Lyrics

I'se the b'y that builds the boat,
and I'se the b'y that sails her.
I'se the b'y that catches the fish
and takes them home to Liza.

Hip your partner, Sally Tibbo.
Hip your partner, Sally Brown.
Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour,
all around the circle.

Sods and rinds to cover your flake,
cake and tea for supper. 
Cod-fish in the spring of the year,
fried in maggoty butter.

Hip your partner, Sally Tibbo.
Hip your partner, Sally Brown.
Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour,
all around the circle.

I don't want your maggoty fish,
that's no good for winter;
I could buy as good as that
down in Bonavista.

Hip your partner, Sally Tibbo.
Hip your partner, Sally Brown.
Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour,
all around the circle.

I took Liza to a dance, 
and faith but she could travel.
Every step that she did take
was up to her knees in gravel.

Hip your partner, Sally Tibbo.
Hip your partner, Sally Brown.
Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour,
all around the circle. 

Susan White she's out of sight,
her petticoat wants a border.
Old Sam Oliver in the dark,
he kissed her in the corner. 

Hip your partner, Sally Tibbo.
Hip your partner, Sally Brown.
Fogo, Twillingate, Morton's Harbour,
all around the circle.
