lyrics

On one October morning,
I seen a wondrous sight.
Was the timber drover Bigerlow
a hailing from Detroit.
Watch her, catch her,
jump in her jujubajou.
Give her the sheet and let her go,
we're the boys to see her through.
You shoulda' heard her howling
when the wind was blowing free,
it was on a trip from Buffalo to Milwaukee.

On the first fine day in April,
we set out from Thunder Bay.
And boys, those blue-eyed Ontario girls
make it hard to sail away.
Ice flows, low-flow,
almost had to drag her through the Soo,
a cyclone wind played us for a toy,
it was springtime fun down in Illinois,
that water spot it spun us about
all the way up to Traverse Bay,
and the captain said
"boys that was a helluva noise,
but that's just how we earn our pay."

Then a fair wind to Toronto,
then to the docks at Buffalo,
then back out to Chicago...
