_ Our schooner and our sloop and [F] ferry laden they delight, They're already rigged to be [C] ready for the ice, [Dm] All you lads of the southern [G] we will have you [D] to beware, She is going to the [Dm] ice [F] in the spring of the year, [Dm] Laddie-whack for the day!
[G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ We had bet we'll sport her last for [F] more than two months at least, And plenty of good rum boys stowed [C] away in our chest, [Dm] Then we'll give her a rally [G] for to praise all [D] of our fancy, Our seals will be [Dm] collected by the William and the Nancy, Laddie-whack for the day!

[G] _ _ [Dm] _ Our course will be a strong feast [F] for two days and two nights, The captain he cried out boys look [C] ahead for the ice, [Dm] Then we pulled our rounds [G] standing in from the [Am] land, [Dm] And within a few hours [F] we were firm in the jam, [Dm] Laddie-whack for [F] the day!
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ Our captain he cried out [F] come on boys and bear her hand, The cook he gets the breakfast every [C] man he takes the gram, [Dm] With their bats in their hands [G] it was early [Dm] to go, Every man showed his action [F] without the missing of a blow, [Dm] Laddie-whack for the day!

_ [Dm] _ Some were killing, some were scouting, [F] some were hauling on a board, And some of them were firing [C] and missing off their loads, [Dm] In the dusk of the [F] evening [G] it's all hands and [Dm] crew, With all hundred counted nine hundred [F] fine scouts in a whole, [Dm] Laddie-whack for the day!
[G] _
_ [Dm] _ _ Our words now we are loaded [F] and as soon as she is sound, The ice it is over [C] to pay in hand, _ [Dm] We all give her [F] a rally [G] for to praise all of [Dm] our fancy, Our seals we will collect it [F] by the William and the Nancy, [Dm] Laddie-whack for the day!
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ We are now off Cape Spear [F] and in sight of Cape Royal, We'll dance and carouse me [C] boys in just a little [F] while, [D] We'll soon enjoy [Dm] the charms of [G] our sweethearts and [Dm] our friends, And it will not be long [F] before we're coming round the bend, [Dm] Laddie-whack for the day!
