Fogarty's Cove.
Stan Rogers (1976)
---D---------------------------------G-----D---------------G
We just lost sight of the Queensport light down the bay be-fore us
-----Bm---------------------------G----------------------------D
& the wind has blown some cold to-day with just a wee touch of snow
--D------------------------G----D---------------G
A-long the shore from Lazy Head hard abeam Half Island
---Bm----------------------G-D--------A---------D
To-night we let the anchor go down in Fogarty's Cove
---------Bm----------------------A------Em----------------F#m
She will walk the sandy shore so plain, watch the combers roll in
-------G--------------------------D----A-----------------D
'Til I come to Wild Rose Chance a-gain down in Fogarty's Cove
-------Bm---------------------A----Em----------------F#m
She'll walk the sandy shore a-gain, watch the combers roll in

'Til I come to Wild Rose Chance a-gain down in Fogarty's Cove.
My Sally's like a raven's wing, her hair is like her mother's
With hands that make quick work of a chore and eyes like the top of a stove
Come suppertime she'll walk the beach wrapped in my old duffel
With her eyes upon the Masthead Reach, down in Fogarty's Cove
repeat chorus:
She cries when I'm away to sea, nags me when I'm with her
She'd rather I'd a government job, or maybe go on the dole
But I love her wave as I put about and nose into the channel
My Sally keeps a supper and a bed for me down in Fogarty's Cove
repeat chorus twice.
