I'SE THE B'Y (I AM THE BOY)

I'se the b'y who builds the boat 
I'se the b'y that sails her 
I'se the b'y that catches the fish 
And brings them home to Liza 
Hip your partner Sally Tibbo 
Hip your partner Sally Brown 
Fogo, Twillingate, Mortens Harbor, all around the circle

(KEVIN)
Hold it 
Right there 
Now boys 
That was a perfectly good song 
Until you got your dirty gams on the guitar 
I know you can play an accordion Ray 
But, let me tell you 
You're doing it all wrong 
Now boys let me tell you 
This is the way we play, "I'se the b'y" in better circles 
Now watch this, but 
This part on the front is where we do the instrumental work 
Now normally of course this is done by an orchestra 
Orchestra very large proportions 

(RAY)
We can, we can accompany you later on  

(KEVIN)
You can 
You may providing you can do it Ray 
Let's try it from the top then shall we 
Now listen to me 
Pretty good so far

I'm the boy who builds the boat 
I'm the boy who sails her 
I'm the boy who catches the fish 
And brings them home to Liza, Liza, Liza 
Hip your partner Sally Tibbo 
Hip your partner Sally Brown 
Fogo, Twillingate, Mortens Harbor, all around the circle

I took Liza to a dance
Faith that she could travel
Every step that she did take
Was up to her knees in gravel, gravel
Every step that she did take
Was up to her knees in mud
Filthy mud

For I'm the boy 
(He's the b'y) 
I'm the boy 
(He's the b'y)
I'm the boy who builds the boat 
Ime the boy 
(He's the b'y) 
I'm the boy 
(He's the b'y)
Brings them home to Liza 
(ACCORDIAN BREAK)
Liza, Liza, Liza, Liza, Liza, Liza 
La la la Liza 
La la la Liza 
La la la Liza, Liza 
La la la Liza 
Builds a boat 
Brings them home
Maggoty Fish
No good for winter
I can buy them as good as dat in Bonavista 
Liza
Liza

Thank you very much, thank you very much indeed
