Strum

 It's at / Portage  and Main you'll / see them again,
 On their / way to  the hills of Al - / berta.
 With / lop-side  grins, they / waggle their chins,  and
 They / brag  of the wage they'll be / earnin'.
 Then it's / quick,  pull the string boys, and
Get  the / tool out,
Haul  it a - way, / Haul it  a - way!
 But just / two years  ago, you could / hear the same shout,
 Where the / whales make  free in the / harbour.
Free  in the / Harbour;  the / Blackfish are  sporting a - / gain,
 Free  in the / Harbour;  un - / troubled by comings and / goings of men,
 Who / once did  pursue them as / oil from the sea,
Hauling  a - way, / Hauling a  - way!
 Now they're / Calgary roughnecks  from / Hermitage Bay,
 Where the / whales make  free in the / harbour.
 Well, it's a / living  they've found, / deep in the ground,  and
 If there's / doubts,  it's best they ig - / nore them.
 Nor / think  on the bones, the / crosses and stones,
 Of their / fathers  that came there be - / fore them.
 In the / taverns  of Edmonton, / fishermen shout,
Haul  it a - way, / Haul it  a - way!
 They left / three  hundred years buried / up by the Bay,
 Where the / whales make  free in the / harbour.
Free  in the / harbour...a  - / gain.
