Great Big Sea - French Shore lyrics



French Shore

When I was a young man
Just barely fourteen
Craving adventure and lore
I boarded a clipper
Me dad was a skipper
And sailed it along the French shore yeah
We sailed all along the French shore

What beautiful vessels
Were sailin' back then
All bound for the north Labrador
And so for that reason
They came here that season
To sail all along the French shore yeah
To sail all along the French shore

On each ship a maiden was hired to cook
A beautiful girl to adore
So young and cavorting
All ready for courting
While sailing along the French shore yeah
While sailing along the French shore

Me too young for courting I soon did decide
To spy on the lovers on shore
I spied on a couple so loving and supple
While sailing along the French shore yeah
While sailing along the French shore
Their actions peculiar appeared to me then
But now they're not funny no more
They were huggin' and kissin'
Oh what I'd been missing
While sailing along the French shore yeah
While sailing along the French shore

That couple has children now married I know
You see they're not young any more
Still yet they don't know
How I witnessed this show
That they played all along the French shore yeah
They played all along the French shore

That ends the story of my bonny days
Wish that I could live them once more
And this much I know
I'd produce my own show
And I'd stage it along the French shore yeah
While sailing along, sailing along, while sailing along, sailing along
While sailing along the French shore

Sailing along

While sailing along that shore
