Well, it was on this Monday morning
And the day be calm and fine
To the Harbour Grace 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 wife
Aboard as a volunteer
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"
We had full three hundred souls aboard
Oh what a splendid sight
Dressed all in regimental
To make our spirits bright
And meself being in the double
When a funny things they'd say
They choke themselves from laughing
When they'd see us in the bay
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"
My wife she got no better
She turned a sickly green
I fed her cake and candy
Fat pork and kerosene
Castor oil and sugar of candy
I rubbed pure oil on her face
And I said she'll be a dandy
When we reaches Harbour Grace
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"
My wife she got no better
My wife me darling dear
The screeches from her trolley
You could hear in Carbonear
I tried every place in Harbour Grace
Tried every store and shop
To get her something for a cure
Or take her to the hop
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"
She died below the brandies
As we were comin' back
We buried her in the ocean
Wrapped up in a Union Jack
So now I am a single man
In search of a pretty face
And the woman that says she'll have me
I'm off for Harbour Grace
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"
Hey!
And the day be calm and fine
To the Harbour Grace 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 wife
Aboard as a volunteer
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"

Oh what a splendid sight
Dressed all in regimental

And meself being in the double

When they'd see us in the bay
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say
