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.
