[Verse 1]
All you Maine-men, proud and young
When you've run your Easting down
Don't go down to Fundy Bay
She'll wear your time away
[Verse 2]
Fundy's long and Fundy's wide
Fundy's fog and rain and tide
Never see the sun or sky
Just the green wave passing by
[Chorus]
Cape Sable's horn blows all day long
I wonder why, I wonder why
[Verse 3]
You know, I would rather ride
The Grenfell Strait or the Breton tide
Spend my days on the Labrador
Never see old Fundy's shore
[Verse 4]
Give her staysail, give her main
In the darkness and the rain
I don't mind the wet and cold
I just don't like the growing old
[Chorus]
Capе Sable's horn blows all day long
I wonder why, I wonder why
Capе Breton's bells ring the swells
Ring for me, ring for me
[Verse 5]
East-by-north or east-north-east
Give her what she steers the best
I don't want this foggy wave
To be my far and lonely grave
[Chorus]
Cape Sable's horn blows all day long
I wonder why, I wonder why
Cape Breton's bells ring the swells
Ring for me, ring for me
Cape Sable's horn blows all day long
I wonder why, I wonder why
Cape Breton's bells ring the swells
Ring for me, ring for me
