[E] The pride of our island and [A] second to none.

[E] [A]
Now the store eagles [E] drown of a man [A] with a pack,
Of ten pounds of sugar [E] piled high [A] on his back.
One taken to court, [D] well he asks the [A] old judge,
Since [E] when can't a guy make a wee bit [A] of fudge?

The [E] Cape Breton silver [A] again I repeat it, hurrah.
