[Eb] Oh my, come [Ab] on this one's easy.
It was a lovely Monday morning and the day had been [N] calm and fine.
To the hybrid race excursion with the boys to have a time.
And just before the sailor took the gangway from the pier.
I saw some fella haul me away from board of the volunteer.
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old one cry.
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die.
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old one say.
I wish I'd [C] never taken this excursion around the bay.
We pulled 300 souls aboard, oh what a splendid sight.
That's strong and regimental to make our spirits bright.
And me self being in the double from the funny things they'd say.
They choke themselves from laughing when they see us in the bay.
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old one cry.
[E] Oh me, [N] oh my, I think I'm gonna die.
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old one say.

My wife, she got no better out, she turned a sickly green.
[A] I fed her cake and candy, fed pork and kerosene.
[E] Castor oil and sugar of candy, I rubbed tea oil [F] on her face.
And I said she'll be a dandy when we reach his harbor grace.

Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die.
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old one say.
I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay.
My wife, she got no better out, me wife, me darling dear.
The screeches from her truly you could hear in Cabernet.
I tried every place in Harbor Grace, tried every store and shop.
To get her something for a cure, I take her to the hop.
[Am]
She died below the brandies as we were coming [Ab] back.
We buried her [Gb] in the ocean, wrapped up in a union jack.
So now I am a single [N] man in search of a pretty face.
And the woman that says she'll have me, well we're off for Harbor Grace.
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old one cry.
