Here are the lyrics. I'SE THE B'Y I'se the b'y that builds the boat And I'se the b'y that sails her I'se the b'y that catches the fish And takes 'em home to Liza CHORUS: Hip yer partner Sally Tibbs Hip her partner, Sally Brown Fogo, Twillingate, Mortons Harbour All around the circle Sods and rinds to cover your plate Cake and tea for supper Codfish in the spring of the year Fried in maggoty butter I took Liza to a dance And faith! but she could travel Ev'ry step that she did take Was up to her knees in gravel Susan White she's out of sight Her petticoat wants a border Old Sam Oliver in the dark He kissed her in the corner. I have heard more verses to this, but I don't have them. I think it's one of those songs that every singer adds a more fantastic verse too. Hope it's a start. Catfeet
