WE'LL RANT AND WE'LL ROAR

(CLICK TO PLAY)

My name it is Robert, they call me the Sailor;
I sail on the Mudcat and have lots of fun.
Well I never thought that I'd find me a lady
But now I'm convinced that she is the one.

chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar like true Newfoundlanders,
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck and below
We'll drive and we'll drive 'til we see North Sydney
Then onto the Ferry to Newfie we'll go.

Now my little lady she eats only veggies.
With organic milk and a hen's egg or two.
But she's a fine little sea cook when she stands in the galley
She can make a fine feast out of greens and tofu.

chorus:

Well my voyage has been good, So I'm ready to do it;
A couple of thou for the rings and the rest
A couple o' dollars for clean shirt and collars,
And everything else on Amer'can Express

chorus:

Now my little maid is in love with my country
And my little maiden is in love with me
And when we've been married for three years she will be
A compatriot and so proud I'll be

chorus:

Farewell and adieu to ye fair ones of Mudcat,
Farewell and adieu to ye girls in the net;
I'm bound to my lady, and never to wander,
If she will just take now my hand for to wed.

chorus:

Come on all you laddies and lassies of Mudcat
Come dancers and singers where ever you be
We're sure to invite you to dance at our wedding
The joy of this moment we will share with thee

chorus:

My lassie and I well we met on the Mudcat
When my lady met me she made me at home
We had a fine party in that hoser tavern
A party we still have when we're on our own

chorus:

Was that a cod fish I had in my pocket
Well I'll never tell but I will tell you this
She's the loveliest woman I ever laid eyes on
And my cod gets excited whenever we kiss

chorus:

Carol......

Oh you're my best friend, you're my soul and my lover
my night and morning, beginning and end
You are the woman I worship and cherish
I want to get married so you just say when.

Will you marry me
CarolC??
