Great Big Sea - Concerning Charlie Horse lyrics



Come all yee friends ill sit ya down and sing an o-ful ditty
Twas on a day in April month we started from the city
We planned a day or two at mars we stalwart men were chosen
To remove ol' Charlie from angle pond
Who fell in when the pond was frozen

We seven men came roarin down on the road to roach's line
We might have stopped in Avondale, or Briggs might have been fine
We was hungry as sin but we never stopped in
Nor took any time to park us we all of us knew that we must get through To remove ol' charlie's carcass

Chorus;
Here's to Charlie horse and here's to Shane the master
No better horse e'er ran the course or pulled the logs more faster
Here's to Charlie horse and he wants ye all to know
Charlie's gone to the big corral, where all good horses go

In the car there was no pocket comb, and beside him all was coastin
And barret boudabile and jimmy marc in the backseat he was roastin there Was Smiley stubborn on the mounted police
It wasn't hard to find him and Johnny Pollock
And Sage Bresain was sittin right in behind him

Kevin and Buck was also there for they brought some braun and brains they Was aimin to help as best the could to remove ol' chuck's remains Charlie Was like a brudder' to Shane and he loved him well of course Charlie was a Very good man you see although he'd been a horse

Chorus

Now ill spare you all the gruesome details and just relate the end
With two stout dories and a few strong ropes
We removed old Shaney's friend we gave him a decent sendoff
With all our hats removed
To off we send ol Shane and his friend our loyalty was proved

Somewhere up in the great beyond his eyes are shining bright
Charlie nods an approving nod cuz he knows we did him right
Shane will join him there one day and he'll bring the harness leather
and so unto all eternity they'll pull the logs together

chorus
