Biografía:
Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.
Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

WHITE SQUALL Time: 4/4 Tenor: C Bass: A
- Stan Rogers, 1982, on: From Fresh Water
1 * 6m 4
Now it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
3 * 2m 5
But watch the deadly waters glide, as we roll north to the Soo
1 * 6m 4
And wonder when they'll turn again, and pitch us to the rail
3m 5 1 *
And whirl off one more youngster in the gale
1 * 6m 4
The kid was so damned eager, it was all so big and new
3 * 2m 5
You never had to tell him twice, or find him work to do
1 * 6m 4
And evenings on the mess deck, he was always first to sing
3m 5 1 *
And show us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring
CHORUS ONE (after verses 1, 3,):
5 57 4 3
But I told that kid a hundred times, don't take the lakes for granted
6m 3 2m 5
They'll go from calm to a hundred knots, so fast they seem en-chanted
1 * 6m 4
But to-night some red-eyed Wiarton girl, lies staring at the wall
3 5 1 *
And her lover's gone in-to a white squall
Now it's a thing that us old-timers know, in a sultry summer calm
There comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb
And a sixteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beam
While the gale takes all before it with a scream
The kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky
>From where I stood, I swear I could, see tears fall from his eye
So I hadn't the heart to tell him, that he should be on a line
Even on a night so warm and fine

WHITE SQUALL PAGE TWO
1 * 6m 4
When it struck, he sat up with a start, I roared to him: Get down
3 * 2m 5
But for all that he could hear, I might as well not made a sound
1 * 6m 4
So I clung there to the stanchions and I felt my face grow pale
3m 5 1 *
As he crawled hand-over-hand along the rail
1 * 6m 4
Now I could feel her heeling over with the fury of the blow
3 * 2m 5
And I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow
1 * 6m 4
Then like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright a-gain
3m 5 1 *
While overside I heard him call my name
1 * 6m 4
So it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
3 * 2m 5
But watch the deadly waters glide, as we roll north to the Soo
1 * 6m 4
And wonder when they'll turn again, and pitch us to the rail
3m 5 1 *
And whirl off one more youngster in the gale
CHORUS TWO:
5 57 4 3
And I tell these kids a hundred times, don't take the lakes for granted
6m 3 2m 5

1 * 6m 4
But to-night some red-eyed Wiarton girl, lies staring at the wall
3 5 1 *
And her lover's gone into a white squall
