(finger picking) rest rest rest rest
verse 1 finger picking
Take me back to my western boat,
Let me fish off cape St. Mary's
where the hag downs sail
and the fog horns wail
with my friends
the browns and the cleary's
let me fish off cape St. Mary's
Let me feel my dory lift
to the broad Atlantic combers
where the tide rips swirl
and the wild ducks whirl
where old Neptune calls the numbers
'nethe the broad Atlantic combers
verse 3 start strumming
Let me sail up golden bay
with my oilskins all a streamin'
from the thunder squall
when I hauled me trawl
and my old cape Ann a gleamin'
with my oilskins all a streamin
let me view that rugged shore
where the beaches all a-glisten
with the caplin spawn
where from dusk to dawn
you bait your trawl and listen
to the undertow a-hissin'
when I reach that last big shoal
where the ground swells break asunder
where the wild sands role
to the surges toll
let me be a man and take it
when my dory fails to make
it take me back to that snug green cove
where the seas roll up their thunder
start picking
there let me rest
in the earth's cool breast
where the stars shine out their wonder
And the seas roll up their thunder
Repeat first verse with strumming
There ya go!!! dude
