When I was a young man just barely 1
F C
Craving adventure and lore
F C
I boarded a clipper me dad was a skipper
G C C2
and sailed it along the French shore ya
F G C
we sailed all along the French shore
What beautiful vessels were sailing back then
Ah bound for the north Labrador
It's over that reason they came here that season
To sail all along the French shore ya
To sail all along the French shore
On each ship a maiden was hired to cook
A beautiful girl to adore so young and cavorting
All ready for courting while sailing along the French shore ya
While sailing along the French shore
Being too young for courting I soon did decide
To spy on the lovers on shore I spied on a couple
So loving and supple while sailing along the French shore ya
While sailing along the French shore
Their actions peculiar appeared to me then
but now their not funny no more
they were huggin and kissin' oh what ive been missin
while sailing along the French shore ya
while sailing along sailing along while sailing along the French shore
That couple has children now married I know
You see they're not young anymore
Yet still they don't know how I witnessed the show
That they played all along the French shore ya
That they played all along the French shore
And that ends the story of my bonnie days
Oh that I could live them once more
and this much I know I'd produce my own show
and I'd stage it along the French shore ya

While sailin along sailin along

While sailin along sailing along
