away ladies, sail away.

WILD UKULELE INSTRUMENTAL
CHORUS.

Cap't Bob
