Biografia:
The Once is a folk trio based in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. The trio is comprised of Geraldine Hollett from Burin, Phil Churchill from Corner Brook and Andrew Dale from Coley's Point.
The trio first met in the summer of 2005 while working with the Rising Tide Theatre Company in Trinity. There they discovered a mutual appreciation for folk/traditional music, particularly for the music of their native Newfoundland and the British Isles.

I went into the chandler's shop some candles for to buy,

I looked around the chandler's shop but no one did I spy.
G C D
I was disappointed and some angry words I said,
G G F# G C D G
Then I heard the sound of a (knock,knock,knock) right above my head. (2x)

Well I was slick and I was quick, and up the stairs I sped,

And much to my surprise I found the chandler's wife in bed;
G C D
And with her was another man of most gigantic size,
G G F# G C D G
And they were having a (knock,knock,knock) right before my eyes. (2x)

Now, all you married men take heed, if ever you come to town,
G C D
If you should leave your woman alone, be sure to tie her down.
G C D
Or, if you would be kind to her, just sit her on that floor,
G G F# G C D G
Mind give her so much of that (knock,knock,knock) she doesn't need any more.

Mind give her so much of that (knock,knock,knock) she doesn't need any more.
