We have a MIDI for this song, but I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere. As soon as I post them, somebody's going to point out that they've been posted six times before.
Such is life.
This is from Gordon' Bok's Folk-Legacy CD, North Wind's Clearing, which I think is one of his best.

CAPE ANN
(Gordon Bok, BMI)

You can pass your days in the dory, boys;
You can go with the worst and the best,
But don't ever go with old Engleman, boys:
Each trip you go could well be your last.

Don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
Oh, that crazy old drunk was a loser, boys,
He never cared if we never made in.

Don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
You'll never catch me on the trawl again,
For it's surely no life for a dog or a man.

Don't you remember the Shoals, boys?
Don't you remember the Shoals?
And the Old Man asleep at the wheel, boys,
By God, it was black and cold.

Well, the mate was the man with the gall, boys;
He got the Old Man away from the wheel.
He took him below and he locked up the hatch,
And he threw all the booze o'er the rail.
