Cape Ann Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can pass your days in the dory, boys
You can go with the worst and the best
But don't ever sail with old Engleman, boys
Each trip you go could well be your last
[Verse 2]
Oh, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
The crazy old drunk was a loser, boys
He never cared if we never made in
[Chorus]
And it's don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
You'll never catch me on the trawl again
For it's surely no life for a dog or a man
[Verse 3]
Oh, don't you remеmber the shoals, boys?
Don't you remеmber the shoals
And the old man asleep at the wheel, boys?
By God, it was black and cold
[Chorus]
Oh, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
You'll never catch me on the trawl again
For it's surely no life for a dog or a man
[Verse 4]
Well, the mate was the man with the gall, boys
He got the old man away from the wheel
And he took him below and he locked up the hatch
And he threw all the booze o'er the rail
[Chorus]
Oh, don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
You'll never catch me on the trawl again
For it's surely no life for a dog or a man
[Verse 1]
You can pass your days in the dory, boys
You can go with the worst and the best
But don't ever sail with old Engleman, boys
Each trip you go could well be your last
[Chorus]
And it's don't you remember Cape Ann, boys?
Don't you remember Cape Ann?
You'll never catch me on the trawl again
For it's surely no life for a dog or a man
