On wan dark night on Lac St. Pierre,
De win` she blow, blow, blow,
An` de crew of de wood scow "Julie Plante"
Got scar`t an` run below—
For de win` she blow lak hurricane,
Bimeby she blow some more,
An` de scow bus` up on Lac St. Pierre
Wan arpent from de shore.
De captinne walk on de fronte deck,
An` walk de hin` deck too—
He call de crew from up de hole,
He call de cook also.
De cook she `s name was Rosie,
She come from Montreal,
Was chambre maid on lumber barge,
On de Grande Lachine Canal.
De win` she blow from nor` -eas` -wes`,—
De sout` win` she blow too,
W`en Rosie cry, "Mon cher captinne,
Mon cher, w`at I shall do ?"
Den de captinne t`row de beeg ankerre,
But still de scow she dreef,
De crew he can`t pass on de shore,
Becos` he los` hees skeef.
De night was dark lak wan black cat,
De wave run high an` fas`,
W`en de captinne tak` de Rosie girl
An` tie her to de mas`.
Den he also tak` de life preserve,
An` jomp off on de lak`,
An` say, "Good-bye, ma Rosie dear,
I go drown for your sak`."
Nex` morning very early
`Bout ha`f-pas` two—t`ree—four—
De captinne—scow—an` de poor Rosie
Was corpses on de shore,
For de win` she blow lak hurricane,
Bimeby she blow some more,
An` de scow bus` up on Lac St. Pierre,
Wan arpent from de shore.
MORAL
Now all good wood scow sailor man
Tak` warning by dat storm
An` go an` marry some nice French girl
An` leev on wan beeg farm.
De win` can blow lak hurricane
An` s`pose she blow some more,
You can`t get drown on Lac St. Pierre
So long you stay on shore.
