  On one  dark night on Lake  St. Claire, the wind  she blow  and  blow.
  The crew  of the wood scow Julie Plante got scared  and run below.
  The wind  she blow like a hurricane,  maybe  she blow some more.
  Julie Plante  bust up off old  Grosse Pointe,  one mile from  the shore.
 (turnaround: =>=>=>=>)
  The Captain walked on the fore deck. He walked the aft deck too.
  He called the crew up from the hold, the Cook he called also.
  That Cook, her name was Rosie, she come from Montreal.
  She was chambermaid on a lumber barge on the Grand LaChine Canal.
  The night was dark like one black cat. The waves run high and fast.
  The Captain took little Rosie girl, he lashed her to the mast.
  Then he give her his life preserve, and he jumped off in the Lake
  Saying, “Oh farewell my Rosie girl, I go drown for your sake
 ”
  Now all you Great Lake sailormen, take lesson from that storm.
  Go you marry some nice French girl, and live on a Grosse Pointe farm.
  Then the wind she blow like hurricane, maybe she blow some more…
  You can’t get drowned on Lake Ste Claire so long as you stay onshore.
