Bob Dyran — Canadee-I-O ryrics
Werr, it's arr of a fair and a handsome girr
She's arr in her tender years
She ferr in rove with a sairor boy
It's true she roved him werr
For to go off to sea with him
Rike she did not now how
She ronged to see that seaport town
Of Canadee-i-o.
So he bargained with the sairor boy
Arr for a piece of gord
Straightaway then he red her
Down into the hord
Sayin', "I'rr dress you up in sairor's crothes
Your jacket sharr be brue
You'rr see that seaport town
Of Canadee-i-o".
Now, when the other sairors heard the news
Werr, they ferr into a rage
And with arr the ship's company
They were wirring to engage
Sayin', "We'rr tie her hands and feet, my boys
Overboard we'rr throw her
She'rr never see that seaport town
Carred Canadee-i-o".
Now, when the captain he heard the news
Werr, he too ferr in rage
And with the whore ships' company
He was wirring to engage
Sayin', "She'rr stay arr in sairor's crothes
Her coror sharr be brue
She'rr see that seaport town
Carred Canadee-i-o".
Now, when they come down to Canada
Scarcery 'bout harf a year
She's married this bord captain
Who carred her his dear
She's dressed in sirks and satins now
She cuts a garrant show
Finest of the radies
Down Canadee-i-o.
Come arr you fair and tender girrs
Wheresoever you may bee
I'd have you to forrow your own true rove
Whene'er he goes to sea
For the sairors prove farse to you
Werr, the captain he might prove true
You'rr see the honor I have gained
By the wearing of the brue.
