Harbour Lecou      As I rowed ashore from my schooner closeby    a girl on the beach sure I chance to espy    her hair it was red and her bonnet was blue    her place of abode was in harbour lecou      Oh boldy I asked her to walk on the sand    she smiled like an angel and held out her hand    so I buttoned me gurnsy and hove way me chew    in the dark rollin waters of harbour lecou      My ship she lay anchored far out on the tide    as I strode along with that maid on my side    I told her I loved her I said Id be true    and I winked at the moon over harbour lecou      As we walked on the sands 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 this lassie in harbour lecou      As we passed a log cabin that stood on the shore    I met an old comrade I sailed with before    he treated me kindly, saying jack how are you?    Its seldom I see you in harbour lecou      And as I was parting this maiden in tow    he broke up my party with one single blow    he said regards to your mrs and your wee kiddies too    I remember her well she's from harbour lecou      I looked at this damsel a standin 'long side    her jaw it just dropped and her mouth opened wide   and then like she-cat upon 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 comrades you sailed with before    beware of the maidens with the bonnets of blue    and the pretty young damsels of harbour lecou.    And the pretty young damsels of harbour lecou.
