_ _ _ [Eb] In the mid _ -1960s, the news rang out clear
[Ab] Pack your bags [Eb] and your nets, [Fm] you must get out of here
_ [Eb] Take your picks and your shovels, your rakes and your hoes
[Ab] The [Eb] government says [Fm] you must pack [Ab] up and go
[Bbm]
[Eb] Well, the news, it seems, spread to the harbors and coves
[Ab] That the young [Eb] crowd were leaving [Fm] in hordes [Ab] and in _ droves
For to [Eb] go to Toronto, to follow their goals
[Ab] Or to go [Eb] to [Fm] Sanchus and live on the _ [Eb] dole
And out from St.
Leonard's and out from the snow
[Ab] Fifteen [Eb] crossed the bay with [Fm] their houses in [Bb] store
With [Eb] their bedding in the bow, their stoved in the stir
[Ab] Bound away with [Eb] their sons [Fm] and their [Bbm] _ [Eb] daughters _
Now skipper Jim Pittman, he said he wouldn't go
[Ab] While there's hay to [Eb] be mended [Fm] and hay to be mowed
He [Eb] said he'd never work, no matter the pay
In [Ab] some _ [Eb] hungry [Fm] out feedin' doorway
[Bbm] _ [Eb] And out from St.
Leonard's and out from the snow
[Ab] Fifteen [Eb] crossed the bay with [Fm] their houses in store
[Bb] With [Eb] their bedding in the bow, their stoved in the stir
[Ab] Bound away [Eb] with their [Fm] sons and their _ [Eb] daughters _ _

[Eb] Now and all, _ they curse and they swore
[Ab] They ran [Eb] _ [Fm] off in some distant war
[Eb] For when they ceased to ramble and they ceased to roam
[Ab] They _ [Eb] _ [Fm] were too late, they called [Bb] home
[Eb] And out from St.
Leonard's and out from the snow
[Ab] Fifteen [Eb] crossed the bay with [Fm] their houses in [Bb] store
With [Eb] their bedding in the bow, their stoved in the stir
[Ab] Bound away with [Eb] their sons [Fm] and their [Bb] _ [Eb] daughters _
Now the islands and harbors and coves are ghost towns
You [Ab] need a long liner to harvest the ground
And the big oil refinery now stands as a shrine
To the daughters and sons who remember the [Eb] time
They sailed out from St.
Leonard's and out from the snow
[Ab] Fifteen [Eb] crossed the bay with [Fm] their houses [Bb] in store
With [Eb] their bedding in the bow, their stoved in the stir
[Ab] Bound away with [Eb] their sons [Fm] and their [Bb] [Eb] daughters
