W: Oh, Sally is the pride of Cat Harbour.
W: She ain't been swung since 'way last year,
W: Drinkin' rum and wine and cassie
W: What the boys brought home from St. Pierre.

W: Oh, Sally got a bouncin' new baby,
W: Father said that he didn't care;
W: Because he liked the Feller From Fortune,
W: What was down here fishin' last year.
W:
W: Oh, Sally goes to church every Sunday,
W: Not to sing nor for to hear;
W: But to see the Feller From Fortune,
W: What was down here fishin' last year.
