As I rowed ashore from my schooner close by A girl on the beach I chanced to espy Her hair it was red and her bonnet was blue And her place of abode was in Harbour LeCou
Well boldly I asked her to walk on the strand She smiled like an angel and held out her hand So I buttoned me guernsey and hove 'way me chew In the dark rolling water of Harbour Le Cou
My ship she lay anchored far out on the tide As I walked along with the maid at my side I told her I loved her, I said I'd be true And I winked at the moon over Harbour LeCou
As we walked on the shore at the close of the day I thought of my wife who was home in Torbay I knew that she'd kill me if she only knew I was courting a lassie in Harbour LeCou
As we passed a log cabin that stood on the shore I met an old shipmate I'd sailed with before He treated me kindly, saying "Jack, how are you? It's seldom I see you in Harbour LeCou."
And I was parting this maiden in tow He broke up my party with one single blow Saying "Regards to your Mrs, and your wee kiddies too I remember her well, she's from Harbour LeCou."
Well I looked at this damsel a-standing longside Her jaw it had dropped and her mouth opened wide And then like a she-cat apon me she flew And I fled from the furies of Harbour LeCou
So come all ye young sailors who walk on the shore Beware of old shipmates you've sailed with before Beware of the maiden in the bonnet of blue And the pretty young damsels of Harbour LeCou
