Harbour Lecou Lyrics - The Hard & The Easy - Great Big Sea

Harbour Lecou 

As I rowed ashore from my schooner closeby 

a girl on the beach sure I chance to espy 

her hair it was red and her bonnet was blue 

her place of abode was in harbour lecou 

Oh boldy I asked her to walk on the sand 

she smiled like an angel and held out her hand 

so I buttoned me gurnsy and hove way me chew 

in the dark rollin waters of harbour lecou 

My ship she lay anchored far out on the tide 

as I strode along with that maid on my side 

I told her I loved her I said Id be true 

and I winked at the moon over harbour lecou 

As we walked on the sands at the close of the day 

I thought of my wife who was home in Torbay 

I knew that she'd kill me if she only knew 

I was courting this lassie in harbour lecou 

As we passed a log cabin that stood on the shore 

I met an old comrade I sailed with before 

he treated me kindly, saying jack how are you? 

Its seldom I see you in harbour lecou 

And as I was parting this maiden in tow 

he broke up my party with one single blow 

he said regards to your mrs and your wee kiddies too 

I remember her well she's from harbour lecou 

I looked at this damsel a standin 'long side 

her jaw it just dropped and her mouth opened wide 

and then like she-cat upon me she flew 

and I fled from the furies of harbour lecou 

So come all ye young sailors who walk on the shore 

beware of old comrades you sailed with before 

beware of the maidens with the bonnets of blue 

and the pretty young damsels of harbour lecou. 

And the pretty young damsels of harbour lecou.
