[Verse 1]
We Cjust lost sight of the Queensport Flight
CRound the bay beFfore us
And the Amwind has blown some cold toFday
With just a wee touch of Gsnow.
AClong the shore near LazyFhead
CHard abeam Half FIsland
TonAmight we'll let the anchor Fgo
Down in Fogarty's CCove.
[Verse 2]
My CSally's like the raven's Fwing
Her Chair is like her mFother's
With Amhands that make quick work of a Fchore
And eyes like the top of a Gstove
Come Csupper time she'll walk the Fbeach
CWrapped in my old Fduffle
With her Ameyes upon the masthead Freach
Down in Fogarty's CCove.
[Chorus]
She will Amwalk the sandy shore so Gplain
DmWatch the combers Emroll in
'Til I Fcome to Wild Rose Chance aAmgain
GDown in Fogarty's CCove
She will Amwalk the sandy shore so Gplain
DmWatch the combers Emroll in
'Til I Fcome to Wild Rose Chance aAmgain
GDown in Fogarty's CCove

She'd Amrather I'd a government Fjob
