CAPE COD GIRLS
(Trad plus Harry Campbell)
Cape Cod girls they have no combs
Heave away, heave away
They comb their hair with codfish bones
We are bound for Australia
Heave away my bully bully boys
Heave away, heave away
Heave away and don’t you make a noise
We are bound for Australia
Cape Cod boys they have no sleds
They slide downhill on codfish heads
Cape Cod men they have no sails
They sail their boats with codfish tails
Cape Cod wives they have no pins
They pin their gowns with codfish fins
Cape Cod ladies have no frills
They trim their clothes with codfish gills
Cape Cod folk they eat no pies
They dine at night on codfish eyes
(Trad plus Harry Campbell)
Cape Cod girls they have no combs
Heave away, heave away
They comb their hair with codfish bones
We are bound for Australia
Heave away my bully bully boys
Heave away, heave away
Heave away and don’t you make a noise
We are bound for Australia
Cape Cod boys they have no sleds
They slide downhill on codfish heads
Cape Cod men they have no sails
They sail their boats with codfish tails
Cape Cod wives they have no pins
They pin their gowns with codfish fins
Cape Cod ladies have no frills
They trim their clothes with codfish gills
Cape Cod folk they eat no pies
They dine at night on codfish eyes
