Thread Name: Origins: I'se The B'y / Ise the Boy
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sally Gribble ! (I'se The B'y)
Great Big Sea version
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 Tibbo Hip-yer-partner Sally Brown Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour, All around the circle Sods 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
