Mussels in the Corner

Deed I is in love with you
Up all night in the foggy dew
'Deed I is in love with you
Mussels in the corner

Ask a bayman for a smoke
He will say my pipe is broke
Ask a bayman for a chew
He will bite it off for you

'Deed I is in love with you
Up all night in the foggy dew
'Deed I is in love with you
Mussels in the corner

Dirty shirts and dirty ties
Dirty rings around their eyes
Can't get up the morning boys
The sleepy Newfoundlanders

'Deed I is in love with you
Up all night in the foggy dew
'Deed I is in love with you
Mussels in the corner

Here they are as white as ghosts
Baymen in their little boats
Women in their petticoats
Down in Petty Harbour

'Deed I is in love with you
Up all night in the foggy dew
'Deed I is in love with you
Mussels in the corner

I took Liza to the ball
Liza couldn't dance at all
I beat her head against the wall
Mussels in the corner

'Deed I is in love with you
Up all night in the foggy dew
'Deed I is in love with you
Mussels in the corner

All the people in Belle Isle
Don't get up till half past nine
Wash their face in kerosene oil
Polly, you're a corker!

'Deed I is in love with you
Up all night in the foggy dew
'Deed I is in love with you
Mussels in the corner

Elsie Murray, she's so fine,
Don't get up til half past nine
Won't get up to feed the swine
Dirty Elsie Murray.

'Deed I is in love with you
Up all night in the foggy dew
'Deed I is in love with you
Mussels in the corner
