Intro
F
VERSE:
F Dm C A#
Well it's just my luck to have the watch, with nothing left to do
F A# Dm C
But to watch the deadly waters glide as we roll north to the 'Soo',
F Dm Am A#
Wonder when they'll turn again and pitch us to the rail
F C A#
Whirl off one more youngster in the gale.
F Dm C A#
The kid was so damned eager. It was all so big and new.
F A# Dm C
Never had to tell him twice, or find him work to do.
F Dm Am A#
And evenings on the mess deck he was always first to sing,
F C F
Show us pictures of the girl he'd wed in spring.
CHORUS
C A# F
But I told that kid a hundred times "Don't take the Lakes for granted.
A# F Dm C
They go from calm to a hundred knots so fast they seem enchanted."
F Gsus2 Am A#
But tonight a red-eyed Wiarton girl lies staring at the wall,
Dm C A#
And her lover's gone into a white squall.
F Dm C A#
It's a thing that us oldtimers know. In a sultry summer calm
F A# Dm C
There comes a blow from nowhere, and it goes off like a bomb.
F Dm Am A#
And a fifteen thousand tonner can be thrown upon her beam
F C A#
While the gale takes all before it with a scream.
F Dm C A#
The kid was on the hatches, lying staring at the sky.
F A# Dm C
From where I stood I swear I could see tears fall from his eyes.
F Dm Am A#
So I hadn't the heart to tell him that he should be on a line,
F C F
Even on a night so warm and fine.
REPEAT CHORUS
F Dm C A#
And I could feel her keeling over with the fury of the blow.
F A# Dm C
And I watched the rail go under then, so terrible and slow.
F Dm Am A#
Then, like some great dog she shook herself and roared upright again.
F C F
Far overside, I heard him call my name.
