[Fiddle Intro] [Verse 1] We just lost sight of the Queensport light Down the bay before us And the wind has blown some cold today With just a wee touch of snow Along the shore from Lazy Head Hard abeam Half Island Tonight well let the anchor go Down in Fogartys Cove [Verse 2] My Sallys like the ravens wing Her hair is like her mothers With hands that make quick work of a chore And eyes like the top of a stove Come suppertime shell walk the beach Wrapped in my old duffle With her eyes upon the masthead reach Down in Fogartys Cove [Chorus x2] She will walk the sandy shore so plain Watch the combers roll in Til I come to Wild Rose Chance again Down in Fogartys Cove [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] She cries when Im away to sea Nags me when Im with her Shed rather Id a government job Or maybe go on the dole But I love the waves as I pull about Nose into the channel My Sally keeps the supper and a bed for me Down in Fogartys Cove [Chorus x2] She will walk the sandy shore so plain Watch the combers roll in Til I come to Wild Rose Chance again Down in Fogartys Cove [Fiddle Outro]
