[Intro]
[Verse]
All you Maine men, proud and young
When you run your easting down
Don t go down to Fundy Bay
She ll wear your time away
[Verse]
Fundy s long and Fundy s wide
Fundy s fog and rain and tide
Never see the sun or sky
Just the green wave going by
[Chorus]
Cape Sable s horn blows all day long
Wonder why
Wonder why
[Verse]
Oh, you know, I d rather ride
The Grenfell Strait or the Breton tide
Spend my days on the Labrador
And never see old Fundy s shore
All my days on the Labrador
And never see old Fundy s shore
[Chorus]
Cape Sable s horn blows all day long
Wonder why
Wonder why
[Verse]
Give her stays l, give her main
In the darkness and the rain
I don t mind the wet and cold
I just don t like the growing old
I don t mind the wet and cold
I just don t like the growing old
[Chorus]
Cape Sable s horn blows all day long
Wonder why
Wonder why
[Verse]
East-by-North or East-Northeast
Give her what she steers the best
I don t want this foggy wave
To be my far and lonely grave
I don t want this foggy wave
To be my far and lonely grave
[Chorus]
Cape Sable s horn blows all day long
Wonder why
Wonder why
[Outro]
Cape Breton s bells ring in the swells
Ring for me
Ring for me
